Laptop HELP

[IBojo]

Hello. This forum has been super useful my last couple posts so i was hoping for some more advice.

My sister needs a laptop. She wants it for school purposes primarily but also wants ti have something that will be able to play an upcoming game called 'planet zoo'. I found a laptop at Best Buy that looked ok to me but I was wondering if you all had any better ideas or laptops you know are good. The budget is technically $800 CAD but ideally below that.

I found the 'system requirements' for 'planet zoo' :

 

 

Here are the Planet Zoo System Requirements (Minimum)

• CPU: Intel i5-4460/AMD FX-8320
• CPU SPEED: Info
• RAM: 8 GB
• OS: Windows 7 (SP1+)/8.1/10 64bit
• VIDEO CARD: nVidia GeForce GTX 760 / AMD Radeon HD 7870 (2GB)
• PIXEL SHADER: 5.0
• VERTEX SHADER: 5.0
• DEDICATED VIDEO RAM: 2048 MB

Planet Zoo Recommended Requirements

• CPU: Intel i7-6770K / AMD Ryzen 7 1700
• CPU SPEED: Info
• RAM: 16 GB
• OS: Windows 7 (SP1+)/8.1/10 64bit
• VIDEO CARD: nVidia GeForce GTX 1080 / AMD Radeon RX 580 (4GB)
• PIXEL SHADER: 5.1
• VERTEX SHADER: 5.1
• DEDICATED VIDEO RAM: 4096 MB

And here are the specs of the laptop we were thinking of:

 

AMD Ryzen 2200U

8GB DDR4 2400 SDRAM

1TB HDD

AMD Radeon Vega 3 graphics

Hey,
That Laptop Looks Pretty good For what the Min. Spec Requirements are.
I don't live in Canada, but I reckon that the 2200U will handle just fine for general use and Planet Zoo. The 8GB is a good deal especially with the 1TB Hard Drive, and the Vega Graphics should be good
Good Luck With your Laptop Search!
