mbnvhn asked: hi Ben! I was at another tumblr and saw your comment about using a macbook for architect school. I had an hp dv6 that just got stolen so now i am trying to figure out which laptop should i buy. I saw you were running Autocad and Revit on a windows 8 right? But i thought they didn't support that operating system? Can you give me some orientation please? Thank you! :D
