I was able to run Revit on my thinkpad relatively well.
At the time I had a loaded T410s with a 2nd gen i5, with 4gb of ram, and an SSD.
My recommendations if you are looking for a laptop, just buy the best you can afford.
I am personally running a new T440s now (I actually just got it). All said and done, it was just under $1500. Specs:
-4th Gen i7
-8Gb of Ram
-256gb SSD.
Its a beast of a machine, and will do just about anything I can throw at it. I stand behind IBM/Lenovo, especially their thinkpad line. They are great laptops, with good support and good customer service.
Some key things to remember, especially in your chosen field:
-Autocad, Revit, 3DStudioMaxx, PS, etc. Should all need to have quick access to memory for read/write, which means you HAVE to have an SSD.
-Buy the best processor you can afford
-Dedicated graphics in laptops is no longer necessary, in desktops its obviously a requirement
-RAM is like money, you can never have too much
Watch out, the thinpad above, is an older model, it is a 3rd generation intel. I would not go for that as of now, unless you were on a serious budget. The 4th generation of processors are a HUGE leap for battery life and power.
