Is this laptop processor enough for me

I am looking for a budget laptop. I work on photoshop and play some games on Facebook. I have to do multitasking a lot, like switching back and forth between game and photoshop, while music plays in the background, I work in office, and open multiple tabs on chrome for research. sometimes I use sony vegas too. I don't care about battery power or camera. I want to know does this laptop work for me. I want to have an i core7 processor but it's out of my budget, but if I have to save for it I am willing to do so.

Rendering may take a while because of its 2 cores and 4 threads if you're doing CPU rendering.

Can you save up and stretch the budget a bit? If so you can find something with a lot better screen. Trust me, 1366x768 displays on 15” laptops are evil. 

Main System: Phobos

AMD Ryzen 7 2700 (8C/16T), ASRock B450 Steel Legend, 16GB G.SKILL Aegis DDR4 3000MHz, AMD Radeon RX 570 4GB (XFX), 960GB Crucial M500, 2TB Seagate BarraCuda, Windows 10 Pro for Workstations/macOS Catalina

 

Secondary System: York

Intel Core i7-2600 (4C/8T), ASUS P8Z68-V/GEN3, 16GB GEIL Enhance Corsa DDR3 1600MHz, Zotac GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1GB, 240GB ADATA Ultimate SU650, Windows 10 Pro for Workstations

7th gen mobile i7's (7700HQ not included) also have 2 cores 4 threads. Only advantage they have over i5's (again, comparing U and not HQ CPUs) is the higher frequency and higher cache.

 

Also, GPU rendering will be better in basically all scenarios (where CUDA or other GPU rendering is supported)

384 @ 1122 - 1242 (Boost) MHz and 2GB of VRAM... enjoy :) Plus it does have CUDA but doesn't specify how many on Nvidia's website.

It's just that CUDA rendering is much better supported in programs, which causes the better performance in rendering (compared to a CPU).

But I can try to check the amount of CUDA cores a 940MX should have on some laptop in a minute.

 

But kinda weird how Novideo doesn't mention the amount of CUDA cores active..
