I need it for school and getting a job in the future. It also has a touch pad which I need to sculpt
My current laptop is much less powerful and cant render anything really.
So long as you can accept that the thermal limits of a laptop are different from a desktop then I think it’s fine.
Note that going with the 16:10 “FullHD” monitor would save you ~400 $, I recon that is a significant difference for a student. That is close to the difference in price going from 16 to 64 gb of memory right there.
