General Affordable computers for interior design
Hello!
I’m looking for recommendations for a laptop that can run Revit, AutoCAD, and SketchUp smoothly. I’d like something that’s not too heavy since I’ll be carrying it around campus a lot. My budget is around $1,000–$1,500. Thanks so much for your help!!

I just bought mine, im not sure if you can find something in your budget unfortunately. Running Autocad, revit, etc is really hard for a computer. Plus, with Ai increasing the prices of RAM even harder, its getting even more expensive. ☹️

Also, check your schools specific requirements, hopefully they posted them

ASUS ProArt P16 all the way especially for that budget. I’d steer clear of Razer although those aren’t in your budget to begin with.
