Can it be used for Architectural programs like CAD, Revit, 3DS Max....etc????? Are there other models you'd recommend for this type of work?

I have not used this with any of those programs. This model is small and basic, but it is verry responsive and reliable. If i ever upgrade it will be with this brand.

you can use mouse or pen to navigate windows or any cad or paint program, I use jfdraw and vectorengineer it takes a little time to get the hang of it like touch pen to pad is like a left click and going to the corner of the pad to move the mouse to a corner trips me up a little ect...

I'm sorry. Can't tell. I use it only with Photoshop to make freehand drawings. It's perfect for that purpose.Dorthe

I use it for graphic programs like photoshop and inDesign. I don't see why it wouldn't work with Architectural programs. It's like a mouse. I love this little tablet. But I don't need anything fancy!

I'm not exactly sure. I use the tablet for art projects as a starter. It can be used in place of your mouse though, for better accuracy. For a while, I had a very old mouse that wasn't working too well, & was using the pen as the mouse (you just hover it over the tablet & press to click, & it has the right/left button functions on it as well). Wacom, Cintiq & Intuos tablets are very different, & this was/is my first one. I'm sorry I can't be of much help.

Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 (and previous versions) will run on this computer, however it will run very ineffectively. It will use about 50% of this computers RAM and nearly all of it's processing speed. If you are using advanced tools such as the Healing Brush Tool, Blur Tool, Smear Tool, and anything else that does advanced pixel manipulation, the computer will slow down and the program may crash. I recommend finding a machine with at least 6GB of RAM, and quality performance dual core processor. You might find one for around $350

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!

I use it for a drawing application, Smartdraw, I found it was no better or worse than others. I had an ASUS Slate pc before. I have not used it on the programs you listed. Good luck

I spoke to an AutoCAD representative directly and he recommended the Quadro K600. It was also one of the cards recommended on the AutoCAD website. My AutoCAD engineer seems to be pleased with the performance. However, he does not do a ton of 3D rendering. It's always best to check with the manufacturer of the 3D modeling product you're using to get the best equipment for the type of work you will be doing. Hope this helps.

I would assume you can being that I do heavy Photoshop n Lightroom programs .. I haven't run my Cabnetware cad on it but this is a really great monster of a notebook being 64 and Win7 instead of 8 ..

I have enjoyed this video card so far. I use the card for 3-D AutoCAD and Revit so it is pretty powerful for 3-d graphics. I have read that the cards do go bad but it usually happens right away and then you have to send it back to Amazon for a return.

Definitely. You'll still need additional software to control the machine and convert vectors (fonts or text in this case) to CAM but there are a few controller software packages that can do text/engraving without the need for additional software (i.e. Mach 3, EMC2). And if you decide to go the route of CAD/CAM in addition to your controller, Autodesk Fusion 360 is free for private use and has a great support network.

I agree with Wright there. I don't know about flawless as it all also depends on many factors but all the Adobe apps like Photoshop cc 64 bit and acrobat etc., run very well.

Yes, it is, from 10.5 and up. They have templates you start new projects directed towards it. Once you figure out Performance Mode, you can get it working on old projects.

Irving,While this system can handle tasks such as rendering, you will need to look at the system requirements of the specific programs you plan to run, to determine whether or not the Hellion is suited for them. You may want to look at our "Blueprint" series systems, here on Amazon, as well. They were designed with designers in mind. A quick search for "CybertronPC Blueprint" will get you a list of them.

It really depends on what you are doing. 2D applications this will be fine. 3D you may want to consider an i5.

I used it to draw a deck for the back yard, and used the dimension application to calculated lengths and widths, etc. and the deck ended up pretty great. Since I was a CAD CAM Programmer at work, and using different software, the TurboCAD software I had at home fitted in smoothly to what I wanted to do with the deck. Mastering TurboCAD isn't going to hold back anything you're planning to fabricate, and plan material usage. It's surely worth the effort for Your own projects You want to engage in..

That is not something I use it for. I think based on what I have experienced though it would work fine. If that was what you wanted a pc for then I think the next model up would be better for the graphics you want. Better but not necessary. I am very happy with mine,

can't speak specifically to archicad but I've used Revit, Navisworks, AutoCAD on the laptop and never had any issues. The dual video card is nice. Also plays skyrim really well. Overall the best laptop I've owned (previously owned a dell and gateway). Highly recommend this laptop.

This works just fine, it just depends what apps you use. I'm running the whole Adobe Suite CS6 just fine while doing multiple things without missing a beat.

I have this graphics card and it has worked without any problems in windows 8 84 bit OS. I built my own computer Fall 2012 around an Asus Sabertooth Z77 mother board and it works great with AutoCAD 2014. I do not use Autodesk Revit 2011.
