My hope was that the Macbook Air or Pro would work well enough to replace these computers entirely but maybe the best solution is to keep a few of these around for more demanding CAD work and use Airs for our other daily tasks, fieldwork, events/shows, and the occasional CAD model when needed. We could have easily skipped that expense if we had 8-10 hours of battery life and just charged our laptops back at the hotel at the end of the day. peugeotmate 19 days ago Do you think a Macbook Air M1 8gb RAM enough currently to run Fusion 360 Until the native version arrives. I know that's a pretty specific example but after 5-6 events in a year, each of which lasts about 2-3 days, it starts to add up. In the new update they say the M1 and M2 will be natively supported by summer 2023. For example, we recently went to a show/event and had to pay $107/day for electricity at the convention center just to keep our computers charged for the day. Super heavy, bulky, terrible battery life, so we basically treat them like desktop PCs.Īs much as I'd like to think that CAD is the most important aspect of our business, there seem to be more drawbacks than advantages to these for everything else we do. They work well for Fusion but they're not great for everything else we need. A few Alienware gaming laptops with i7s, 16 GB of memory, and RTX 3070 GPU. That's a good idea and kinda what we have right now.
