One of the most frequently asked questions I get, as well as one of the most common questions I see asked online, is what computer to buy to run Fusion 360. Due to Covid travel restrictions limiting on-site training, I don’t currently have plans to upgrade the training laptops at this time. In addition to the iMac and MacBook Pro, I also use Lenovo IdeaPad laptops as training computers. Most likely as soon as Apple releases the new Pro M1 iMacs, I will order one of those for my home office. I’m more than overdue to upgrade both computers. I’ll list the specs of those machines below. Still nothing to do for Revit and Maya – least of all 3DS Max which continues to remain exclusive to Windows.I currently use an Apple iMac that I purchased in 2012, as well as an Apple MacBook Pro purchased in 2015. Autodesk has already confirmed that it is also working on the native Apple Silicon version of Fusion 360, which could arrive as early as this summer. Of course it is a figure that can vary from one device and one software environment to another, but let’s say that the order of magnitude should be roughly that. The company specifies, just to avoid misunderstandings, that they are compatible both M1 and M2 chips – and, let’s assume with a reasonable level of certainty, future series as well, net of sensational twists.Īccording to Autodesk, overall performance of AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT 2024 on Apple Silicon is doubled compared to 2023 (which of course runs in x86 compatibility mode via Rosetta 2).
Important news for professionals who have switched or are considering switching to Apple Silicon: Autodesk has announced the new ones 2024 versions of AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT, and will finally natively support Apple’s ARM-based chips.
