an you tell us what software you will be using? Otherwise we have no idea.
Also, 8GB of SSD inst even enough for windows. I also don't see a dedicated GPU on that one.

I want to use 3ds Max or Maya but not together. Can you please suggest me one with good GPU then.

This will probably be better, Maya needs 16 GB of RAM.

I am bit not happy with this PC can you please suggest me bit better in price range from $1000 - $1500... I am also going to use Maya 2016 and according to this link https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/maya/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/System-requirements-for-Autodesk-Maya-2016.html I think 8GB would be sweet spot for me as a beginner. Thanks in advance.

I would not use this for 3D work, the CPU is a low wattage i7 not a true quad core i7.

The first Dell is better, just upgrade the RAM if needed. There is an option for a 16 GB part with a larger SSD for a few $100 more.

get at least a notebook with GTX 960M and 4 cores i7 if you want to use Maya . How much is your budget?

Thank you hang-the-9 and Samer1970 I almost lost my interest for 3D Animation looking at the above statement... I am just the beginner and want to learn animation on my on so even to afford for nice thousand it would be hard for me as a learner... I am expecting one under $1000.

I also want to know if this Dell https://www.amazon.com/Dell-i7559-5012GRY-Touchscreen-Generation-Microsoft/dp/B015PYZI8E/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&keywords=Dell%20Inspiron%20i7559-5012GRY&qid=1462991958&ref_=as_li_ss_tl&s=pc&sr=1-1&linkCode=ll1&tag=toplaptops009-20&linkId=f360578488ceffbfe27aa16a5fcabf32
Is better than the one I have mentioned at top. Thanks in advance to all.

The second one has better screen

15.6 Inch UHD (3840 x 2160 pixels) LED-lit Truelife Touchscreen

but you better get an SSD as well , notebooks harddisks are awfully slow
