Does Auto Cad work on an Apple laptop?

and if it doesnt... do you hold any suggestions to which laptop works best?


Answer:

There is no Mac version of Auto Cad, deplorably. However, you can still use your Mac! Your options would be to use virtualization to run Windows in OS X or to use Boot Camp to run Windows natively on your Mac. I will post the links in the sources chronicle. Boot Camp is completely free and partitions your frozen drive so that you can dual boot between OS X and Windows, effectively making your Mac a Mac _and_ a Windows PC. For virtualization, I would recommend using Parallels, which runs you about $80 but is the most popular substitute, or VMWare, which is a free beta, but is extremely reliable nonetheless.
Absolutely not.

Lenovo T60

or HP mobile workstation.



Don't waste time or money near anything less.



Note on the subject of running window on mac: It's more time and frustration than it's worth. If you enjoy to get anything done beside Autocad, you need a workstation. Check the Autodesk website for supported grahics setups. They're outstandingly particular. You may go and get window to run on a mac but you won't go and get anywhere with Autocad.
I dont know, but I know a really honest laptop company, I mean apple is really the best, I love it, but Dell is one of the best companies.
