Will AutoCad run on this machine?

Yes it will run AutoCad. I run Solidworks, SolidCam and Numrotoplus which all three are very demanding softwares for strong hardware. Of course you can always get a better stronger laptop but I like the size and weight. I travel and dock it in a docking station when I'm home. I run 2-24" HP Elite displays.

Yes. I am currently running AutoCAD 2010, solid works 2012 and mastercam x8 and all run well enough.

I cannot speak to the Cad software but I use Adobe 6.0 and have had no issues.

Yes - this requires the vendor's forms software: http://www.acecad.com.tw/index.php/products/digimemo-software/digimemo-form-software

Only if you are using a software package like adobe or a CAD package like solid works

I think so, since it is not an integrated graphic card. However it will not be as easy as switching a desktop graphic card. On the other hand I think for a laptop workstation, the graphic card as a professional graphic card, is already pretty good for CAD and 3D Modelling. I use Maya, Rhino and AutoCad everyday, and I find the graphic card to be decent. On the other hand l, if what you look for is a gaming/multimedia graphic card, you could get a better gaming laptop at a lower price, instead of this workstation.

I do not know. We are using windows 7 64 bit on our Dell XPS 8700. The card works well with all Autodesk Products in this environment.

I can't speak to AutoCAD, but Adobe Suite works...okay. To explain, the Adobe products do -not- scale well if you're running at the native (3200x1800px) resolution of the panel. The UI will be rather small. I still use it as such, just wanted to let you know as it could be off-putting (unless you run it at a lower resolution, though I don't know if I'd recommend that depending on the type of work you're doing). That being said, if you're doing granular pixel work, be aware that the sub-pixel arrangement of the panel that Samsung has used is not a standard RGB stripe. It's fine for normal work, but if you're getting in close to the panel some odd edges can be noticed. Performance-wise, I find the laptop to be okay. Remember, this is an ultrabook-class with an ULV processor, it's not going to perform like a desktop or hefty laptop. I find the performance acceptable for most things until I do something that's using the 'content-aware' and processor-heavy applications that take long times for all systems...the CPU turbo works great for short boosts of performance, but if it's something that takes long periods of time normally it might be noticeable that this is a low-voltage chip. Now, when you consider the fact that I've done content-aware fills AT ALL on this Ultrabook (and we're talking for things that are &gt; 10000x5000px)...it's pretty astonishing!

Completely depends on your use. If you're using ANY Autodesk, Adobe or Bentley software you need to look at the K620. Graphics are everything now days. I have this card, the K4000 and K610. They work 3D magic!

Yes, i run ArcGis and AutoCad and too can run ENVI, SAGA, QGIS, and other GIS and CAD.

The software that comes with the machine will get you started, but doesn't offer a lot. I bought the Auto Punch software and it lets you do a lot as far as design and such.

Yes that's what I ran it on. You may have to run it in Windows XP Compatability mode which is easy to do.

Yes, it is great running Autocad, Revit and all programas for rendering like rhino or lumion! Great product!
1459783
Yes! It works EXCELLENT with design programs. I edit videos and photographs and it runs so smoothly with the programs.

yes but archicad recommends a quad core, we do have them, it does meet the minimum requirements but it may be slow.

So far it's run everything I've thrown at it. I bought it to run games but I've been doing so autocad drawings and it runs flawlessly.

I am running OpenBSD, so I can't say if windows runs on it. This device does not have blinding speed, so that might effect AutoCAD presuming that windows runs.

It has some issues. The touchpad stops working sometimes apparently without any reason. Also it gets very slow sometimes, hopefully that's because of windows so it could be fixed with an update. I'd say it's good for a student, my question would be, What kind of student? what software are you using? FYI, it can run autocad and solidworks well...
