Would this computer for running a program such as Archicad 18, a BIM architecture specific program with built-in rendering software.

can't speak specifically to archicad but I've used Revit, Navisworks, AutoCAD on the laptop and never had any issues. The dual video card is nice. Also plays skyrim really well. Overall the best laptop I've owned (previously owned a dell and gateway). Highly recommend this laptop.

Yes, it requires a graphics card. Note the first image on the product page that says "Requires discrete GPU."

Yes. This machine requires a half height card and has slots for a video card.

Yes it can. It has more than enough ram and processors to run those with background apps and other programs. I usually have League, Balttlefield, and The Sims 3 running at the same time with no lag

Well any computer can run anything if you upgrade it enough. So basically with those upgrades you're simply asking if the stock NVIDIA GPU that it comes with can handle it, and I'd say probably yes. But it may be more economical to find a tower that has a better CPU and power supply and invest in a top of the line graphics card for it.

I am running OpenBSD, so I can't say if windows runs on it. This device does not have blinding speed, so that might effect AutoCAD presuming that windows runs.

Probably not. It works great as desktop work for up to four screens, but processing calculations and heavy rendering it lacks

Not sure, but I use it with Photoshop and Solidworks, fast nice detailed graphics.

It does have a video card, a 256MB DMS-59 Card with dual monitor capability. It should be able to run the program. Best, iCompNY

This computer is built for media and graphics. It should run photoshop with no problems.

Sure it can run windows 7 or windows 8, but I can't recommend it for AutoCAD, the GPU (Graphic processing unit) is not powerful enough, so you will be cursing the whole day because it is somehow slow. Usually *CAD users like big screens and sometimes dual screen, I would recommend you to purchase a computer that have NVIDIA or ATI GPUs, 2 big screens and use extended desktop, you will have plenty of screen space and resolution to work comfortable. Also the system comes with a single bar or 2GB or RAM, you may upgrade it to 8GB but still the processing power is not what you're looking for.

It should not have a problem running Windows 7 or 8. You would have to check the system requirements for Autocad to see if it is capable of running that. I wouldn't recommend this for any CAD applications though as it is not a powerhouse, but even still it may be possible.

Sincerely I don't use that kind of programs but I don't see any reason why I shouldn't! With the included Graphics adapter and processor speed it will work fine
28593
Yes. That is what I have and it runs just fine. A good video card is a plus.

I use it for 3D animation, consuming cpu and memory,certainly for that program so you could use without problems.and has reader / writer cd and dvd .Do not think there's a program that does not run on this computer , it is really good . ( excuse my bad English )

should run with relative ease. the four cores includes hyperthreading but it should still be plenty enough cpu power

what about small architecture / interior design business that run 2d and 3d cad modeling software? Will this server able to handle it?
