Used to create both 2D and 3D designs, it's been around since 1982, and is very much the industry standard for all the professions we’ve mentioned.

Can all laptops run AutoCAD?Īlmost everyone working in CAD will need to use AutoCAD, a computer-aided design and drafting software application developed by Autodesk. Our main problem is the confusing array of configurations, but if you manage to navigate that, there’s much to like here. But in practice, we’ve found it runs spectacularly quickly, and very quiet too. That said, you are only getting half the onboard RAM and storage of the Acer. The specs are quite similar to the Acer ConceptD 7, listed above, providing you with more than enough power to run demanding and resource-intensive 3D software, not to mention AutoCAD. But if you’re looking for a premium Apple laptop and are willing to pay the price, you won’t find finer.Īnother great choice for 3D modellers is the Razer Blade 15 Advanced Model. This laptop is very much the Rolls Royce option of MacBooks, and may be overkill for a lot of people’s needs. You’ll also benefit from a super-high screen resolution of 2560 x 1600, and up to 2TB of storage. You’ll doubtless get less than that doing intense work in AutoCAD, but it’s a surety that you’ll get through a professional day without having to recharge.

The MacBook Pro also offers up to 20 hours of battery life: the longest of any Mac ever. Note also that you can run iOS here as well, so you can open up the AutoCAD mobile app if that helps your workflow. In short, it’s more than capable of running both AutoCAD and resource-hungry 3D modelling software like Maya, 3DS Max, and Fusion 360. Running macOS Big Sur on Apple’s proprietary eight-core M1 chip (3.2Ghz), with up to 64GB RAM, this is a powerful laptop indeed.
Basically, because it’s the best Apple laptop overall. Prefer MacOS to Windows? Then you’ll want the MacBook Air (M1 2020), which is the best Apple laptop for CAD today. In which case, we'd say this is the best cheap laptop for CAD you can buy today. That said, if you’re not working on rich and colourful designs, and just want to produce standard technical drawings with your CAD software, that may not matter to you. Brightness, contrast, colour accuracy and viewing angles are all well below the standards set by the pricier laptops on this list.

Although it’s a nice size at 15.6ins, and offers Full HD resolution, the picture quality overall reflects the budget price of this laptop. Where you will have to compromise is in the display. And up to 8.5 hours’ battery life is pretty impressive for the price, too. With 1TB of storage, you get plenty of space to store all your designs. The Asus Aspire 5 is considerably more affordable, and still able to run CAD software smoothly and efficiently. In fact, with 8GB RAM and an 11th generation Intel processor providing 4.2GHz, it’s quite a capable performer. If the first laptop on our list is beyond your means, don’t stress.
