Adobe Illustrator Autocad

[Michael641]

Has anyone used Autocad, Adobe Illustrator, or Photoshop on a 13 inch macbook pro (latest 2015 model), if so do you get a decent experience with these programs even with Intel's integrated iris graphics (instead of a dedicated gpu)?

Question from Michael641 : "Intel Iris 6100 Graphics"

Can you run Autocad (and have a decent experience) with Intel's (integrated) iris 6100 graphics? This is the graphics unit in the 13 inch macbook pro (latest 2015 model), I want to know before I buy one. If you can't then can you use it with Intel's Iris Pro graphics unit? I would be using this laptop for design and engineering software (modeling).

Yes, why not? It's a pretty good laptop.

Yes, they work just fine but is not as responsive (of course) as a 15" with a dedicated GPU or other similar solution.

I would describe the 15" as 'snappy', whereas the 13" is just workable.
