Budget gaming laptops suggestions?
Budget gaming laptops suggestions?
Your budget is approximately 3.5k AED, which converts to around 950 USD. I’d prefer to spend less if possible.
The notebook size you’re thinking about should be as small as feasible, but I’d rather it be no larger than 15 inches if it affects performance.
You’re looking for a screen resolution of 1920 x 1080p at 120Hz, which should suffice.
You need a portable laptop rather than a desktop, and it shouldn’t be too heavy for me to carry around.
A battery life of about 3 hours would be sufficient; I’d prefer to charge it wherever possible.
If you’re planning to play games, please list the titles and the settings you’d like for them (Low, Medium or High).
Medium to High performance would be ideal.
You’d like to use the laptop for tasks such as photo/video editing, streaming, and some video editing.
A 256 GB SSD would be perfect; I already have several spare 2.5" HDDs.
If you’re considering specific websites to purchase from, please share the links. Anywhere is fine, I’m searching for more affordable options.
I don’t have a clear timeline—maybe I’ll give it to my brother after a year or so.
I’m not sure about the type of optical drive you need; I’m open to DVD ROM/Writer, Bluray ROM/Writer, etc.
No particular brands are preferred, but I wanted to hear opinions before making a choice.
You’re living in the United Arab Emirates.
Any extra details would be appreciated. Thank you all!
Here’s a revised version of your text:
Consider the Msi GF65 Thin 9SD-252US, paired with an Intel Core i7-9750H, 120Hz refresh rate, 8GB RAM, a 512GB SSD, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660Ti 6GB graphics card, a 15.6-inch Full HD screen, Windows 10 64-bit operating system, and an English keyboard in black color. This is the best price available in UAE, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah (microless.com).
Even though it features an Intel 9th generation CPU, this setup offers a solid performance for 1080p high-detail gaming. I own a laptop with these specifications and enjoy playing games such as BF V (high settings, around 100 FPS depending on the map), F1 2019 Ultra with FPS between 115-144, COD Warfare, Doom, and Pro Golf. All of these games run exceptionally well on it.
To make it suitable for mobile gaming, you’d just need an additional 8GB of RAM.
Note: The listing mentions a base clock of 2.2GHz and a maximum boost of 4.1GHz, but this information is inaccurate. The CPU is actually a 6-core/12-thread processor with a base clock of 2.6GHz and a boost clock of 4.5GHz.
Thanks for the suggestion, it's a bit beyond my budget but I'm open to thinking about it seriously.
I noticed an Amazon listing for something similar priced almost the same as this one. Do you think it offers a better value?
