specs of the model im getting :
i7-2670QM 2.2GHz,
8GB3 Ram,
750 GB HDD 7200 rpm,
ATI Radeon HD 7690M with 1GB,
im going to mainly use it for programming(school), rendering high-res photos/photoshop(leisure) and maplestory... it costs about 1.7k after school subsidy(whereas it is 2.3k before subsidy). I can afford it now but looking at what im going to do with it, should i tone down with the specs and get another much cheaper laptop that can handle both activities smoothly or is this just enough for it ?
Though HP laptops are competitively priced, I tend to avoid them because not only do they have bad press about their lifespan, everyone who I know who's owned one has had nothing but problems with them after about 8 months or so.
