  I have successfully used the Panasonic Toughpad. It has GPS built in which can be accessed by some CAD applications as well as GIS applications. The Windows Surface Pro has also been good in the field. It is cheaper and lighter than the Toughpad but needs to have a ruggerdised case fitted to survive being dropped.

  Anything with at least i5 processor and 8gb ram would be fine to run AutoCAD.

  The Panasonic FZG1 Mk 5 tablet. Mine has AutoCAD for use in the field along with TBC and software for connecting directly to my instrument and surveying with. Never had an issue with it after 2 years running the setup.

  I work offshore and travel around the world. I need durability, light weight, and performance. In 2011, I bought my first MacBook – a MacBook Air. My third broken Windows-based laptop was the last.
  
  My MacBook Airs and Pros have been tossed around my cabin and office aboard light construction vessels, and none have ever failed in any way. They’re light. They’re durable. And – if you must – you can run Windows on a virtual machine or by booting directly to the Windows OS.
  
  I run AutoCAD for Mac, MS Office 2019, and various Adobe apps. I also – when I must – run Windows 10, AutoCAD Map 3D, and some industry-specific software packages on my Mac’s.

  I have found the asus computers best for me. You can get them with as much computing power and graphics needed and they are built more solid than some other brands I have used. Just my opinion.
