Would this laptop do the job? (New cam girl)

[Jess J Pinkman]

Would this laptop be ok for camming? I've browsed several forums and many people are saying that you have to have an i7 processor. Trouble is that I don't have much money and I'm looking for something a little less expensive.

Operating system: Windows 10 (64-bit)

SPECIFICATION Processor - Intel® Core™ i5-5200U Processor - Dual-core - 2.2 GHz / 2.7 GHz with Turbo Boost - 3 MB cache Memory (RAM) 8 GB Storage 1 TB HDD, 5400 rpm

I would only use the laptop for camming purposes (If that makes any difference)

Many thanks x

I'm using an i5 processor and it's fine.

I like the look of that Asus...if I had a spare £379 I'd love it as a backup.

i get by on my old i3 but its tough going, if you get i7 then do it but i5 will be good especially 5th gen

The likelihood is that in the New Year prices will be reduced.

Made me chuckle how PC World makes it look reduced in price. No, that's the usual price but for a short while they increased it.

I use an I5 desktop and it runs fine... I think it should be ok for a bit until you can upgrade

If you can find it to purchase on Amazon, returns are super easy. I had to return a laptop there and go for a better model. No questions asked.

Thanks for all of your replies. You've been very helpful. Think I'm going to go ahead and get this one. I'm sick of looking for the perfect laptop.

I have an i3 processor that I'm desperate to upgrade XD also look at the possible RAM upgrades for your system - it should be enough but if at any point you want to go higher it's good to know how high you can go!
