    I'm running chief on a surface pro 4 i5 with integrated graphics only. It runs just fine. Some of the bigger models (7000sf 2 story) get a bit slow though. 

    What version of chief are you running?

    I have no problems running CA on my HP Spectra 360, it has the I5 7500U with HD 620 integrated graphics. Yes, Ray Traces are slower than my main system due to half the cores and lower CPU GHz. If you get a new laptop with a Thunder Bolt USB port then you can always add an external dedicated graphics amplifier if need be.

    Is this the model you are using? I will be working with x6 premier.http://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-envy-x360-2-in-1-15-6-touch-screen-laptop-intel-core-i5-12gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive-silver/5617203.p?skuId=5617203

  3. Yeah as long as I can get basic 3d elevations. Should be fine.  I'm not doing this as a primary business anyway. It runs fine on my wife's hp envy that's 4 years old.  It only has 8gb of ram and I'm not sure on the video card. As for the touch screen I doubt I would ever use it either

    Looked at this one myself as a road machine. Price is good but the dual core processor and only 2GB of dedicated graphics card memory might be a bummer for those who do  more raytraces. I don't think the touchscreen will benefit CA from what I have read.

     

  4. Yeah I won't be doing huge 3d renderings and ray traces. I WILL probably do normal elevations and maybe just some basic interior images. 

     

    I found this one at walmart.  I think it may work for me.  What do you think?

  5. I'm new to chief and not really sure what pc specs are.  Im a carpenter entering into chief architect.  I'm using x6 now and I need to get it onto a laptop so I can make changes with clients.  Will this laptop run x6 pro?
