He has serious lust for it, but I wouldnt want him to be frustrated given the models limitations (especially the max 4 gigs of ram.) Would it be better to surprise him with a more practical (but also less design-lustworthy) mbp.

Autocad Reddit Upgrade From My

I am looking to upgrade from my Macbook Air revA to the newest version.

Autocad Reddit Install AutoCad And

How does AutoCad for Mac run on the new Airs Its an Air, so Im not expecting that much, but my revA wont install AutoCad and Id like to get away from dual booting into Windows to run AutoCad and Solidworks.

It does look far better than a 13 mbp though due to the higher resolution.

I am ready to buy my first mac, a 11 macbook Air, but I have some trobles Id like to discuss with you.

What do you think, will they work fine Have you ever tried to use softwares like Solidworks (or something like it) with parallels Lorenzo PS: Im pretty sure I made a lot of grammar mistakes, forgive me plz.

I want to be able to access all of my applications without rebooting.

I use Parallels (upgraded to Parallels 6.0) and so far have had a fairly stellar experience, with just a few minor hickups.

Please note however, that my main machine is a 27 iMac and that when I run AutoCAD on teh Air I usually have it hooked-up to a larger monitor.

If it fit in my schoolbag I will buy it.

In Italy we have few apple stores, and they usually have not much macs on display ) For HLdan: Excuse me, I had not opened a new topic because in the first post Amasia was also talking about Solidworks.

Next time I will open my new thread for treynolds: I readed you have the 13 air witk the top CPU; How about the differences between yours and the base 13 CPU Lorenzo.

The biggest difference will be made by the amount of RAM, not processor speed, followed by the amount of drive space.

Also, since ACAD is now native for the Mac, Im sure that its more efficient, as you wouldnt have to run ACAD on top of Windows on top of Snow Leopard, as Im doing.

I tested it out on a 13 MBP 2.4 with an SSD in it a much more snappy machine than my 11 MBA I may add, and it wasnt great.

I reckon it is the video card that holds it back and really I would recommend a 15 MBP if it is your only machine.

If a secondary machine you may get away with it, but any complicated models are not going to be much fun.

As I said previously, it is great on my mac pro and a different experience to the MBA, and that is just drawing a couple of lines Still to test it out properly really, but I guess I could with some drawings from work.

Cheers.
