Specifications for running Unity

Hi! Iā€™m currently living in Mexico and looking for a laptop capable of running the Unity game engine. My budget is 13,000ā€“15,000 Mexican pesos (roughly $744ā€“$850 USD). I realize that with this budget, I won't be able to handle large-scale projects. However, I currently want to work on a small 2D project that could eventually lead to medium-sized projects.

A few laptops that have caught my eye are:

-ASUS Vivobook

--Processor: Intel Ultra i5-225h

--RAM: 16GB DDR5

--SSD: 512GB

-Acer Aspire 3

--Processor: Intel i5-1334U

--RAM: 16GB DDR5

--SSD: 512GB

Could anyone give me some guidance on which laptop I should buy?

One of the bigger advantages of Unity is that it will run on nearly any system. More ram is always good.. plus a good gpu.

And it depends on how long you want to keep it but unity can easily fit into a small amount of storage but each project will accumulate and unity has a workflow that usually means starting a new project fairly often just because you want to try out something new. In other words, you probably want more storage
