I am planning on purchasing a new laptop for myself and i found this one, i want to do game creating in my spare time as i have found a keen interest in it, but want a laptop that is capable of running the software (Unity, Blender etc) and other everyday software such as Word, Python etc with ease.
I am very inexperienced with new laptops as have had the same one for 7 years and everything is new to me.
Please could you offer some advice as to whether this is a good buy or not. The spec for the laptop is below.
Operating System - Windows 8
Processor - Intel Core i7-4700MQ (2.4Ghz, 3.4Ghz, with Turbo Boost, 6MB Cache)
RAM - 12GB DDR3
Graphics Card - NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M (2 GB)
Storage - 1TB HDD 5400 rpm
Screen Size - 17"
Screen Type - LED
Screen Resolution - 1920x1080
Sound - Beats Audio
Cost - £899
I would be open to any suggestions and am looking for a long term laptop, not looking to change the laptop for a long time yet.
I do not really want to be spending any more on a laptop than this, this is sort of top of the budget for me.
