Hey. I want to get a budget laptop which will help me do some stuff. Gaming is one of them.

 

Here are the specs:

i3 6006u

4GB RAM (I can add more)

Nvidia 940mx I believe it is GDDR5 2GB

500GB or 1TB HDD

768p screen

 

Now here are my PC specs:

Intel Core 2 Duo E7500

2x2GB DDR2 RAM

Nvidia 9600GT 1GB

1280x1024 screen

 

Will my FPS in current games double? or triple? what should I expect? on the native resolutions of course.

Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 @3.3Ghz | Asus P5Q SE2 775 Socket | Asus Geforce 9600GT 1GB @700Mhz | 2x2GB DDR2 800MHZ RAM | 400w Codogen PSU | 310GB Seagate 7200.10

Even for $500 USD, A) that CPU is pathetic, B) GPU is alright but it's not good for gaming, C) there is no reason in 2017 for why a laptop should have a craptastic 1366x768 screen.

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

nah, not paying $500 for last gen stuff that doesnt do things well. Also your frame rates will not double. I'd get a cheap laptop that's only good for paper work, then buy a new graphics card (PSU as well if needed) for the PC. The weak CPU can be improved with the tape mod (unless it is a prebuilt system).

It really depends on what games you are trying to run. Could you give a few examples of what you would play?

 

You might want to consider investing your money towards a desktop, or at least a laptop with Thunderbolt. The screens on a newly purchased laptop should really be 1080p.

I will probably get a new PC in August for demanding AAA games. I just want to play some indies or games that came out before 2014. Overwatch and ect.

Is i5 7200U much different than that CPU?

 

EDIT*: Yeah with that CPU I have to pay $100 extra so nope.

You're not going to be able to run games like Overwatch on a 940MX very well. If you are considering buying this laptop brand new, I would stay clear of it. Save your money towards hardware for your new build.

So there is no way that I can play Overwatch on low-medium settings with native resolution to achieve ~70fps?

And thats with a 45 watt i7 in a larger (better cooled) laptop.

15w i3 in what I pressume to be an ultrabook will perform way worse.

 

At that price point you’re probably better of buying a (2nd hand) xbox one + chromebook (you can install ubuntu on it if you want to).

OR: build a desktop from 2nd hand parts and remote desktop into it from a university PC.

False. I have a laptop with a 940mx and it will run it medium settings 60+ FPS.

Performance from a 940MX largely relies on the other components in your system. OP's system of choice will not run games such as Overwatch very well.
