My laptop is 7 years old starting to show it’s age. I’m worried it will die soon so I’ve been looking for a replacement, but DAMN are decent laptops expensive these days.
I would like something powerful enough to play stuff like Elden Ring, Baldur’s Gate 3 and FF:7 Rebirth (And most importantly, Monster Hunter Wilds when it comes out) at a decent framerate. It also has to be a university laptop, so nothing covered in RGB lights that looks like an Alienware fucked a Cybertruck, please.
I don’t want to spend a ton of money, but am I being unrealistic? I don’t want to spend 5000 on a computer, that’s ridiculous, my car cost less than that.
Yes it’s a shitty car, that’s not the point. Stop judging my poor ass.
I would suggest going to a store and trying out the demo model laptops IRL before buying. You can physically see things like weight, build quality, whether the screen is too reflective, whether the whole thing flexes, and get hands on experience of how fast it can run a web browser.
