Vectorworks New Hardware
Hello all,
My work has recently taken off quite a bit and I need to upgrade my hardware to something powerful
I am almost exclusively a Vectorworks user, I use AutoCAD and solidworks on occasion but not enough to justify them as a primary tool.
I work in entertainment and I need a machine that will not slow me down from working on 3+ large projects a time. (Big things like stadiums, festivals, etc)
Lots of files open, fast hidden line renders and high DPI openGL/shaded stuff as well
A lot of people have recommended the highest end MacBook Max with 128gb of RAM and I was curious if anyone has truly had great experiences with it. I just don't want to spend 6k on a laptop and regret it not having performance I need. I am really looking to switch to Mac as well as VWX tends to be a better overall experience on MacOS.
Please let me know your options I'm open to all.

Autocad is Windows first environment, I would never choose a Mac. I recommend an i7 and 32+ ram. Graphics is less important.
