    -Windows 8 64bit

    -40 cm(15.6″) white led Full HD-breedbeeldscherm (1.920 x 1.080)

    -8GB1 DDR3 SDRAM at 1600MHz

    -1 TB (5.400 rpm) Seriële ATA-harde schijf

    -8X DVD+/-RW station

    -2GB AMD Radeon HD 7730M

    is comptable with Adobe CS6, After Effects.

    I’m not really good hardware stuff so… that’s why I am asking you guys

    Yes, it’s compatible. See the minimum specs here [link].

    However, I’ll note that the AMD graphics card on here will not accelerate Ae CS6’s ray-tracing renderer. For that, you need an NVIDIA graphics card with CUDA support. There’s a list of supported cards on the link above. Unsupported NVIDIA cards may work if you edit the text file that tells Ae what cards it can use.

    I’ll also note that this won’t really be a performance machine: you’d get better performance from a quad-core i7 and 16GB of RAM. Of course, you’ll pay more, too, so it’s a matter of balancing performance against budget.
