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).
