Hope this isn't a headache to answer.īudget is "all important" here, so do get back to us on that. Side question lets say i had something big i wanted to render and my computer or office 'render farm' (whatever) was struggling, is there a company/website you can send it to to render fairly quickly? if not there should be.

I imagine some video will be created in the animation of a Set Design presentation, but probably a few seconds to a minute long, at a guess.Īs for operating system- Windows 7.5/8, is there one to avoid if possible?

graphics cards mean nothing to me, and i don't know at what point something is too much or too little. Perhaps if someone can break down the specs of what I should need, incl the real-world difference in the options of each spec, it might give me a fighting chance to make my own decision, as model numbers of i.e. I have an external hard drive - will that help out with performance etc? I don't need top of the range, but maybe better than basic.Ī decent screen size and resolution - like goldilocks here, not too small to work on or too big to transport. So i imagine I need to give you more information to help you help me, fire away and ask me as i don't know what you need. It would be nice if it didn't take a whole day for something to be rendered, though i know things can be outsourced to another machine.Īnd i read that you shouldn't prioritise this aspect over other features, which are more important. But for now i need a competent one of my own. From that point it will have a sharp increase in use.įor all I know, when i get a job, the perfect computer will be provided.

#Best laptops for autocad 2014 software#
I would prefer a laptop to a workstation but would be interested in how they compare.īasically I am looking to practice the software as I have recently learned AutoCAD and 3Dmax, with the aim of getting a job within Set Design in Exhibition/Event Industry.

I stumbled at the section where you choose between System Hardware and Graphics Hardware. My tech knowledge is zilch, so please stretch out abbreviations.Īutodesk website gives some hints, but frankly its all greek to me. I need a laptop that can handle the newest 3Dmax, as well as AutoCAD (for the most part just 2D) as well as Adobe - Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. I really tried researching, but seem to just find lists of letters and numbers and no real answer! help!
