Electromen

I would call HP, but it doesn't look like your computer can be upgraded to a dedicated video card. LOOK HERE Lack of a dedicated graphics card is the largest problem.

Build your roof first, then building the sloped ceiling using ceiling planes. Set the base of the sloped ceiling at the same height at the top plate of the wall. Experiment, you may need to set the base an inch or 1 1/2" higher. Set the top of the slope at the flat ceiling height

I'm not an Architect, only an electrician. Here in PA, USA., I've seen stairs in garages to the basement with a fire rated door and fire rated walls around the staircase. The door was required at the top and not permitted at the bottom. The door also had a 4" concrete curb under the threshold. The problem is gasoline fumes are heavier than air and will accumulate at the lowest point. An open staircase or non fire rated walls, door and 4" concrete curb would require the electrical at the lower lever to be Class 3, Division 3, Explosion proof. The cost in material is outrageous, one switch is $400. That's not a problem since the building inspector would turn the design down. All I'm saying is a call to the local inspector may be a good idea.

Having an opening in a garage floor may be al fire code violation. I would look into that before you get too far. I know it would be in the USA.

Be aware, that by default, the 16" MacBook Pro uses the on-board Intel video graphics when running on battery. When plugged in, the default is the AMD Radeon Pro video card. These defaults are set to preserve battery life. The defaults can be changed in System Prefences > Battery > Battery > Automatic Graphics Switching

Of course all Windows programs can run on a Mac via Bootcamp, Parallels or VMWare

I spent more time tonight in CA with Big Sur. I don't notice any lag. 3D views all work as fast as before. All of the Libraries and file structure are the same. All the software opens quickly, just like it always did. I use Parallels for Windows 10. Parallels has a Big Sur update and also works normally. I use Davinci Resolve Pro for video editing, it too is compatible. So far, I haven't found any of my software or hardware having a problem. On the Mac Pro, last year I upgraded the SSD and RAM with OWC products. I emailed OWC before I installed Big Sur. They said both upgrades are compatible with Big Sur and they were correct.

I would wait until the 16" MacBook Pro with dedicated video card is offered with the M1

Odd, As you know, shutting down the printer and computer & reboot, usually clears memory problems.

I upgraded to Big Sur on my 2019 16" MacBook Pro and 2013 Mac Pro. No problems so far.

Post a little more detail of you printing steps. Mine are: from Layout > Print to PDF > Save in a Folder named Layout > Print the PDF

No, I don't have Bluebeam

I'm looking forward to hearing about it

The M1 isn't available in the more powerful computers with advanced video cards like the 16" MacBook Pro or Mac Pro. I'll wait until the top of the line has the M1.

I upgraded both the 2019 16" MacBook Pro and 2013 Mac Pro to Big Sur, OS 11. Both upgrades went smoothly and CA work fine. I haven't experienced any negative glitches yet.

I'm on a Mac. It happens to me almost every time I meet with clients. That's when I use a TV to mirror on of my dual monitors. It happens using HDMI, it also happens with wireless AirPlay.

I just bought THIS ONE two weeks ago. It runs X12 very well.

The Only way I print is send it to Layout > Print to PDF > open in PDF software (PDF Perfect on Mac) > Print. The Layout page size matches the Printer paper size.

Here's mine, it's does a very good job. MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) 2.4 GHz *-Core Intel i9 32 GB RAM AMD Radeon Pro 5500M video card 2TB SSD storage One note about the MacBook Pro, it uses the onboard Intel Graphics card when on battery unless you override that in System Preferences. Plugged in, it uses the Radeon Video Card.

Can I do that in a laptop?

Chief has done a good job integrating this new technology. It's just frustrating owning a $4,400 desktop and $3,800 laptop that don't have RTX. I just bought a Dell Alienware laptop for my son, two weeks ago, that has a NVIDIA RTX 2070 video card, so I guess I can use that.

New major features not supported on my Mac Pro and new MacBook Pro are good reasons to not renew SSA.

I bought an ALIENWARE M15 R3 GAMING LAPTOP, on Thursday, The RAM is soldered to the motherboard and is not upgradable. You may want to check that on the one you're looking at.
