Hey everyone, I know AutoCAD isn't Mac compatible, but my school has engineering software that's basically the same thing but for Mac. My question is if I get a 13" MBP with the Geforce9400 or whatever the graphics card is, will that handle the mild demands of the software? I don't want to have to drop 2000 dollars for a 15" with the more advanced graphics card if I don't need to.

Help?!

It should handle that software, but without knowing the specific program you're referring to, it's hard to say for sure.
