Autocad for Mac is different supposedly. I havent tried it but people I know say its a crippled version

Also I have no idea how the M1 macs perform with autocad since it might not be optimized yet

yung end user mas preferred nya ang bago! i think this is it... pasok na sa minimum requirements ng autocad.

Windows and autocad start up will eat all that 8gb ram. You should bave a minimum of 16gb ram and 2gb dedicated graphics card memory. Ideal graphics are nvidia quaddro series, it will still run in gaming graphic cards but you will notice the flickers and the vector lines will appear not straight.

Would the used X1 Carbon better than a new Macbook Air? ...

Would get a Macbook Air over X1C or any Windows laptop, as long as the programs I need can run on Mac.

Within Windows laptops, my top pick would always be an X1C, but overall I prefer Macs so my personal laptop is a Macbook Pro.

Been a MacBook Pro user for over a decade and I love the quality of previous MacBook Pro laptops prior to the butterfly keyboard mess.

Given the recent degradation of MacOS, I would favor Dell laptop over the Macs. Unless you're an uber power user who absolutely need that M1 chip processing power (which most users don't really need), the upcoming next gen Intel chip or the current Ryzen chips would be enough for most computing needs. With a non-Mac laptop, I have the freedom to use whatever OS I want.

A co-worker just upgraded his MacBook Pro to the latest MacOS Monterey. His laptop got bricked. Yikes

Heard of bricked MacBooks so I waited until they fixed it. Too busy right now to do benchmarks and check performance so I'll probably have to just trust that this upgrade's worth it.

M1 powered apple laptops are good. they don't need the extra memory and their displays are already good.

if you're going the windows route, i'd wait for the zen3+ laptops AMD Announces Ryzen 6 Mobile CPUs for Laptops: Zen3+ on 6nm with RDNA2 Graphics
