Howdy Everyone !

I'm in the process of buying a new laptop for work.  I'm not an IT guy and don't play one on TV so... will REVIT Architecture and REVIT MEP run on this configuration?

rde-

revit will run on anything- although it's nice to have

things move a little quicker with a faster processor..

but i wouldn't get a laptop with an old i7 like that-

or even with a new i7- they run too hot and they

don't have on-chip graphics to further cut down

on heat and power consumption..

Hu !

 Thanks for the input ! I need the laptop for portability.  So I'll shop for somehting with a faster processor that doesn't need to be running in TURBO all the time.
