need help/advice

[HSA]

This is my laptops specs, and the max fps i reach is 30 when playing games. i wanted to ask if i should buy this laptop (https://www.currys.co.uk/products/acer-aspire-3-15.6-laptop-intel-core-i5-512-gb-ssd-silver-10254475.html?searchTerm=ACER Aspire 3 15.6" Laptop - Intel® Core™ i5%2C 512 GB SSD%2C S)  or if i should buy a pc to boost the laptops performance. And if anyone has any gaming laptop recommendation for under £600 pls let me know.

That laptop probably won't game much faster than the one you already have, since they both just have Intel integrated graphics.

 

What games do you want to play, and what's your budget?

How is a mini PC going to make your current laptop faster?

My max budget is £500, i dont know if i should but a new laptop of a pc.

I currently play warframe & Nioh: The Complete Edition, rocket league. I woild like to but cant play other games like Fortnite or call of duty, even on the lowest settings and the frames barely hit 30 fps.

What about these (https://www.fiercepc.co.uk/budget?product_list_order=price&p=1), are they any good? or scam?

Theyre not a scam per se, but theyre in no way good PCs and in no way good value for money either

I agree, prebuilt custom PCs aren't necessarily a good value. (I've never heard of "Fierce PC", either.)

 

Here's a build I threw together on PC Part Picker that hits your price range, including a Windows license. Don't just go out and buy these parts right away, get some more feedback first. (I literally just picked things that sounded reasonable at an okay price, I didn't try to maximize performance or value.)

Don`t buy at Currys. Everything is overpriced there. Try https://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/
And if you want play games you need to look for a laptop with dedicated GPU.
