I would add a SSD sometime in the future. --- Vocaloid topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/2000121-/76430759 <cite>ArchangelBaruch posted [p:900260331] in This a dec...

It'd be mostly for school but games would be a nice bonus, does it play most modern games on at least average settings? And I could easily add more RAM if I wanted right? <cite>MordecaiRocks posted [p:900260454] in This a dec...

RAMwise you're good. --- Vocaloid topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/2000121-/76430759 <cite>ArchangelBaruch posted [p:900260571] in This a dec...

halomonkey1_3_5 04/25/18 12:17:04 PM #6:	1st laptop is much better if you want to play games, 2nd is much weaker(its an ultraportable laptop) the 1st laptop will run basically any game out there at 1080p/"average settings"/60FPS just fine. A 3GB 1060 is still plenty of power for that goal. Reviews mention bad battery life(3-4hrs of normal use) tho so keep that in mind since you're buying it for school too. Might want to go buy one of the older Dell Inspiron Gaming laptops(Inspiron 7567) if battery life is important to you. --- Billy Mays: July 20, 1958 - June 28, 2009 The Greatest <cite>halomonkey1_3_5 posted [p:900279194] in This a dec...

I'm completely new to PC gaming haha.Also, I'm assuming the battery life is longer if I'm not running games so it shouldn't be a huge issue for school right? Also, this laptop is slightly more expensive than the first one, but would I be to better off getting it? https://tinyurl.com/y9pzfenr Sorry for all the questions but I appreciate the help! <cite>MordecaiRocks posted [p:900279658] in This a dec...

halomonkey1_3_5 04/25/18 12:35:40 PM #8:	MordecaiRocks posted... Why is it worse if the specs are better? I'm completely new to PC gaming haha. The 2nd laptop has a low-power CPU and GPU. They're both weaker than the parts in the 1st laptop, but consume significantly less power(and output less heat). That allows the 2nd laptop to be thinner, lighter and offer better battery life. But you lose a lot of performance by prioritizing lower power consumption. And stuff like RAM and SSD size are secondary specs that don't directly impact performance in the same way as the CPU and GPU. --- Billy Mays: July 20, 1958 - June 28, 2009 The Greatest <cite>halomonkey1_3_5 posted [p:900280187] in This a dec...
