Looking for guidance on laptop specifications for League of Legends?
Hi there! I'm trying to find a good laptop to gift to a friend who had hers damaged. She's into League of Legends, so I need something that runs the game smoothly. I've checked three options on Banggood and want a quick idea of how each will perform. Thanks for your help!
The design suggests it's a netbook style device. It should handle league games, though expect slower performance. I've managed to play league on an Acer Iconia W5 before—Windows 8 tablet with an Atom CPU worked, but results weren't great. Could a used laptop be a better choice? Yes, you might find them at a lower price.
What's your budget? Most of these options require powerful CPUs for anything beyond basic web browsing and YouTube watching. Even LoL would struggle on any of them. If you're in the US, this would be a major upgrade compared to those alternatives. A Ryzen 5 would be excellent if you can afford it. Perhaps the last one you mentioned could work at 720p low settings, since LoL doesn't need that much performance. Still, if you have the budget, I'd recommend at least a Ryzen 3 laptop, and ideally a Ryzen 5 if possible.
I'm working within a limited budget right now, so saving is the priority. My previous devices aren't great, and I'm unsure what performance I can realistically expect. If I had more money saved, I'd probably look for better FPS numbers. What range do you think someone on an older laptop might achieve?
Only 30 frames per second using the minimum configurations. Upgrading to a better integrated graphics card could boost the numbers even further. This setup seems to align more closely with higher performance options.
