![]() ![]() 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. We found this to be more than enough power for even the most intensive CAD workloads when we tested it out – see our Dell review for more details. It also comes with some powerful components as well, including 11th generation Intel Core processors, up to 64GB RAM and an Nvidia RTX GeForce 3060 graphics card. This is an impressively thin and light laptop, with the same attractive design found in the smaller Dell XPS 13 and XPS 15 laptops. The Dell XPS 17 also proves a large-screen laptop doesn't have to be big and bulky. The Dell XPS 17 is a laptop worth considering, then, as it packs a fantastic 17-inch UHD+ screen with HDR, which is bright, vibrant and comfortable to work on. Having a gorgeous, large screen with a high resolution can be a great help for using CAD applications, giving you more room to work, and to show off your projects to co-workers and clients. See our LG Gram 17 (2021) for more information. This is a fantastic laptop that disproves the notion that large-screen laptops have to be big and bulky. When reviewing the LG gram 17, we were particularly impressed with how light it was. So whether you’re running AutoCAD or any other 3D modelling software, you can be sure of a smooth, responsive and speedy experience. It’s a strong performer overall, too, with the 11th Generation Intel Core processor, working with well the 8-16GB RAM and Intel’s integrated Iris Xe graphics. Plus with a resolution of 2,560 x 1600, you get the high level of detail you need when working with sophisticated 3D models. This WQXGA IPS display is both big and beautiful, with vivid and nuanced colours and deep, rich blacks. But maybe you want to see your CAD designs on a bigger display, allowing you to focus better on all the small details? In which case, let us point you towards the LG Gram 17, with its 17-inch screen. ![]() So, if like me, you have a Mac in your office, why not download the latest beta of DraftSight 2019 for the macOS and give it a go.The laptops we’ve featured so far have all had mid-sized screens. I haven’t had any reliability issues with DraftSight itself. Draftsight itself has been fine, the only difficulty I had was with the macOS, but that is down to me being unfamiliar with it. I’ve been using this Beta for day to day drafting over the last week, just to get to grips with the interface. If you want to configure DraftSight, you can change various settings through the Options Dialogue Box, just like on the Windows version. Obviously, due to differences between Windows and macOS, the layout of the toolbars is slightly different, but users, both new and old, should soon get used to it. The interface is very familiar, with the same top menu on all versions. It’s not the latest version of macOS, but DraftSight 2019 is running fine without any issues. I’m currently running DraftSight 2019 Beta 3 on macOS Sierra 10.121.6. ![]() ![]() If you haven’t used DraftSight on macOS before, you may be curious as to how it looks and feels. We would recommend purchasing DraftSight 2020 for the macOS once available and upgrading from DraftSight 2019 Beta to 2020 Retail. The paid version of DraftSight 2020 for the macOS is currently scheduled for release at the end of February, 2020 and will support the latest Mac Operating System (version 10.15), Catalina. This version will cease to function on March 31st, 2020. Although the previous free versions of DraftSight went End of Life on December 31st 2019, macOS users can continue to use the DraftSight 2019 Mac Beta version by upgrading to Service Pack 3 Beta. The current version is DraftSight 2019 Beta. If you’ve ever been on the DraftSight download page, I’m sure you’ll have noticed the option to download and install DraftSight for the Apple Mac. ![]()
