Should I upgrade my laptop or purchase a new one? It needs to run Revit 2022.
I need to test Revit 2022 and check if I mostly meet the minimum specs (https://knowledge.autodesk.com/supp...re...ducts.html).
My laptop is a Dell XPS 15 Infinity (9570) Core i5 8GB 256GB SSD 15.6", I5-8300H 2.3 GHz, 8 GB RAM at 2,666 MHz and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 4 GB.
Should I upgrade or just buy a new one? From past experiences I’ve seen minimum requirements often don’t work well. Can I possibly upgrade the RAM and CPU and if so, what else should I consider? Thanks for your help.
The real need for these software types really hinges on the models you commonly use. That gives a very different response from person to person.
Using Revit on your current laptop seems sufficient. If it functions well, that's all that matters. If not, return and we'll explore options—like upgrading RAM being the only feasible improvement.
Beyond the minimal installation time, it's a free trial (likely a 30-day period). The license remains yours. You're limited to one-user licenses per machine at a time, but switching laptops won't affect your rights.
