Fusion 360, like other CAD applications, relies primarily on the CPU. Therefore you need a powerful processor to keep things running smoothly. If you go for a laptop with an Intel Core i7 or an AMD Ryzen 7 processor, we guarantee your machine will handle the software without a hiccup. However, you can also benefit from a well-performing graphics card, particularly for operations like real-time rendering, simulations, and visualization results. While you can get by with an integrated GPU like the Intel Iris Xe, for the best performance in Fusion 360, we recommend picking a laptop with a dedicated GPU.
