Important Decision - New Laptop (gaming)

[Gackt]

Hello guys

 

For some reason I will migrate from the desktop to the laptops.

 

That's why I'm looking for one that meets my expectations.

 

I researched some models and found these:

 

- Acer - Nitro 5 15.6" Laptop - AMD Ryzen 5 - 8GB Memory - AMD Radeon RX 560X /// 4GB VRAM

- Acer - Nitro 5 15.6" Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 /// 2GB VRAM

- Lenovo - 330S-15ARR 15.6" Laptop - AMD Ryzen 5 - 8GB Memory /// AMD Radeon Vega 8

 

They all have fullHD and IPS

 

I want a laptop that allows me to play any game satisfactorily.

 

Can you guys help me?

 

Thanks!

What's your budget? I personally wouldn't touch an Acer laptop with a 10 foot pole from previous bad experience.

Location? Budget? Any preference on weight and battery life?

I'm using a nitro 5 i5 1050 as my daily driver. Other than the plasticky construction I have been very happy. Thermals have been excellent, however higher spec models do have issues with cooling however.

 

Take a look into the 2018 omen line. Should be around the same budget and are remarkably nice for the money. Avoid the 2017 and older models.

Location: Orlando

Budget: $600 - I can extend it to $700 if it's reaallllyyy worth it

Weight/Battery life: That is not VERY heavy. The battery is not that important. I will use plugged in most of the time.

 

*** I'll make the purchase in a physical store. Then it will be at walmart or bestbuy. (Or any other store you guys recommend in Orlando.)

I'll take a look!  Thanks for sharing.

 

Your nitro 5 is 1050 or 1050ti?

Budget is low for a gaming laptop, might want to go used/refurb or wait for sales

 

Preferred max weight in kg/lbs?

Not more than 2,5kg / 3kg

Mine is 1050 4gb. Keep in mind my primary use is not gaming.

 

Budget is way too low to buy new. I would see if there are any good used deals near you.

 

Walmart has the pavilion gaming with 1050ti for 648 right now on special. Thermals are trash. Build quality is plasticky, but it fits budget.

I have an HP Omen 15 with a 1050ti, 8th gen core I5, 12 gigs ddr4 2400 ram, 128gb m.2, 1tb HDD and 15 inch 60hz display. Bought it on Amazon for 799 brand new with 3 year warranty. Thermals are ok but it will run warm. I'm going to redo the thermal paste when I get back home. But outside of that I have no issues with it. I can run ME Andromeda at 60 fps with medium to medium high settings.

Hmmm.. okei.

 

Thank you guys!

 

What if I ... maybe .. raise my budget to $ 1000? Can I get anything really really better?

There are many good options

 

Are you sure you want to increase budget?

If I raise the budget and this brings significant improvements ... I can agree.

My budget will be between $ 600 and $ 1000. Of course, the less I pay, better.
