Will this laptop run Unity okay?

Not for huge projects, just some 2d games and maybe a few 3d tests.

If not, do you know anything 400$ or under that WILL?

Anyone?

 

Lenovo is a good brand but not for those on a very tight budget. This ASUS laptop has better capabilities.

Oh snap, I'll most definitely be getting that one instead. Thanks!

 

Look up the minimum system requirements of Unity and compare them to laptop specs.

 

Lies. Frequent screen/GPU issues, horrid bloatware, borderline unethical bundles and more corners cut for each new model released. I try to stay away, but I'm sometimes responsible for preparing the damn things for customers. It's like a zombie movie - they always come back, rotting, stinky, braindead.

Cheap costs more. Go with the Asus.

 

If you don't mind spending a bit more you can get the ASUS Q551. Same amount of memory but a better CPU (Core i7), better GPU (GeForce 840M), a bigger drive (1TB), and a higher resolution (1920 by 1080). It's ~$200 more refurb.

The caveat is that it comes bigger and heavier than the Q302.

You have to be choosy with every brand.

 

I run Unity just fine on a 4+ year-old Lenovo, and it wasn't even state-of-the-art back when I got it. (no GPU, just integrated Intel graphics) For basic development, most modern standard laptops should work just fine.

 

That's a good laptop, can't afford it though. Hopefully with some of the games I make on Unity on that computer I'll scrap up a thousand bucks for a better one.
