Buying a laptop for my brother for xmas for beat making, would this be perfect for Reason?

[Vilhena]

ASUS X 14" Laptop - Black (Intel Core i7 5500U / 1TB HDD / 8GB RAM / Windows 10)

Let me know please. He uses Reason on his old desktop (forgot the specs, but its from 2010/HP) so this would be better, but would it be overkill or what>?

Thanks

if he has the old software then he may only need the upgrade to reason 8

I still use reason 7
