autocad per mac o per windows?

[Pilota fulmine]

Hello everyone, I have to buy a new laptop; trying them and trying them again from friends and acquaintances I had already decided for months to buy a macbook pro. I am now on business issues working with autocad and other software for the 3d. I informed myself on the internet and there are those who say that autocad for mac is still acerbo having come out in 2011 and there are those who say that being born for mac and having by now intel processors, the software are equal and work the same way. I would not find myself buying a mac but then having compatibility issues between my and other windows pcs.
turning on the net I even found this table by autodesk http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteid=123112&id=15833488&linkid=15839490I should take a mac and try to see if the version suits me; Is it better to take the same and make us turn on win7 with autocad or should I buy a normal pc leaving my love for mac again?
can you also tell me that real differences while working are between the two versions of autocad? thanks to all

I answer you with a question: autocad for windows already presents by itself sometimes defects. According to you a new autocad rewritten for the mac, to its first version, will turn like that on windows?
It's too much acerbo yet as a program for that platform. and work requires reliability.
without taking into account the minor functions that you would have on the mac platform (as you could already see in the table you have linked).
Perhaps the most believe it is a simple software taken and put on the mac with some small modification.
autodesk maybe worked a couple of years to rewrite it and be able to make it available also for the mac platform.
but what's the point of taking a Mac to turn windows 7?
At that point if you want to spend the same amount of a mac you buy a workstation for windows.

I don't understand mac fashion. ok for those who work in desktop publishing but if you have to use autocad there is just the slightest reason. it seems so much a fashion...tant is that as it rightly says planner, to parity of hardware components, the macbook costs twice as much as a laptop. then go write on facebook that with your salary you do not arrive at the end of the month... :biggrin:

never wrote anything about this and it doesn't even want to be a fashion but a necessity I have for a long time. I don't complain about the crisis that I personally don't feel, I spend and I'm going to spend, and at the end of the month I'm coming more than quietly.

simply the Mac would serve me to program apps for tablets and smartphones and also to produce music for personal entertainment at home. because I broke up with windows that creates problems; I have to format every 6 months because it becomes unmanageable with its processes, its file movements and I would end up with the arrangement as I am doing until now.
so already for a long time I saw the macbook as a valid alternative but unfortunately the work comes first of all so if I should buy a pc that would not satisfy the main objective I did not solve anything.

for this I asked you, certainly more experienced than me, if autocad was acerbo or are just some limited functions (say not basic) but that does not imply a malfunction or problems of any kind.

I thank you very much for the answers, very kind

ps: to respond to planner: is a workstation not too powerful for the use I should do?
win I would have installed it on mac only to make us turn autocad

I don’t know how you use I’m windows...I have a laptop toshiba with x86 view (and I told you everything!!) never formatted since I bought it, and I’m talking about February 2010. It is not a lightning of war but it doesn't even cause me problems and I turn still egregiamente autocad civil 3d 2011 and revit architecture 2011.

eh when you have to deal with a repentum4 of 2004 or 2005 and all'sti updated programs does not hold them; it happens very often that it has problems

Then reformattation is not the fault of windows but of the inadequate hw, then to be honest I don't understand well what is resolved by formatting the machine... .

for your problem, do there not exist emulators of ios or android that turn on windows? Otherwise you take the mac, I think windows turns very well.

because the same computer with ubuntu does not have those problems, sin that linux and derivatives have very little support for my use.
formatting serves to clean up everything (system files etc) and I go ahead 6 months and something before creating problems
emulators exist something but does not turn well on my current machine, it is obvious that I have to change pcs because very old

but the problem was another: autocad on windows and mac have substantial differences? is really acerbo and full of mac problems since it has been on the market for 2 years, is it to prefer the version for windows?

:finger:si!

 

[enri]

Yes, but I would rather have a little less features in autocad, than the problems (objectives, there is nothing to do) of windows.

Since you go ot: over time between one formatting and another with windows, the imac user has changed 5 logical cards and three graphics, as well as 4 hard drives....:biggrin:

but also no! first of all we talk about a pc of 2004 that if ok has on xp home (arcinoto for vulnerability). you will say what you want but I with win7 all have problems you are talking about...personally I think the problem is also due to how it is the machine: if I install regularly cagate or visit unrecommendable sites it is natural that then the pc suffers damage.

ps seems to me that then begin to shoot several viruses even on macos

cable, I'm using win 7, and it's a bowl, you can't leave the notebook (new, with very few sw installed, no pirate) in standby for more than two days, that the mouse goes to snaps....mhaa. I know people who haven't spent the macbook for years, no problem. As I always say, it is a mistake to consider mac as fashion, they are simply high-end products, as they are built, conceived, etc., as all things, if you have the budget choose it, if not you take a pc, which has the same performance, and also superior, but it is not the same thing in all senses, even if there are beautiful. samsung produces various laptops, had, the series 7 chronos, for the simple fact that it is a little thinner, and aluminum (only sheet, no unibody) costs 500 euros more, if they build a laptop like the macbook pro would cost 3000 euros.

But we don't say shit! I have colleagues who leave the pc on for weeks without ever turning it off and nothing you say has ever happened!...and they are developers who slaughter the pc by assembling and disassembling dll and who knows what other computer diavoleria all day! !

 

[enri]

but I don't tell you lies, it's so, leaving the notebook in stanby at night after three times has problems. between the other just these days on my, I do not start xp at the first shot, I have to detach and restart again, without doing anything, but it is the umpteenth, sometimes something happens, and I have been working on pc for a long time. but it has been said several times, who works seriously, is very careful about what it does, or is not connected to the internet, only so has the certainty that it will not have problems, but it is not normal. for this I say, that it is appuraged, the fallacy of the system, and who chooses to change platform and pass to the mac, is not because it is cretin, and the mac is fine with the blouse of sweet and gabbana, it is fashion, and spends double to have the same thing, the question is different, it does it for some very precise reasons, for hardware quality (as it is built, mica only cpu and gpu) and software You're not going to tell me that an automatic ebherard is equal to a quartz swatch, because both give the exact time. :smile::wink:

 

[numero1]

Excuse me but... Is it simply the hw part that is failed? :
I also use a laptop with win7 and... I'm fine.
Hi.

 

[Fulvio Romano]

I hate winzoz. necessary premise.

And yet I do not see that Uncle Bill's systems should be planned twice a year. if accompanied by a good updated antivirus, maybe a firewall, and if you also have an antispyware and antirootkit, the system will span for years with excellent performance.

If yours is not so, it means that it has problems, I don't know if of a software nature, hardware, pobcac or id-ten-t. with the mac all these problems you would not have them, but not because the mac is "superior" as a feeling not describable, but simply because the apple systems bind you hands and feet and you can do exclusively what Uncle steve has approved. even the child walking with the vest is difficult to stumble, fall and get hurt.

for the example of watches... There are rolexes, ebherards and swatch, and all three mark the hour the same way. depends on what you want from a watch, if you want to know the time, the swatch is the product with the best price/performance ratio. the other two serve to prove something to the society that surrounds us. often primary purpose than to correctly mark the time.

Yes, but an ebherard lasts fifty years, a swatch after five years throws it... well, but an ebherard costs more than ten times a swatch, so the second still beats the first.

Anything else?

I don't know, it works well too, only that he doesn't like to stay in stanby for more than three days, for the rest it's okay, but he remains brainlike as a system compared to os x, it's not that they've changed so much, we're very far away. and still next to me I will take a laptop pc, for a series of reasons, including budget definitely. I am not an integralist, only that many of the criticisms are superficial, fashion has nothing to do with it, indeed.
