What Diego said. It’ll work, but it’ll be slow and won;t be fun to work with. If you have to go for a laptop then try and go for something closer to 2.4Ghz (or whatever is near the upper limit these days), and 16Gb of RAM.

Hi GemmaXx,



Just keep in mind that the graphics card is getting more and more important these days with ae.

So get a good one if you have the chance for it.

Plugins like Element 3d are not supported by some cards.(Like intel graphics cards)

The plugin may work but you will get some bugs or won’t be able to render it out.



And most effects are getting gpu based so the better your card is the faster your work will be done.

But of course the CPU is much more important for ae.Otherwise it will be painfull in most projects.
