No. Go to /g/'s pc building general for questions like this.

That's not bad actually. Will probably overheat like a bitch but nothing unmanageable.

You could find it for less, but not a lot. And take this in consideration, CPU/GPU aren't upgradable, eventually 8GB RAM will be on the low side but that you can upgrade.

If you already have a keyboard, a decent monitor... Consider building a upgradable desktop for that kind of money.
>>
>>380264253
For a laptop at that price it is good. For games I think that would run 2017 releases at about medium settings. You will get a lot of people memeing about custom desktops.
>>
>>380263786
Try to get something with a 1060, at least, if you want to play vidya on it.
>>
no

dont fall for the laptop gaming meme
>>
Terrible deal. I have similar specs and a 960m in my work laptop for just under $500.
>>
>>380264487
What if most intensive vidya I want to play is CS and sometimes planetary annihilation?
>>
>>380264535
What is your work laptop then?
Was the cost subsidised by your company?

BF4 ultra at 50fps.

Knock it down to high and it's steady 60

The only problem with that laptop would probably overheating.

You're forgetting that external gpus are a thing.

No way, you can barely even do that with a desktop GTX 950.

Paid for myself. I use it for work, small business. I don't use it for games I have a desktop for that. It's solid for GIS work though in the field.

Dell had it for $490 a few months ago.

>>380263786
I got a 960m for around the price.
>>
No. The card is fairly weak. Will most likely run at low settings for newer releases.

I would personally go for a desktop because of the better price to performance ratio but if you must get a laptop, I'm sure you can find better for the same price if you look.
>>
>>380264564
You should be fine with the laptop in the OP, then. It's good enough to run gen 7 games on high settings, and cross gen games on med/low.

Dell 15" 7000 inspiron. It's not on sale anymore, but I've seen similar ones pop up in the $500-600 range recently.

Dell had one for like $600 that had a 1050 in it a few weeks ago. Go search "gaming laptops" on slickdeals and look at what they've gone for in the past to see what you're money gets you.
>>
>>380264904
Nvidia's 1000 series cards for laptops are only 5-10% slower than desktop versions.
>>
>>380265520
That's low settings as normal is the lowest in gta v
>>
Desktops should be big and powerful

Laptops should be small and portable with long battery lives

If you pay extra money for a less powerful, less portable computer that will cook itself to death in a year you deserve what you get.

Play games on your desktop. Or play games on your laptop like CSGO and DOTA that'll run on anything. Or play games on your desktop and use Steam offscreen play to stream them to your laptop.
>>
>>380263786
it's alright and can play just about anything decently, but you can already find machines with desktop GTX 1050 and 1050ti on it for around the same price.
>>
>>380263786
Because it's a laptop it's not so bad. If you had those specs for a tower PC it would be fucking awful though.

Then get an XPS or even a fucking Macbook Air

Or do what you're going to do, ignore all the advice you're given, buy that overpriced plasticky piece of shit, burn it out in a year and then bitch that /v/ gave you bad advice and you were right all along

I'm never going to buy a macbook.
And I doubt I'll burn this out

Dedicated graphics on laptops are always housefires. It's simple physics, more confined space smaller heatsink.

Whatever runs an equivalent desktop card to 50 degrees will run a laptop to 90 degrees+

No fuck off it's garbage that belongs in the bin

You're welcome.

>>380267846
That's trash too
>>
>>380266542
It's a meme because they're inexpensive durable laptops with good battery life and processing power and great keyboards.

Laptop manufacturers always neglect the keyboard.
>>
>>380264127
apply thermal paste in case of that

>>380267220
>>380267309
How long would you expect this to last then?
What if I
a) Only use it for programming
b) Only play games as bad as Counter Strike
>>
>>380268609
Then you should get a business class laptop with integrated graphics that'll be cheaper, run cooler, have a more durable body and a much longer battery life

Acer laptops have notoriously poor build quality all around

A craptop? no you are better off making a desktop. If it's games you care about anyways.
>>
Also if you don't own a desktop at all you can get a retired Optiplex or Thinkcentre with an i5 Sandy Bridge under the hood and drop a GeForce 1050ti in it for under $250 total and it will murder 99% of all laptops in the world
>>
>>380269448
A lot of these have several different makes, the most recent of which seems to cost as much as laptop in OP.
Which series?

For the price it isn't bad for a laptop, only get a laptop if absolutely mandatory

Don't expect to play AAA games on it though
>>
>>380270027
Get a desktop and then some cheap chrombook or something. Gaymen lapturds are a meme in every possible sense.
>>
>>380265379
why buy a laptop with a mobile gpu in it if you are just gonna use it for work. a fucking 300 dollar integrated is all you need for work. Why pay the extra dough? Unless you do some really high intesive stuff like animation but why the fuck are you getting a intel for that and a 950m aint gonna hold up to the task anyways.
>>
>>380270212
I already have a desktop
Also fuck chromebooks I want to be able to use my computer without being online.
>>
>>380270259
You read the GIS part, but still posted this. Not sure what he's using, but some GIS software is designed to use Nvidia hardware even.
>>
>>380270027
see
>>380270212

Don't waste your money on an expensive laptop, it's going to be way inferior to an actual gaming desktop. You can get a nice desktop gaming solution for like $600, and there are a number of laptops you can get for a couple hundred bucks that will do just fine for emails and web browsing.

My friends play CS and are too poor to get a LAN setup, so when I come over I wanna be able to play CS on a laptop.
Also I do programming and shit so I need disk space
>>
>>380270539
it's not intensive though. You can still run it on low budget laptops. But you know if he wants to be the big dick normie in front of his co workers with a fancy craptop at work, whatever floats his boat.
>>
>>380263786
You can buy a Sager NP7850/Clevo N850HP6 for $999 and it has a GTX 1060 and i7.
>>
>>380270980
Alright be a dumb sack of shit then, what the fuck do I care. Spend way more than necessary to get a laptop that will perform much worse than an actual computer with a shitty small monitor so you can play CS of all things on it.
>>
>>380271459
Thx
>>
high in price
you're pretty much paying for the processor since it's current gen
get a 6k series i5 and a 1050m or something similar
