I know I know but I have a low budget :( link me a good laptop then please :p

It’s hard to link to any good laptops without testing them, this one looks good & cheap on paper, but might be shit

laptop on far right (don’t know how good the 1GB radeon 550v is I remember it being a re-badged 4650, check this)

always go down dell xps route

THe problem is that laptops just aren’t built for gaming. Laptops are generally more expensive for their power, because everything has to be made a smaller and lighter, which invariably is more expensive. So for a ‘good’ gaming latop, you’d need to pay quite a lot compared to a pc with the same specs.

Just to clarify no dells please I’m not a fag… every dell I’ve had has had problems with the motherboard.

well I don’t want my fps to ever go below 40-50 in 6v6 is this a reasonable goal or should I aim lower for my budget

I initially put a six year old graphics card in my new i5 build in june at a price of ~€500 and got 100 stabil fps, and I payed more than necessary to get quality parts with good warrenty. A new graphics card for €300 got it up to 200 stabil fps. Not sure about laptops, this was a stationary build, but considering this I find it hard to believe you wouldn’t get half of the fps i got for €500 stationary back then, with a €800 laptop.

Well my processor isn’t exactly breaking world records either(2.0ghz dual core) anyways I want to get a good solid laptop which will run at 50-60 stable(no dropping under) but more is always appreciated ;3 I’ve had to leave games sometimes because my fps goes so bad (less than 8)
