What is the most affordable gaming laptop featuring a discrete GPU?
Hi,
I’m not very familiar with laptops, but I need a budget gaming machine with specific specs:
CPU – any model
GPU – GTX 1050, GTX 1050 ti, GTX 1060, GTX 1650 or GTX 1660
RAM – at least 8GB
Storage – 256GB SSD preferred
Manufacturer – any brand, doesn’t matter
Budget around $650.
Help would be really appreciated. Thanks!
Your top choice could be a used model. Avoid anything with less than 6gb of video RAM, like the 1060 6gb or 1660 class GPU. According to the 3050ti reviews, 4gb is insufficient unless you significantly lower the settings. If it doesn’t concern you, this unit should function.
Is that a $900? (Please confirm) It might sound a bit strange, but I've never used Amazon before. I'll purchase this model from the local store if it fits my budget. 6GB of VRAM is really helpful for me. I don't usually play very demanding AAA games from 2021, but something like DayZ and Squad works. I've noticed people running those on an ultra setting with 60+ FPS (on a GTX 1060 Desktop), so the mobile version should be fine too. I can't afford the latest high-end cards that are way overpriced. Thanks a lot! 😉
