Current Events > Thoughts on this laptop?

(+) Yeah! (+)

didn't wanna spend too much as I plan to build a PC later on. I just need something portable for school, also just want one that can run siege, apex and Warzone

Small SSD harddrive but looks like a capable machine.

It'll run those games no prob but that hard drive size is depressing. It's 2020 1tb SSDs should be baseline.

This is another alternative

Acer Nitro 5 Gaming Laptop, 9th Gen Intel Core i5-9300H, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, 15.6" Full HD IPS Display, 8GB DDR4, 256GB NVMe SSD, WiFi 6, Waves MaxxAudio, Backlit Keyboard, AN515-54-5812 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086KJBKDW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_OGl7Eb9R34W3M

As already stated avoid 8GB memory card. 1TB is the new. You're wasting your money on anything with less than 1TB RAM tbqh.

If you get that one, buy 8 more gb of RAM and a 1tb NVMe SSD. That'll probably increase the price another 200 or so idk how much laptop RAM costs but will be worth it in the long run.

In 2020, 16gb of RAM is ideal, 8gb is bare minimum.

Is there any laptop under $1000 with 1 TB?

because I cant find one

why is it a big deal? My budget is 800-1000

You must be rich. I never spend more than $300 on laptops. Or maybe you are buying on credit.

not rich but I make decent money amidst this pandemic

most newer (2015-now) games are 50-80gb each. So your drive will fill up pretty quickly. Especially if it's a 258gb drive. The RAM isnt as important because while 8gb is the minimum, you'll still be able to run games without too much of a noticeable performance drop. Like I said you can probably buy that laptop and then install a bigger SSD. Some of the reviews mention doing this.

Just get an Xbox One X. Way cheaper, and can run those games you wanna play. You can even use keyboard mouse on Xbox.

I just bought that same exact laptop I think. Got it on Amazon cheaper. Just came in today.

That is the one I got

I would say it's probably fine if you're gonna build a PC later, but I bought a similar cheap gaming laptop a few years ago with a GTX 1050, kinda regret not going for the next step up 1060 it's a pretty huge difference and I basically can't play any modern games with this thing now, even some older games struggle.

im just aiming to play siege, apex, WARZONE, PUBG and Skyrim.

i think warzone is the most graphic intensive but its no problem If I cant run it, Ill just play on PS4.

anyways I pulled the trigger and bought ASUS tuf.

Got this one fixed. Just needed to do a ton of windows updates so now the internet is perfect. Have not gamed on this yet but the frame and such should be the same as the one you are getting and so far I really like the feel of it.
