Hi meithuy!

This laptop should generally be powerful enough for your studies, but it's not that good of a deal for 1K-1.2K (dollars? euros?). First of all, it has a display that covers just 45% of the NTSC color space, which is absolutely horrible — that in itself is a dealbreaker for any kind of creative work.

Where are you from? Give us a few links to the most popular local hardware shops and then we can take a look at what's available (unless, of course, you have access to Amazon or a similar retailer).
