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. The thing is that the PC case is quite close to my SB20, like 1,5m or so.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. I’m trying to solve this right now, don’t know if this new PC has a bad BT antenna or what, so maybe I should buy an Ant+ dongle. However, not everything is perfect yet, as it’s having now some BT connectivity issues, dropping connection sporadically, which never happened using my tablet. Zwiftalizer shows I’m getting ultra detail at 1440p resolution (native display resolution) at quite high fps (some rides just 70fps average and some around 130fps avg., it seems that it depends on how crowded is zwatopia), awesome!! Moreover, following Dave’s advice, the monitor is an adaptive sync display and its image is really fluid and smooth without any flickering. But the best part is that doing some DIY tasks I managed to install a 27 inch" monitor using Stages SB20 tablet holder (looks similar to Peloton+ now ), it is robust enough and the result is great. I’ve managed to hide a PC case under an armchair, it’s got an intel i5, 8GB RAM, SSD and a GTX1660Super. Hi, again!, I already have my new system.
