advice for purchase pc for autocad 2016 for school use

[rinato]

Hello, excuse the "intrusion" in a room that I usually do not attend, but I would like to ask you that pc size serves for a student* of the "3°geometri" who has entrusted a copy of autocad2016 (I presume "educational" or similar since it comes from school ). I have no idea how many "modules" are enabled, let's say that sophistication is not there, maybe even the smart things, so much they have to get their bones.
In short, how big it must be today a pc for students that must last at least 3-5 years, especially with autocad installed non castrante?
and it is reasonable a budget up to 1000€, maybe notebooks for logistic limits, or is it mistaken for defect?

* the student is the son of an acquaintance who knows less than me of pc etc. etc. (I hope you don't read me)

Thanks for the help, reborn.

autocad 2016 has no additional modules. It's all understood.
the hardware on which it turns satisfactorily is not exous at all.
to understand, I put on a machine to my son, a quad-core with 8gb ram, a bit dated gaming card (hd4770) and smooth row without problems.
a machine like that, a minitower used, they're behind you for 150 euros.
If you look at longevity I would say at least one i5 with 8-12gb of ram and always gaming card (autocad uses almost nothing opengl). also as a new notebook (more expensive than a fixed device), I would say that on arm you should not exceed 500 euros.
with 1000 take a lady machine, maybe even with ssd.

the version " educational "must be required to autodesk with a supporting document of the institution attended by the student, not to follow this path is equivalent to the use of a logging license.
the " educational" license generates marked files, unusable outside the school environment.

Thank you, too kind, given celerity.

I don't think that's a problem, thank you for the information.

hi, autocad doesn't have big hardware demands if you use it in school I think rendering or heavy drawings won't. first autocad does not go to "modules" like other programs but simply to versions: full, lt (and for both there is the type of student license).
If you already have a pc at home for the last 4/5 years, you don't need a specific or superpowered cad should work. the speech changes if you have to buy a new one, then it would be useful to know for what you use it besides the cad, budget spending, if you want a laptop, or a desktop etc...

to stay within 1000€ the following desktop could be a good solution for use cad, office and also basic gaming:
- cpu: amd ryzen 1500
- motherboard: asus b350-plus
- ram: 2x8gb
- video card: nvidia gtx 1050 ti
- disk for s/o: crucial mx300 120gb
- operating system: windows 10

if you are able to mount your pc you could also consider assembling it and saving us something else on various online shop you find pc preassembled with good prices.

thanks for the detailed specifications.
I know they have at home a fixed pc of at least 4 years, which with autocad installed does not make it right, so it must have been an entry level, good for word and mail.
a laptop I put it between the options because the apartment is what it is, so the boy's room will not be ready to house a huge tower and a 19" (though they would be the least mayor ); In addition, I presume, with a laptop for the next few years should not have trouble doing teaching activities "in transfert" (but they are out of that way from a life and powers even say baggianate).
I will report however as indicated.
Greetings, reborn.

p.s. just for my personal curiosity: autocad requires office for some reason (e.g. the fonts...? because I watched something online and usually there is a 30gg version of office and antivirus. If you could avoid the office, at least on the first lap, I think they'd like to. and between the requirements nothing is indicated in this regard.

autocad has everything you need, no other programs.

All right, all right, thank you very much.

but only to me, that I have the version for students, the files that mold or carry out with autocad do not have any type of marking?

What's the point?
