Blender Capable

SketchUp Computer Advice
1

Hope you techie’s can help please? My daughter is in her last year of school heading in an art design direction. (lucky her, I chose engineering!)
She watered her laptop so it would grow into one that does blender!!
So I’m looking at this replacement, but the advice I’ve found is " capable of running blender, but you might experience some limitations"
Bearing in mind she’s still at school and all she really needs is an introduction to blender, would this machine not be too restrictive?
thanks techie’s

What is your budget? That laptop has an 8th gen intel cpu, the current generation is 14th. Also it depends what is she going to do in blender, if it’s just modeling that laptop might be fine, for rendering it could be better a laptop with an Nvidia gpu if it’s for animations a cpu with more cores and more powerful is the better option.

thanks for the help
she’s just looking to get started, so nothing too complex.
I’m going to go with the one i mentioned
