A:Answer I'm sure you could put CAD on it, but I would not recommend putting it on any laptop honestly. The software destroys laptops and their battery life. This laptop does meet the required specs, but the graphics card is entry level, and the battery life is already pretty average, so AutoCAD would completely ruin the battery. So, technically yes, but I would always try to run AutoCAD/Civil 3D on a desktop if you can help it.
