Solved! Best laptop for 3d graphics

[viennapham]

Hello,
I'm buying a HP dv6 which is built with Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-720QM Quad Core processor (1.6GHz, 6MB L3 Cache) with Turbo Boost up to 2.8 GHz; 1GB ATI Mobility Radeon(TM) HD 5650 DDR3 Graphics [HDMI, VGA] - For Quad Core Processors; FREE Upgrade to 6GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm); 640GB 5400RPM Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection.
My questions are:
Is this good enough to run 3D graphics & animation?
The price is $999.99. Is it reasonable?
Thank you for your advice.

The price is reasonable, that's for sure, but you say "3d graphics and animation", I'm assuming you're referring to something like Autocad or a professional animation software, and not 3d gaming.

If so, I"m not quite sure how demanding those applications are, so I couldn't say.

its an alright computer, but u might want to go with this if u do more design than gaming:

it is a bit more expensive, but for design will suit ur needs better than ur current choice, since the 5650 isnt design specificly for design,

400$ is worth it if ur gonna use autocad, 3d design, etc

 

[plznote]

Nope, it has 2GB of RAM and AutoCAD eats RAM like an Elephant.

ur right forgot to see it had only 2 gigs this is better,

that comes with 4 gigs 😀
