The Best PC for an Architect
Now is a great time to be an architect in the UK, with an industry revenue estimated at £3.6bn in 2019. In the wake of Brexit, the local demand for architects soared as one in five architects registered with the Architects Registration Board is from the EU and 60 percent of construction projects in the country are awarded to EU firms.
If you are a practising architect in the UK today, we can supply one of the most important pieces of equipment you will need: a high-performance PC. As your trusted professional computer retailer, we’ll help identify the best computers for the job.
What Do Architectural Computer Programs and Applications Need?
The best PCs for architects are the ones that can run design software smoothly and perform tasks like image and video rendering, animation, and many others without significant lag. You’ll want a computer that can run both 2D and 3D computer-aided design (CAD) software so that you can develop designs that will convince and impress clients.
The good news is you can get your hands on CPUs capable of all that here at Inside Tech.
Here are examples of computers in our catalogue that we highly recommend for architects:
Monster Fanless 10th Gen— Up to the i9 10900k
A gaming workstation that can handle high-end applications commonly used by architects, this fanless PC has an excellent cooling system that keeps the motherboard from getting too overheated when the PC is used for several hours straight. It’s extremely quiet, thanks to the Low Noise Computing feature built into all of the PCs in our product catalogue.
This CPU uses a 10th generation Intel processor (supports i5 and i7) with an optional Fanless Heatpiped RTX 2070 Super Gaming video card, has up to 64GB of DDR4 memory, and supports 2.4/5 GHz Dual-Band wireless communication.
