![]() On this laptop Revit feels quick and snappy on both the small projects and the large. For everyone else, 32GB of RAM and a 6 core i7 can be considered your base line.Īs I mentioned before, to me it's all about feel. If you are building models larger than 21 story hospital buildings then you are in a smaller group of folks who may need to max the heck out of your hardware. With an i7 and 32GB of RAM you can pretty much handle anything. Literally, from a 100 square foot yoga studio to a 21 story hospital building. When it comes to Revit usage, I will be modeling, navigating, and running Dynamo scripts in models that are wide ranging in sizes. but some projects are not worth upgrading, I promise). But, occasionally I am working on an old project in 2016, 2017, or 2018 (yeah, I know. Usually, I will be in 2019 or 2020 these days. With that being said, let's talk about how I use my laptop.įirst, obviously, I use Autodesk Revit. Why do I define performance that way? Because the truth of the matter is we all use are PCs just a bit differently. Performance, to me, is all about how a PC feels when you use it to get your work done. 1TB Samsung 860 EVO M.2 (Storage Drive) CORSAIR VENGEANCE 32GB 2400MHz (2X16GB) NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 8GB GDDR6 Max-Q Intel Core i7 9750H 6-Core 2.6GHz (4.50GHz TurboBoost) Also, the customer support has been great. The amount of customization options and reasonable pricing of Origin's are the closest thing I have experienced to building my own custom gaming desktops. As someone who has built custom desktops my entire life I had been dying to find a similar experience in laptops. I was introduced to Origin PC by a colleague a few years back. and used it hard.Īdditionally, when it comes to laptops, I believe the perfect laptop will balance performance, portability, and price. And I would never review a laptop here on the blog unless I actually used it. I don't care what a benchmark tells me, I want to test out a machine on a few projects doing heavy, real-world, work. ![]() Yes, I know these things matter and I am just as much a computer nerd as you are.īut, I always judge a laptop by real-world day-to-day usage. I know there will be plenty of you who will talk about benchmarking, passmark scores, chipsets, and gigahertz. )).Īt least once a week I get an email, comment, or message that goes something like this, "Jeff, what laptop do you recommend for Revit".Īfter 12+ years of "Revit-ing" and using countless laptops I think I finally found one that I am willing ad confident in enough to share with you all.Ĭontinue reading to learn about the laptop I use, and why, for Revit (and adjacent software).įirst, let's talk about how I evaluate a solid "Revit laptop". (Maybe my skin has thickened up after 11 years of blogging and YouTube comments. ![]() I also know how fast computer hardware changes and updates.īut, I have decided it's time. Why? Because I know there are going to be lots and lots of opinions about it. ![]() If I am being honest, this is a post that I have been avoiding for many years. ![]()
