What laptop should I recommend for my daughter to explore more PC games?
Hello everyone,
I’m thinking about purchasing a laptop for my daughter. At the moment she mainly plays Roblox, but as she grows older she’s interested in more games, which makes me excited because I’m a PC gamer too.
I don’t have much experience with laptops—CPUs, GPUs, or anything technical—but I’m comfortable with desktops since I’ve always built my own. I’m weighing the idea of building her a desktop first, as she enjoys being mobile and wants to bring her laptop around the house. That way, she can visit her mom without needing a separate device.
She still loves Roblox but is also into games like Fortnite, Fortnite, Call of Duty: Mw3, Rocket League, and other Steam titles. She’d appreciate trying different games, especially something with good graphics. I want to keep her choices open for now so we don’t have to upgrade the laptop in two years.
I’m not looking for maximum graphics performance, but I don’t want to sacrifice smooth 60+ FPS. Any thoughts on what you think about these options? How would you rate the Acer model as a starting point? I know nothing about laptops, but I understand that the RTX 3050 Ti isn’t as powerful as a desktop GPU.
I’m also open to suggestions and would like to keep the budget around $800 or less, which brings me back to my current options at Best Buy or Amazon. Those offer good financing plans.
