Is My Laptop Decent?

[Captain Kalabraxo]

Hello,

 

I am considering on buying a new laptop as I feel like the laptop I currently have cannot hold up a games such as Assassins Creed Syndicate, The New Hitman & Other upcoming games on Medium to High settings (Anti-Aliasing Off) . But on the contrary I don't know if I really NEED to and I want some help form experienced people to give me a idea of if I really do need to buy a new laptop.

 

My Laptop Specs:
Intel I5 4120U 1.7 Ghz Boost to 2.7 GHz Duel Core 4 Threaded Processor

8GB of DDR3 1600Mhz Kingston Ram (Potentially Upgrading to 16GB DDR3 1600Mhz)

1TB HDD (Currently replacing it to a 1TB SSHD in a few days)

Nvidia 840M 2 GB of VRAM

Windows 8.1 (Moving to Windows 10)

Laptop Screen running on a native 1366x768 but when I am at home I have 1 1080P AOC IPS 23 Inch Screen I game on.

 

Do I need to buy a new laptop?

SNIP

 

 

the 840m is a bit pants, a 960m would be a much better idea, (if not higher)

 

Laptops unfortunately cost a lot to get decent long lasting performance

Why don't you buy a desktop?

Why don't you buy a desktop?

 

I have one but I am getting a apprenticeship in the RAF and I cannot exactly hall a desktop around. Plus I'm traveling around more and as much as I like my 5820K, GTX 960 PC I don't like carrying a Desktop around.

[Captain Kalabraxo]

Yeah that would do it

 So you'd suggest I buy the Acer V Nitro?

Royal Air Force? I work with them, but I'm in the USAF. They bought two RC135V/W from my squadron here.

 

In the airforce I just built a mITX computer that has an i7 4970k and a amd 7970ghz gpu. I mainly did that for your reason, portability, but I'm stationed here for 5 years, if I don't do 20 here. I just bought a laptop Dell 1547 that i use for notes and I played FarCry4 on it while deployed.

840M needs many games set to low.

I play games like Assassins creed rogue, Bf4, GTA 5 & Assassins creed unity on high settings and get 30 fps stable.

 Yeah I was thinking about selling my ATX motherboard and downsize to Asrocks X99 ITX Motherboard but I'm on the go most of the time so I'm thinking a laptop would be my best bet for Mobile pc gaming.
