Hello I was offered to trade my MacBook Pro 13" mid 2014 for an older Alienware m17 r3. Basically I want a laptop that will run UE4 smoothly for game development. I’m wondering if this Alienware would… Here are the specs of the Alienware :

i7 2670QM
GTX 580
2.2 GHZ 8gb RAM, 1tb storage
80 ssd

Are these Specs too low to run ue4? Should I trade? Thanks

The recommended and minimum system requirements can be found in the documentation here. Given your specifications, you meet the recommended specs. That said, generally, you’ll be able to run the engine even with older hardware, it’s just that you might have a more unstable development experience.
