Hello,
I am looking to acquire a new laptop that will serve for academic research processes and also Trainz on the go
I have a question regarding the possible performance of Trainz (particularly 2012, I do not plan to have TANE at the momentbut would also like to see on that anyway) on the following laptop:
It is an HP Envy, I am eyeing a 17" version with the following specs:
I read that the 940M is okay, as it is on the bottom of the spectrum for Nvidia's graphics for laptops. I just want to know how okay it is for Trainz (12 / TANE) namely in the configuration above.
Now the plot thickens. HP's website offers an upgrade to the following processor and graphics combination:
Intel core i7 - 6700 HQ Processor (4GB - quad core)
Nvidia GeForce 950M
I also want to know how significant of a difference this configuration can present to the gaming experience for both versions.
Thanks! Much appreciated.

- 16 GB RAM (2 DIMM) - I reckon more than 2GB is practically useless for the game itself, but I have it out there just incase
- Nvidia GeForce 940M
- Intel Core i7 - 6500U Processor (2GB - dual core)
- 1 TB Hard drive, with 5400rpm - Just wanted to put out the rpm just incase
