autocad

Currently studying architecture at university and debating purchasing a new IpadPro. Does it run AutoCad, photoshop etc? Is it a worthwhile investment? TIA :)

iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 3rd Gen, Wi-Fi

As a student needing full featured software, you would be better served by buying a full featured laptop. You can run scaled down versions of Photoshop, Lightroom, etc., but they are still not the full featured computer versions. You can also get an Autocad app from the App Store, but again, it won't be a full features computer version. As a note, you cannot download software to an iOS based device. Whatever you want has be available as an App from the App Store.
