I have something with an a8 quad core 2.4GHz, 8GB ram 1TB HDD and R5 with 1GB dedicated graphics and I personally use it for modelling and rendering, as long as you don't model anything with a huge poly count e.g. 750,000 but that's unlikely if your just learning. As for the painting part you could but a potato and you'dstill be golden.

Great artists steal.

maybe bump the processor speed to 3.0GHz? I have a 2.6GHz laptop, but its slow at times.

>16GB Ram
are they DDR4?

the dedicated graphics might be a good edge imho

>>2564927
it should be able to run 3D programs just fine
but notebook graphics cards are always meh and even then some programs dont work very well with radeon cards and some even dont support it at all and use CPU instead

My thoughts: don't go with a lenovo unless it's a thinkpad. I bought a lenovo y-90 touch and it was always bogging down due to poor ventilation, the internals were designed to be a one time only access (had my bird chew off a couple keys and break the under mechanics..point is, no screws, only plastic that was melted to act as a rivet to hold the keyboard in place) lenovo has been caught putting malware into their own systems, the trackpad is horrendous and will self destruct in a matter of months, and the dedicated graphics is nice, but my experience with radeons in a laptop setting has not been a positive one. I would honestly try to get an intel i7 if you're trying to get into rendering and 3d. intel typically scores very well in pure numbers scenarios which rendering and modeling would include. geforce cards also do extremely well in modeling when compared against ati. You might see those things as unnecessary inflated costs, but while you're learning you may not be tapping into those things, but you'll gain another three years on your laptop if you're using just for those reasons you listed and not for gaming on the side. while certain programs might require more than what your system can push, it'd be a long ways down the road if you took the time to properly budget your needs. Don't worry much about RAM honestly. that is easily upgradeable, as is the hard drive (SSD, pls) but make sure you purchase the hard drive fast so you're not a year down the road trying to back everything up so you can install the new drive...it's a hassle that you don't really need and a good hard drive is pretty cheap these days so you might as well have that ready when you purchase.

/g/ here, Photoshop is RAM intensive get something with 8GB RAM and an SSD and you should be good.
But with Vray in the mix get something with nVidia dGPU, it's known to run better on their drivers, at least a 960m.

These fuck off massive laptops aren't very portable senpai

>a8 apu
>r5 m230
>gaming laptop

Gaming my ass

'True' gaming laptops has at least an Nvidia GTX x60 (860m, 960m etc)
>$1000

'Semi' or entry 'gayming' laptop, from known 'gayming' Brands has at least a GTX x50.
>$850

AMD has no answer to the portable gaming market.

Do yourself a favor and get at least something with an i5u + GT 940m
>$500

R5 M230

GT 940m
http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-940M.138027.0.html

Rule of thumb;
Anytime you're looking to buy a CHEAP laptop with SOME gaming capability, get at least an Nvidia x40m.

The cheapest combo with an i5u mobile processor would cost around $500.

To get on par you'll need to find an AMD with an R7 370m or equivalent, but good luck finding one at $500.
