New laptop advice

[sprunk]

Hi guys.I am looking to buy a new laptop soon.It will mainly be used for boring work stuff though I would like to be able to do some casual gaming on it as well.I don't need it to play the latest triple a games though I would like to be able to do some gaming. I was looking for something with a core i7. Should I be looking for something with a dedicated graphics chip or do you think the Intel graphics will be enough to get by on.

Thanks.

depends what games at what resolutions

 

something like League or Dota and CS will run on anything, but something like GTA, nope.

I am pretty sure the Kaby Lake iGPU is enough to do even more 'heavy' gaming but ehh

 

If you want performance, make sure you're not getting a Y or U series i5/i7. Intel has renamed their m5/m7 CPUs to i5/i7.

Y = really shit, like 7w 1.5ghz.

U = ultra shit, 15w 2.4ghz

 

M/HQ the way to go

Hi. I was looking to play older stuff like Bioshock, Crysis and Far Cry. At 1080 if possible.

get a dell Inspiron 7000 with an i7 and a 1050ti or an xps 15, quote people when you are talking to them.
