Hello all, has anyone used AutoCAD 2016 or Revit on a new Dell XPS 13. They come with Intel HD integrated graphics card and I'm not sure if they will perform on it. 

This would not be a laptop for full-time use. Just occasional use in meetings and such.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Are you looking at the i5 or i7?  How much RAM will the computer have?

The problem with integrated graphics chips is at some point they become overtaxed and being unable to do what is expected the system will now start to steal resources (i.e. - memory) from other functions to try to address the problem which in turn will start to slow the computer down to the point where working on a complex (large) drawing becomes frustrating.

If you are going to do some serious CAD work I'd spend the extra $$$ or Euros and get a more robust computer with a dedicated graphics card (2-4MB of onboard vidRAM).
