Have a watch of these four inspirational stories of iconic construction projects that were featured this week at Autodesk University 2020.
These Documentaries Will Transform How You Think About Construction
Building Nightingale
Learn how a passionate and integrated team of designers and contractors in the UK came together to build rapid response hospitals to support COVID-19 patients in only nine days.
Building The Kendeda Building for Innovative Sustainable Design
Discover how a design and construction team reimagined sustainability and came together to build one of the most sustainable and energy net-positive buildings in the sweltering heat of the Southern United States.
Building Sydney Coliseum Theatre
See how a marginalized community is being brought back to life with the construction of a fresh and iconic entertainment venue using modern prefabrication techniques.
Building the Afsluitdijk
Understand how the urgency of sea-level rise and climate change challenged the design and construction team to respond to the revitalization of a 100-year old dike in the Netherlands.
Hi Shaan,
What spec (speed) is your tablet?
We have a trail machine at work that i might be able to get for an Autocad (ADT) trial but the IT people say its slow (900’ish processor i think). I reckon would be great for taking the model to our retail stores for in store meetings/as builts etc.

I have one first generation Toshiba Portege 3500 currently which is a 1.4Ghz Centrino that is a fairly quick machine.I also have a new second generation HP slate all ruggidized coming which I will detail in this blog later. I am assuming you have the first edition Compaq which was not a real speed demon and also on the non intel chip, right?
The main speed limitation has been the graphics card in these devices which in the second generation machines coming out now has been for the most part addresed. Some of the new TabletPC units now shipping are comparable to the current low to mid range notebook specs you can purchase. In fact you will see more and more notebooks for an additional cost of $200 as a TabletPC model which will speed adoption into the market. I would not suggest the TabletPC yet for 3D or heavy operations like ADT, Inventor or Max, but for general plain AutoCAD it is sufficient.
You can also now get very fast TabletPCs with a built in CD/DVD which has also been a complaint of many users.
There should be a fast growing adoption as more and more tablet/notebook models hit the market. In fact the city of Seattle just announced their standard notebook as the TabletPC from Gateway.
