Looking for a €1200 3d modeling/animation laptop

[Hebury]

Hi all!

 

I've been out of the PC building / laptop scene for too long and I'm a bit lost in all the options around. I do have a fairly decent set of requirements and a clear budget so I hope someone here can help me out?

 

Max budget: €1200

Country: The Netherlands

Usage: This laptop is for an art student majoring in animation and 3D modeling. She uses Blender and After effects mostly, also a few drawing programs but those are not as heavy to run. In the battle between performance and battery she leans towards performance because she always plugs her laptop in anyway. A medium sized laptop is preferred and a color accurate display would be a nice to have.

 

Programs used most often: 

• Blender
• Adobe After Effects

 

Requirements:

• A quad core CPU
• A decent GPU (probably Nvidia for the Cuda cores with Adobe, around a 1660 I'm guessing)
• 512gb ssd
• 8gb of ram (maybe an open slot so it is up gradable to 16gb down the road)
• around 15.6"
• No Macbooks
• 60Hz display is fine

Nice to haves:

• Color accurate display
• 16gb of ram
• Not too gamery looking

Any advice is greatly appreciated. The amount of laptops to choose from is very overwhelming.
