[QUOTE="BrianLachoreVPI, post: 1324460, member: 193366"] The MBP should have no issues running those - but since you'll probably have to run auto cad in Windows (probably virtualized) you'll want to increase the RAM to 8GB. Just do that yourself - don't order it from Apple - you'll save a lot of money. I'm a firm believer in 7200rpm drives over 5400rpm and I think especially in your case where you'll be manipulating some very large files on a regular basis. Without doubt I'd go for the 7200rpm drive. [/QUOTE]
