Answer 1

You can do it but as Ipang said it might bring you trouble later.

To start off, it's no problem.

Answer 2

Get a PC instead, you can get more RAM and storage than if you had bought a laptop - with same budget.

Gaming PC/laptop requires high processing power, fast and large storage (for the installation), huge memory, and blazingly fast graphic adapter.

Game development machine should generally have a better hardware specification than that of a player because there will be game dev tools and utilities software running (not just the game itself) in development stages, which means higher demand of system resources.

Answer 5

In the media creative world, money matters. Think of building a 4k game by using a 1080p monitor only.
