Plus with a resolution of 2,560 x 1600, you get the high level of detail you need when working with sophisticated 3D models. This WQXGA IPS display is both big and beautiful, with vivid and nuanced colours and deep, rich blacks. But maybe you want to see your CAD designs on a bigger display, allowing you to focus better on all the small details? In which case, let us point you towards the LG Gram 17, with its 17-inch screen.

The laptops we’ve featured so far have all had mid-sized screens. Read our Honor Magicbook 16 review for more information. Honor is a Chinese company, and that means that its products can sometimes be difficult to buy in the US, so if you're based there you may need to shop around. It runs Windows 11, and comes with enough performance that you can run your favorite CAD applications, though there's no dedicated graphics card, so more complex designs may put a bit too much stress on this laptop.īattery life isn't great, either, so you'll probably want to make sure you carry its charger with you.

It's also one of the best looking laptops you can get for this low price, offering a design that will remind you of a MacBook - but without that high price tag. Boasting some great specs thanks to AMD, and a large 16.1-inch screen with a high refresh rate, this is ideal for engineering and architecture students who want something to work on. The Honor MagicBook 16 proves that you don't have to spend a fortune to get a great laptop for CAD.

See our MacBook Pro 14-inch review for more details. But if you’re looking for a premium Apple laptop and are willing to pay the price, you won’t find better. This laptop is very much the Rolls Royce option of MacBooks, and may be overkill for a lot of people’s needs. You’ll also benefit from the most beautiful, super-high res screen, and up to a whopping 8TB of storage. You’ll doubtless get less than that doing intense work in AutoCAD, but it’s a surety that you’ll get through a professional day without having to recharge. The MacBook Pro also offers up to 17 hours of battery life: the longest of any Mac ever. Note also that you can run iOS here as well, so you can open up the AutoCAD mobile app if that helps your workflow.

In our review, we found that it was more than capable of running both AutoCAD and resource-hungry 3D modelling software like Maya, 3DS Max, and Fusion 360 with ease. Running macOS Big Sur on Apple’s proprietary eight-core M1 Pro or Max chip, with up to 64GB RAM, this is the most powerful laptop Apple has ever created. The MacBook Pro 14-inch (2021) is a brilliant laptop for CAD, and easily the best one you can buy right now.
