I'm looking to buy a laptop to play games on. Do you think

What games?

>>224787
The three most intensive games I play are GTA V Online, Payday 2, and Borderlands 2. But I'm also hoping this doesn't get antiquated in a year.

>>224788
Processor is good but the GPU is worse than the recommended one for GTA V.

>>224793
I think the graphics card is the best I can afford. Any higher than that jumps up hundreds of dollars.

Are you sure you checked the i5-7200U, not the i5-7200HQ?

>>224799
I'm sure I checked the i5-7200U and next year the mobile 1050 ti is coming out so if you can I would wait for that.

>>224778
Processor is fine. You should be able to run anything on at least half settings, if not 3/4.

Thanks for the advice, but I'm on a budget, I also need it for schoolwork, and I can't wait another year for Black Friday deals.

>U processor
Do not but them unless you really want to save your battery power. That GPU will bottleneck your CPU and it will start thermal throttling after 1 hour of gaming.

Bull fucking shit.

It has the exact same TDP as every other Skylake; if the laptop can't cool it, it can't cool any processor.

>>224778
No, it's trash.

The 9xxm GPUs are trash. There are laptops with 10xx GPUs, the exact same GPUs that go in desktops. Yet you're about to buy a laptop with a GPU that's obsolete right now.

What this guy said.

>>224778

Got a link?

Thanks for the input, but I know desktops do more for less. I'm not planning on taking it around campus, just around my house. I don't have room for a desktop.

Looking at another one, the specs are

i5-6300HQ
8GB 2133 Hz ram
1 TB hard drive 7200 RPM
NVIDIA GeForce 960M graphics card

Not OP and don't mean to jack the thread but is there a big difference between the i5-6200u and the i5-7200u? It's a gen above but I'm not really sure how different they are. Anyone know?

>>224778
Also OP this might not help a whole lot but this machine has somewhat similar specs and there's a breakdown of some gaming performance there. Maybe you could find the laptop you're looking at on this site too to see how it handles games

Don't worry. It won't become obsolete in the future because it already is.
