Good Day,

I really
would like to buy Unreal Engine 4 , but i dont really know wether my Notebook can handle
the engine.

I would
like to know wether i could make small levels with it , like the office showed
in the official Unreal engine 4 Tutorial , for my personal use only.

My Specs
are : I7-2630Qm, Gt 540M , 6Gb RAM , Windows 64Bit

Btw i know the minim requirements , but i dont know wether i fit them because i dont have a pc.
In addition the official systemrquirements could also hange depending on how large ur levels are.

You could do with a little more memory, and the GPU is a little weak, but for smaller scenes you will probably be OK. Asset cooking will probably take a little longer (and building light maps might fail on some levels), but compile times should be alright (if you are a coder) and you should be able to handle most of the features at lower quality settings alright. I have a less powerful laptop, and I can limp along alright at low scaling values (I primarily use my desktop for development, though)

It also depends how many other apps you want to run in the background that will eat up memory.

For example, if you plan on occasionally opening an email client (that leads to opening browsers etc etc)
