Hello,

 

I am looking for a new laptop. I dont have too many specifications for what it needs to have but I will be doing the following things on that laptop. I will be using programs such as Microsoft Word and playing games like CS:GO. I will also be watching YouTube videos. All help is much appreciated! Please let me know.


Regards,

Richard

Tell your budget and batterylife expectations and so on, if you only want it to run csgo the go for something with a 940m minimun,that´ll also run most triple a games at 720p, but give more info about what you need the we can help more.

Ok, so I've put a little more thought into my specifications. I can spend no more than $2000 USD. I expect around 8 hours of battery, I'm also open to Macbooks since I love the macOS. I also want something that looks very nice like the MacBook Pro and Razer Blade Stealth do.Please let me know.

The XPS 15 with the larger battery and 1080p display is good.

What about the Razer Blade Stealth? I'm willing to lower the batter expectation to 6 1/2 hours.

I heard it ain't really good for gaming due to its puny CPU and heat problems. Don't quote me on the heat problems tho.

It's an ultrabook. When your bench it, it overheats just like the Razer Blade. Has an integrated GPU so its a crappy intel one. 

If you're going playing CSGO, a 950m or 960m is more than enough. If you have 2000 to spend, then an XPS15 1080p 84w battery version is perfect for your uses.
