I need an advice for buying a laptop

Go to solution Solved by Slottr,

Acer Aspire e15 with an mx150 or a base Dell G3

Hello, I'm looking for a low range gaming laptop. I live in France so the prices I relate to are in euros. I will cite some of the wishes I have.

  1. The laptop has to cost less than $900 (800€) 
  2. Unless you really think it's better, I would like an Intel CPU
  3. Same for the GPU, I would like a Nvidia GPU, unless you have another solution that is really worth it
  4. I want an SSD and a HDD (128Go, 1To)
  5. At least 8Go RAM 
  6. Good IO (USB 3.1, Ethernet, Jack...)

Of course, you must know better than me but at around $800, they are equipped with a Core I5, and GTX1050 and 8Go of RAM.

I'm looking for an option with better hardware even if I have to give up on battery life or transportability.

I will do some casual gaming (CS:GO, LoL, Minecraft, Fortnite, etc...) and some work for school involving research and data interpretation (excel sheets)

There are things I don't care about :

  • Display resolution and refresh rate (my main gaming setup still has a 1080p 60Hz display so I'm used to it)
  • Keyboard and trackpad (I have my own mouse and don't care about keyboard) 
  • Battery life and portability (I won't be moving it around much nor use it intensely outside so I don't care)

I've done my research and I found the Lenovo y530, the HP Pavillion or Acer Nitro 5. Give me something better if you can.

Probably I copied the wrong model number

 

The model itself is more important, model number don't matter - only difference is specs
