“Can this computer run Maya well? Need something powerful enough for computer animation.”

• Yup! Do animations with Blender 3D and After Effects and it runs them well. The processor does throttle about 30% out of the box though so undervolting or repasting is necessary. I've added some good alternatives to this laptop below, you'd most likely want an RTX 2060 or a GTX 1660 Ti. If Maya supports ray-tracing RTX would be the way to go, for usage in Blender, I get my renders done about 30% faster. If not or you do not plan to use ray tracing in your workflow I'd go for a laptop with a 1660 Ti. RTX 2070 isn't worth the money, you're looking at ~15% performance gains for about $300+.

  I would recommend:
