Looks like a good pick to me! What kind of software are you looking to use mostly? zBrush? Blender?

Hi meithuy!

This laptop should generally be powerful enough for your studies, but it's not that good of a deal for 1K-1.2K (dollars? euros?). First of all, it has a display that covers just 45% of the NTSC color space, which is absolutely horrible — that in itself is a dealbreaker for any kind of creative work.

Where are you from? Give us a few links to the most popular local hardware shops and then we can take a look at what's available (unless, of course, you have access to Amazon or a similar retailer).

I would save up a little more money and get myself a laptop with an i7 processor. Moreover, this laptop does not have the best color rendering. I recently bought a MacBook from my friend. I had to find information about factory reset macbook, I read a lot and found more information in the article. So now the laptop is like new and it’s enough for me to work. The best screen on the market has never glitched, etc. So think about it.

In principle, 16 RAM and an i5 processor are enough for you. But why not take i7?
