UNSOLVED
Laptop
Dear Community,
I am looking for a 13" laptop for light AutoCAD drafting and light Revit modeiling, and the laptop should be able to support 2 monitors. Currently I am using two 23" Apple Cinema HD monitors with 1920 X1200 resolution.
Reason for a small screen is that I can take my work to present to client but work at the office with 2 monitors
I am considering Dell XPS 13-9000 series but welcome any recommendation.
Regards
ArchLA

Running AutoCAD on Intel integrated graphics -- and driving two monitors -- you'll need a sense of humor for performance (or extreme patience). You should verify that what you want to run will work with the Intel GPU.
There aren't going to be many choices in this size system with nVidia or AMD graphics -- you should look one size UP from 13" to a 14" that has a dedicated GPU. Otherwise, be prepared for less than stellar performance.
If you really must have a 13" system, consider using it as a client for your desktop system - connect remotely and run AutoCAD that way. You won't be doing much with it on an XPS 13.
