Alright so here's my situation:
I'm going to be getting $1000 to spend on a computer in a couple months and I need your help choosing one. The catch is I'm only gonna be able to spend it on a laptop because of circumstance. Pic related is one I have my mind on. So I have two questions:
Will pic related be able to run GTAV/ Online at at least a consistent 30fps and would you guys have any suggestions?

"Gaming laptops" are garbage. I assume this is for school? It would be better to have two computers: One small lightweight laptop for class/school work, and one gaming computer in the dorm.

Yeah, it might run some games on medium-high settings while the GPU & CPU both run at >90° C.

Or you could not be a retard and not use a laptop for gaming.

you should consider buying a cheap chromebook for mobile use and a desktop you build for gaming. too many compromises make gaming laptops shit unless you go for really good models.

Best buy is also a good way to get fucked on prices for what you get.

Exactly this. That 1050 isn't worth shit and you'll be woefully outdated before you even leave the store. Putting that in a "gaming" laptop is a disgrace and a perfect example of why people advise against buying them.

Don't buy a laptop for games.

Get the cheapest possible word processing machine, then spend the rest on a home PC.

That gtx 1050M won't even play minecraft at 30fps.

yep, afaik the GTX 1050 can run the game at 60fps no problem

> and would you guys have any suggestions?
only buy a laptop for gaymen if you really really need the portability, you can get the "same hardware" for half of the price if you get a desktop instead, as well as having infinitely better cooling (cooling is very compromised in a laptop)

also, ignore the shitters dissing you, there's people out there who really need something portable or like being able to move around the house too much (I was one of these, but after I got my desktop I never looked back)

also if you're afraid that laptop can't run GTAV properly, just google benchmarks (GTX 1050 GTAV benchmark), you'll see that it runs the game at 60
>>
>>388781946
I meant $200 for motherboard and ram

$1000 will buy you a lot better for a desktop than a laptop, anon. I hope you can reconsider.

Please do not waste 1000 dollars on 300 dollars worth of hardware that isnt upgradable, do some fucking research and build your own computer.

you are a student. ether being bought a laptop by the government or your parents. 1 you should be studying. 2 gaming laptops are a scam.
>>
>>388776708
No one has answered, but yes it will be able to run GTA 5 at 1080p at 60fps, just not at ultra settings.

Though $1000 for a 1050 is not worth the money. You're better off saving it until you're able to build a dedicated gamijg desktop PC.
>>
>>388776708
>Gtx 1050
Well it's going to be the mobile version which has reduced specs, but it's still going to be a pretty powerful card. Should run GTA V around 60 fps. Alright question answered thread over everyone go home.

I got €800 to spend on a laptop because I was required to have at least an i5 8 gigs of ram and an ssd. Enjoy buying another laptop next year because your $300 laptop will be literally unusable after a year.
>>
There's nothing wrong with paying a little extra for a laptop with a dedicated mobile GPU so you can do some light gaming on the go, but don't be an idiot and fall for the gaming laptop meme. Look for on under $500 and save the rest. I got an Acer laptop that comes with a 940MX and i5 7500u for $450 and it more than gets the job done when playing New Vegas away from home. Just don't be expecting to play the latest games and you're fine.
>>
>>388776708
In a few months Ryzen laptops should be out, that's the clear winner

Also trash, try for a 1060 or 470/570

>>388776845

Yeah, if he's at the front of the line and waits for ten hours, he might actually get the one laptop in stock for 10% off.

>gaming laptop

Okay, stop lying to yourself and admit you do not need a gaming laptop. Don't try to justify it, don't make excuses and say "ohh I can only have one" "oh it has to be portable"

That gaming laptop will just become a doorstop in two years, be a complete waste pit of money, will overheat to hell, be heavy as fuck, have piss poor battery life, and just be all around a big package of regret.

If you need a compact high powered PC, just make an ITX build. You can make them as small as a 12 pack of beer and will be fairly light and highly portable for LANs and such.

As for the laptop, just use that $1000 and get an actual high quality decently built laptop and don't focus so much on gaming.
