not really, high end hardware in a laptop isn't cheap

>>376867174
indie pixel shitware that will prob run better on your phone

>>376867263
Fine fuck it I'll just get a cheaper laptop and a Switch. Fuck PC gaming.

Emulation

>>376867356
That's a decent choice, anon.

>>376867356
well, fuck laptop gaming

>>376867356
Unless you want to play indie shit and older titles and emulators, it really is the better option.
And I'm not praising the Switch, I'm saying gaming laptops are dumb.

>>376867174
Is this the hot new symbol of the alt-national socialists?

I know theres a version with an ssd for a similar price but I can't be assed to find it. You'll be able to play all your meme games (overwatch cs go etc) older games and any well optimized new game on dog shit settings.

Nigga whom'st'd thou work at a refurb/ recylcing company here.

Look for shit that still POSTs on ebay or craigslist check local electronics recylcer/ resellers, maybe something with physical damage to the case but intact function, and get down and dirty to fix the thing.
Cherry pick the hell out of listings and find something cheap that you can take an hour or two to slap a new screen on and be up and running.

Dell, HP, whoever CAD & work station laptops are great for gaming.


Dug up a Dell Precision M6600, installed Antergos, and use it as my base now and my desktop is just a steam stream & media host.

From 2010-2011, maybe. Gayman laptops are both ridiculously expensive and underpowered as fuck. If you don't mind playing old games then you should be OK. Intel graphics can do impressive things nowadays.

Used in ebay I found some i3-3XXX with 3Gb Ram.

This is enough for some older games.
I used to play Oblivion without major graphics mods and Stalker in one of these.
It cannot run a PS2 emulator reliably.
Fallout 3 was playable without lag at low settings.

you can get used notebooks with an i7 3740QM which should be pretty beasty for emulation


like this for example

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Latitude-E6430-1600x900-i7-3740QM-8GB-256GB-SSD-WebCam-Backlit-KB-nVidia-5-/162495177558?hash=item25d577a356:g:o0kAAOSw-0xYaDJn

You could wait and see if there will be any Ryzen 3 APU laptops that could do light gaming, but that'd be quite a bit now. The APU skews aren't out yet.

Go to $700 for your work laptop and you could probably play current releases.

>>376867174
yes, that's why pc gaming is so easy. just plug and play

Fuck pepe but I can get behind it if there are other Boys Club characters instead. Landwolf is the most similar in personality to what the pepe ones have him doing. Pepe is the most beta of Boys Club, he doesn't act smug or anything close.

Definitely possible but if you go up to more like $600 you'd be set. I have a 4(?) year old laptop with an i5, 6gb ram and some generic Intel 4000 integrated graphics and it can run certain games. Skyrim on low is playable and something less intense like WoW is decent. This was laptop that was like 550 4 years ago

if OP were as autistic as you he wouldn't ask in the first place

>>376867174
You'll be playing the kind of toxic F2P trash that attracts third worlders and their toasters, and on low-to-medium settings at that.

That and emulators up to the PSone, so it's not all bad news.

Any 4th gen mobile Intel core that's at least 2 GHz can emulate GC games.

no it's just a nigger cartoon drawn by a closet furry

>>376867174
You buy a 300 dollar laptop and you're going to have trouble running Youtube videos.

I was able to play source engine games pretty decently with a 500 leafland bux laptop. Portal games, dota and tf2 ran well if you fixed the settings.

A little autism goes a long way.
A full gaming laptop and all associated parts for under 200 can't be beat.

>>376873483
Yea but he clearly doesn't have the skills or patience to do any of that shit, it's probably some 15 year old retard

>>376873662
Costs nothing but a few minutes of my time.
Perhaps someone else can find my advice useful.

>>376867174
What kind of work

>>376873716
I do legislative work for a right-wing, pro-business national lobbying group. I mostly use my laptop for very basic stuff, but I keep it around all the time: writing, email, powerpoints, porn during lunch, etc.

>>376874272
Sounds like a Chromebook would work fine.

>>376867174
Not trying to be funny or anything but go on reddit and go on hardwareswap. You'll get really good deals on used electronics. And if you want to sell shit it's a good place as well. You'll be able to get a good laptop for 400.

>>376867886
But how do I know what's a dud and what's not? If it posts does that guarantee that it'll work if I replace the screen or some shit? What if the mobo is fucked?

>>376867715
This is exactly what i'm using right now actually, Can confirm that it CAN run new games if they optimized for it.

It can't run new shit like say - Dark Souls 3, I tried.

>>376874815
Oh yeah let me add that sound is a bit bad, not in sound-quality to say but the volume it can go.

FUCK OFF LANDWOLF!!! 4CHAN IS MY TERRITORY!!!!

get a used business laptop keep in mind that the battery might be in rough shape and make that the bios isnt locked and a decent resolution(anything but 1366*768) and at least a 3rd gen i5.
If it come with a HDD assume that it die.
