M1 Macbook Air for Architect | ArchiCAD, AutoCAD, SketchUp

I tested Architecture softwares on M1 Macbook Air, checking CPU temperatures and RAM usage. Do they work fine on Apple M1 chip? Check it out!

Macbook Air Model : Apple MacBook Air (M1, Late 2020), base model(7 Core GPU, 8GB RAM)

This base M1 Macbook Air model is an absolute beast...! What do you think?

This is super helpful, thanks so much! I'm looking to upgrade my ancient 2012 Macbook Pro to run AutoCAD and SketchUp for small scale residential interior design projects and was torn between the 8 and 16GB versions. This has assured me that I'll be absolutely fine with the 8GB. Thank you!

Thanks for the video because I am planning to buy M1 Mac for stock trading, autocad drawing and sometimes gaming. It is worth if I will wait for 32" iMac?

[AdhithepLeewananthawet]

Thank you so much. It’s a usefulness for decision with M1.
And could you test older version of Autocad and Sketchup, its ok with your macbook air m1?

Hello there, I am an architecture student and am looking for a laptop to run cad, revit, sketch up, rhino, etc. Will a m1 mac with 16 gn run good? Or should I get a gaming laptop?

[madhuridugar]

For autocad(interior designers) which macbook do you suggest ? I am planning to buy a 13 inch macbook pro but what other features should i keep in mind before buying one. Please suggest.

[linaamiri]

Can you please do some rendering stuff on it to see the quality??

Thanks for your great video. I'm a sales manager in a Precision machinery company. I don't need to draw the 2D Autocad everyday. For my job, I have to open the dwg files / PPT and discuss the drawing with my customer only. On my free time, I will use the Netflix, YouTube and few Photoshop. Do you think M1 air 512+16g is a good choice be my first laptop?
