[QUOTE="martyp, post: 1630059, member: 61183"] I run AutoCAD LT 2015 (for Mac) and the full Adobe CC suite along with other graphic/photography apps. The GT750M w/2Gb VRAM isn't actually all that great. It worked fine on my old 30" Dell monitor (2560x1560px) but on a 4K monitor it is a complete dog. I can't run iTunes in the background and open 12 4MP photos in Ps without it stopping the music and refusing to replay it. Only apps open being iTunes and Photoshop with no significant CPU or RAM usage the graphics card is the issue. My specs are: i7 2.3GHz quad, 16GB RAM, 512Gb PCIe SSD, 750GTm 2Gb and IrisPro (disabled), running an external monitor only. I'd actually recommend an HP zBook 15 over the MBP and I wish I went that way as it has a lot more grunt. Downside is its a Windows/Linux machine but most apps you've listed are optimised for Windows anyway - specifically AutoCAD. EDIT: The zBook also has a workstation class GPU which is certified by Autodesk and Adobe unlike the lower end consumer GPU in the MBP. [/QUOTE]
