Solved! Help with a new laptop for game development/gaming.

[andresito.hernandez]

Hi!
Since my old computer isn't enough I plan to buy a new laptop for my hobbies and University work. I am from Mexico so I don't have a great budget and I can only afford to buy the laptop in one specific store.
Also I can't afford any upgrades in the near future.

Which after visiting the store leaves with just 2 options.

The uses for the laptop will be these.

-Gaming
-3ds Max for 3d Modelling and some rendering
-Unreal Engine for game development
-Audio editing
-Photoshop for photo editing and texturizing
-Scultris for modeling
-Substance painter for texturizing.
-University work (web surfing, word, excel, etc.)

The 2 options are:

Dell G3
I7-8750H Hexa Core, 8gb RAM, 128GB SSD, 1TB HDD 5600RPM, GTX 1050TI 4GB

and

Lenovo Y720

I7-7700HQ Quad Core, 16gb RAM, 128GB SSD, 1TB HDD 7200RPM, GTX 1060 6GB

The Lenovo Y720, to me, seems like the better option. You get more memory, an SSD and a faster HDD than the Dell G3, and a more powerful GTX 1060 GPU. The only downside is that the Lenovo only has a quad core CPU compared to the Dell's hexa core CPU, but it shouldn't hinder overall performance by a whole lot.
