Something to consider for portability I usually stream my desktop to a cheep laptop (and phone as a additional safety net) so if I need to be somewhere or meet with a client I can still access the programs and the powerful hardware in my desktop along with the piece of mind that if I loose the laptop I still have all my files and a way to work on my projects with easy upgrade paths in the future and not having to dish out hundreds if not thousands if I lose my laptop I can just buy another cheep one same day even especially if I'm far away from home or in another country and just continue working with out hiccups
Obviously this isn't for everyone but definitely something to consider if you have the ability to do this
Cool idea!
How you do that? Sorry new to this stuff and that concept intrigues me.
@@dualityofmorons there's plenty of ways and they all have their ups and downs and I don't have enough time to explain all of them but typing "remote desktop" or "how to access one PC with another PC" will get you started down that rabbit hole
I'll explain the simplest way to do it which is with a remote desktop or a desktop forwarding service I use Google Remote Desktop because it gives me the least lag even on the other side of the planet as long as I have a stable high-speed internet connection and the nice experience of not constantly having to troubleshoot problems but your milage may vary
This method requires you to keep the PC you are trying to access permanently on (not recommend for obvious reasons) or on sleep mode with the setting changed so that it will wake up when you open the program on your other device (recommend) plenty of tutorials for this online and you can find one specifically for whatever software you choose to use with this method obviously if you have someone who always has access to your PC you can have them turn on and off the computer to by pass this
@@haveabloodydeath awesome I’ll look into it. Thank you for the info, I’ll look up the ways to do it and see what works best for me. Thank you again!
For sure. Using a remote connection is the best.
I have used even a 2GB ram chromebook to tunnel into a machine at home and did some 3D work as well as messing around in VS Code.
Since I had a good connection speed was enough for frame rate to be ok as long as I didn't forget that I wasn't on a work station and tried to whip the model around too fast and skip past what I wanted to see.
For those interested, I just used a Chrome browser (obviously as I was on a chrome book) and used their remote desktop tool. Set it up on both machines and it works great!
Of course I would also get a VPN if you are remoting in from a public place like a Starbucks. Keep all your transmitting encrypted.
Nice thing about the Chrome Remote Desktop tool is that it survives reboots / power cycles so even if your machine at home reboots for some reason, you can still tunnel into it and you will see whatever your login screen at home would be.

Thx for the explanation! 👍
thank you so much for this. im sure there's been alot of people wondering and very curious to know including myself as a 3D artist. thank you so much for the time and effort its very insightful.
Thank god….a video that cuts the fluff and gets to the point!! From someone very new to CAD programs and 3D printing…..THANK YOU SO MUCH. You answered all my question and I didn’t have to watch a 30min video what go “wait what?” At the end lol.
Turns out to basically be an ad?... Is there a reason you didn't include "Dell Precision 7750" in the headline?
Is there a mini PC that you would recommend for Fusion 360?
I used to buy apple. Now I need a windows computer for solidworks here in college. It's crazy, how none of the apple owners know what to buy or how to make that decision. You simply trusted apple.
Never waste money on a laptop unless you really need one.
That’s because you don’t know what you’re buying. These specs are pathetic to what most gaming laptops are set to. With the specs he mentioned you could get a lap top to do all this for $750
Pretty ignorant commentz
@@mnazas2299 Nah laptops are really bad most of the time for price and Power. Desktop is Just better at all thibgs except portability. Srry Bad english
I've got a laptop simply because it looks silly riding around with a tower pc and my 30" monitor.
I'm not sure how this video showed up in my feed. Since switching to Onshape, hardware selection is simply something you never have to worry about every again.
So you basically just pointed out what Autodesk and Dell suggest on their sites and Dell gives you a laptop for all that hard work? Brilliant.
Good overview of components and considerations. Thank you 👍😎🇦🇺
Thanks. Glad it helped!
i am looking for a cheap windows to run pepakura🤔,please help me find one👍🏻
I need a computer that can run revit and cad smoothly. up to 20k sqft of linework,modeling. a computer that doesnt take long to open a file and plot a drawing to pdf
Great video quick question for you. I draw cad on the go and in my office, when I work in my office would it be possible to screen mirror to my monitor so I can work using my monitor screen in the office and use the laptop while on the go? Like a multi use dead
Deal
Core i5-11600KF and RX6700XT?
People a cheap gaming laptop can do all this for like $600-700 n if you spend $1000 you could get a 3060gpu with a intel i7 cpu
though i wonder how a geforce and quadro would run in an environment full of hundreds of assemblies in fusion or solid works. like parts in assemblies. how well would each card perform cuz i think thats where youll see the difference between the two?
Geforce cards work pretty nice for SolidWorks but a quadro is best. However, for most...the vast majority of users, Quadro quickly drops in cost to payout ratio. Even 14 years ago I could run a pretty decent sized assembly with 100ish parts without issues. Well, if someone thinks they need 60 FPS for everything and one gets elitist about it then spend thousands of dollars on that high end Quadro, but a $500 gaming card is more than enough especially today.
RAM, hard drive speed, and CPU clock speed will be your biggest bangs for the buck. I'll take 20 FPS on a large assembly with fast load and save times over a high-end card that gives me 50 FPS on the same model but I ran out of money for a screaming storage setup and only a modest amount of ok ram. Nothing will chap your ass in the long run than watching an hour glass while a large assembly loads. A high-end quadro card can be way more than an entire system that would run Solid Works pretty well.
Fusion - no idea.
Rhino runs well with any gaming card as does Moi, Space Claim, Alibre, and AutoCAD (all from my experience).
Interesting, I'm looking at civil CAD software, and Carlson Civil suite working on top of Intellicad or Autocad. They say not to use Quadro cards and recomend RTX series cards.
Thanks, very direct, and insightful.... w/o all the BS....
What if i have integrated graphics only ? Does solidworks and simulation run ?
Great question. I have run Solidworks without a dedicated card but it started to crash often when I needed to open larger assemblies or complex parts.
Hello author, how do u think is it good or not to use 34” ultra wide curved monitor for CAD?
I have experience of using 2x24” flat monitor at job, think curved 34uw can be better, how do You think?(I can’t try it so I need to ask before take it)
I have a friend using a large curved monitor for Fusion 360 and loves it.
@@TylerBeckofTECHESPRESSO I buy him, and I love it too
I sure hope a i9 12900k and 3080 is enough to model a phone case 😁
People thumbdown anything . Good job on the video
Thank you
The video wasn't very informative to be honest it seemed more to be an add for dell more than anything.
Nice free laptop though, what make was it again.....
@@davewilliams1466 well atleast that's constructive criticism.
Can I run autocad in
Lenovo G500
8gb ram
i5 3rd gen
CPU 2.5 GHz

You can run CAD on almost any computer. I've done it on a $400 I3 laptop. It is a question of how much latency and how many lockups you are willing to put up with.
You can easily install Autocad LT 2024 & Revit LT 2024 and work smoothly on intel i3 3rd generation processor. I have tested it on my Dell Laptop and 100% working. My Laptop specification is given below:-
Processor - i3 3227U @ 1.90 GHz.
RAM - 8 gb DDR3 @ 1600 MHz.
SSD - 500gb SATA, speed of 540 MB/s Read and 500 MB/s Write.
Integrated Graphics Card - Intel (R) HD Graphics 4000, 1792 MB VRAM.
When I worked on Revit LT 2024, The CPU was working it's maximum base clock speed of 1.89 GHz and usage was around 26% only.
sir can i use ryzen 5 5600g/r7 5700g for autcoad (without gpu)? thanks.
Yes, you will be perfectly fine!! 5600g is for graphics and ryzen integrated graphics are pretty power full. Autocad isn't a really demanding software so don't worry!
I'm using 5800H with abaqus FE and it's okay there some limitations but overall it's doing fine but if you looking for something deeper in terms of let say meshing on large then you probably need a desktop
My ram is 16GB
As far as I experienced quaddros gpu don't really benift with Fusion-360. Gaming cards are having better DIRECTX 11 performance. Fusion DOES NOT USE CUDA CORES
I thought i remember someone from the fusion team mentioning on the forums that processors are what matters for fusion 360. It doesn't take advantage of GPUs.
Note, if you use Solidworks, the better GPU you get, the better off you are.
Great point! As I understand it, Fusion and Inventor take advantage Directx 11 making a gaming card a great buy but a Quadro will still work....but probably overspending for something you may not need. . Solidworks typically benefits from the Quadro with it's certified drivers.
Hey comment section, im cad technician but I'm also a gamer. I want to build a pc that can handle cad projects (Solidworks/ Inventor) as well as gaming for £1000 but i have absolutely no idea what i am doing. Does anyone have any info to point me in right direction? Anythung would be appreciated ❤
My Alienware R13 (not that I recommend that OEM) runs a RTX 3060, I7-12700F and 32G RAM. It runs Inventor 2023 great. To cut the price, maybe go with a 13th gen I5, since single core is (almost) everything. The 3060TI benchmarks better for gaming, but I like the comfort of the extra VRAM.
good
Welcome sir from india
Hey!
@@TylerBeckofTECHESPRESSO yes sir
This computer best around the world
I hoped for something in depth but instead got a guide for explaining this to my 70yo mother :/
My iMac i9 64GB, 2TB SSD, works great w F360.
my custom pc beats your mac for 1/3 the price...

just saying, apple as a company hates their users.
break the illusion of brand quality.
@@janzugic6798 help me buy the best pc which runs autocad and maya smoothly
...Why a laptop lmao
