Sam, speed issues aside, doing CAD work with any CAD program on ANY laptop will get old real fast. Been there, done that, and it's no fun. Picking elements in a drawing which you wish to edit or otherwise modify requires much better pointing precision than clicking links on a webpage. The combination of a small screen and a typical laptop pointing device will leave you frustrated or blind......or both. When I finally upgraded my desktop and put the CAD on it, the first habit I had to break myself of was zooming continuously for everything I started to do. That habit came from trying to draw on a screen that was too small for too long. I'd say offhand the switch from laptop to desktop allows me to finish a drawing in 2/3 the former time required, and I don't have a headache from eyestrain when its done. |
