New laptop

[lolgame123]

Hi there! I'm looking for a new laptop that could run The Witcher 3 smoothly (medium settings at least). I saw HP Pavilion 15-an001na Star Wars Special Edition but i would liketo hear your opinion first.

 

15,6" Full HD LED 1920x1080

Intel Core i5 6200U 2,30GHz Dual Core

6GB DDR3

HDD SATA 1000GB

NVIDIA GeForce 940M (2 GB)

That one won't run even low 45fps

Budget?

You're looking at at least a 960M or AMD equivalent to play Witcher 3 smoothly.

That 940m will struggle to run that game at any setting. you will need something like a 960m for med settings at 900p/1080p

850M, 860M, 950M, 960M - all the same core and all will run low settings at 1080p with 35-60fps depending on the config (*50 usually have GDDR3 vs GDDR5 on *60)

Give me a budget. Lot's of good laptops are cheap

[lolgame123]

For now it's about 600$...and very slowly increasing ...but I could go to about 800$

Perfect. For 800$ or slightly less this.

There's an upcoming Linus video on the Dell Inspire 15 700 (already up on Vessel).

You should take a look it has much better specs than this one and it's only $800.

There at also more expensive i7 and touch screen models, but in the basic one you get an i5 6300-HQ, 8 gigs of single channel RAM (one free slot for expansion), a 1TB HDD and a 960M 4 gig.

You can pop of the bottom plate with 1 screw and then add or remove RAM and the HDD. There's also an empty M.2 slot.

The screen is 1080p IPS with very solid colors and viewing angles. The construction is OK, nothing special. The keyboard, Linus says, is mushy and the buttons are wobbly (I don't really mind those kind of things myself) and the mouse pad (he says) is really bad, it even doesn't detect gentle touches sometimes.

The color is black with red accents, personally I think it looks really nice, especially for the price. There is also a red version for more expensive models.
