Student PC or Laptop to buy for a budget


Recommended Posts

As a student you will probably rather need a laptop. The most important thing about a computer for Vectorworks is that it has a dedicated graphics card. Without one, Vectorworks will only work very limited, if at all.

 

With a device that meets these criteria, you will be able to work with Vectorworks very well:

  • dedicated graphics card with about 4GB of VRAM
  • 16 GB RAM
  • Processor with as many cores as you can afford 😄

On the Apple side, only a Macbook Pro meets the requirements. It's expensive, but it's worth the money.

 

On the Windows side, I would look for gaming laptops. You don't need workstation hardware like Xeon processors or Quadro graphics cards. Very interesting at the moment are the laptops with Ryzen processors that are just appearing.

 

If you have a selection of devices, please check back here so that you can be sure to purchase the most suitable one.
