Hi there, I've been beating my head for weeks. I am graduating, and need a laptop to groove into my professional life. Should I get the 13' or the 15'? I recognize the weight difference. But I was looking at the capacity.
I really don't know what the numbers mean. The heaviest program I would be using is AutoCAD, the requirements could be found here: I was thinking about getting a beefed up 13' or if I go for the 15' I may as well go for the i7. Can the 13' handle AutoCAD 2011?

Macbook air will be my second computer, my little notebook (I already own a powerful desktop PC), but sometimes I need to use softwares like Autocad, Solidworks (with parallels) ad Matlab with the 11'(only for light works). Hi.Iam an Architect.I would like to purchase a macbook pro 15.4 inch 512 gb, 16 gb.So i would like to know the possibilities and advantages of using 3d softwares and autocad.And also is 3dsmax available for mac os or should i install it with windows.
I might have to get the Windows version and use it through Virtual Machine. Would really appreciate all the help I could get.
Thank you Applers. If you will be using AutoCad, don't consider the 13' machine at all. A 15' machine with a substantially newer and faster processor and thus greater 'future-proofing' (compatibility with new software versions farther into the future) and a higher (1440 x 900) or much higher (1680 x 1050) resolution display would be a better investment for you. And you won't want to run AutoCad in a virtual machine — it will run better in the [new Mac-native version ] or, if you already own the Windows version, natively in Windows via Boot Camp. You will probably want an external display for your AutoCad work, too. The link you provided doesn't really indicate the specs in a straightforward way.

They indicate a minimum spec of a MacBookPro5,1 which used a 2.4, 2.53, or 2.66 GHz Core 2 Duo processor. That's the same as the base model of the current 13' MBP (even though the model ID of that one is actually MacBookPro7,1, which sounds like it should be a lot better, right? But no, it uses the same CPU). Likewise, you'd think MacBookPro5,5 would be better that MacBookPro5,1 (it's later, right?), but again, no, the MacBookPro5,5 can be as slow as a 2.26 GHz C2D. The recommended machine is a MacBookPro6,1, which is a 2.53 GHz Core i5 (a big step up from the C2D).

The 13' models aren't available with a Core i5 (or i7), so if you want to meet the recommended specs you should go with a 15' MBP (which also delivers much better graphics performance).

I am an architech switching from office to MAC, and i am a light user of AUTOCAD. In AUTOCAD I only use 2d, i dont use any 3d or modeling or rendering in Autocad, i only use simple drawing features of autocad. I dont want to buy a 15 ' because it is much heavier i am carry it around all day (i have a back problem) so i prefer lighter weight but i need it to run smoothly So my 2 choices i think are: 1) AIR: 13' 1.7ghz dual core intel i5, 4gb, intel hd graphics 3000, not sure if 128gb or 256gb hard disk 2) PRO: 13' 2.3 ghz, dual core intel i5, 4gb, intel hd graphics 3000, 320gb Thanks for you help!!
