Can this laptop run AutoCad and Solidworks? null

I bought a laptop last year with the same specs. As one other person answered, a system with 4GB RAM and the N4020 processor indeed barely runs the Start menu. I bought mine specifically to run my favorite distribution of Linux, which it does very efficiently. Despite the Microsoft recommendation of a minimum of 4GB, I feel 16GB is the minimum anyone should consider as a Win 11 system with 16GB RAM, Windows will hog more than 7GB of that RAM with no applications running. With only 4GB RAM, applications and Windows will chew up much of the CPU power and drive I/O just to swap memory to the eMMC memory. If you want an inexpensive laptop to run Linux, this is a good choice, but with Win 11 results will probably be very disappointing for doing even basic tasks like surfing the internet and e-mail.

No it can barely run the start menu
