If she needs to use any sort of 3D modeling software, she will be much better off with a gaming laptop or an even more expensive XPS or Precision line - something with a dedicated graphics card. My daughter needed something more advanced for one piece of medical software which used 3D modeling, and the old Inspiron she had wouldn't come close. She ended up getting an MSI Sword 15001, which worked beautifully for her needs. This particular Inspiron not only has integrated graphics, but it isn't even the better Radeon 610M (a separate graphics chip on the motherboard). The CPU itself has set aside some of its capabilities for basic graphics, such as required to run Windows, and that's about all its good for. In this price range, you'll want to look at clearance/sale/open box deals on less expensive gaming laptops. Good luck, I do hope you can find something like that - she will be much happier with it!
