MBP Running AutoCAD

    Guys,

    Having been a Windows Laptop user for my whole life, but iOS for phone and home surfing, I am considering a MBP as a replacement to my 2010 Dell Inspiron 1545.

    My main use of the machine is AutoCAD 2017. And I've noticed my current laptop lag since updating to Windows 10 and AutoCAD 17. It struggle switch the 4gb RAM and possibly suffers from lack of graphics card is what I've been told.

    I don't have the funds for brand new so have been looking at 2015/2016 MBP 15" but also considering the Mid 2012 models and upgrading the RAM and swapping to SSD which I would be comfortable doing myself.

    Just wondering if I am mad considering a MacBook for AutoCAD use?
    Secondary use would be photoshop but I would put the ratio at 90/10.

    Thanks.
