Hi will this be ok to run rhino 6 and be useable?
spec
i7 6700HQ
GTX 950m 2gb
12gb ddr4
1tb ssd
Hi I have been offered a great deal on a laptop
It’s only a good deal if we know the price. That graphics card is outdated currently and the Ram is a bit low to current standards. However, if the price is good then it could be worth it.
Hi it is used and only £250 so its worth that just as a normal user machine but would change ram to 16GB and it will be used as entry level Rhino use not full time if you know what I mean.
budget is tight ( under 400 Uk ) for a used machine unless anyone knows of another spec that works well
Thank you for your reply it is appreciated.
Seems fine for that price.
Hi yes deff a great price and far cheaper than ebay etc - my other one is a gtx 960 4gb at £400 with same processor and 8gb ddr4 but can add more ram - also a 8 thread i7 4th gen with a gtx 850m 2gb nv ram
thank you for your Reply
As long as you know that the 950 has 25% fewer quda cores than the 960, so rendering will be slower IF you use render apps that support quda. The CPU can still do a good job, but is of course not up to speed with newer systems, BUT when cash is king, top speed is not 
So it will be fully usable.
You could invest in a used GTX 1060 though, and still stay well within budget.
Ram wise I would only spend more money on that system IF you need more ram, and you only need more ram if you run out. (adding more ram does not make a system faster unless it is being used )
