Hey guys,
I’m sure there’s a billion trillion threads like this but I don’t really have time right now to seek them out. I’m just looking for advice about what would be a good gaming laptop for someone who has no idea about this stuff and has always played on consoles.
Basically, I need -
- something powerful enough to run games like Skyrim special edition, maybe the outer worlds, fallout and the odd shooter. Also powerful enough for future iterations of these series’ e.g. TES VI, Skywind
- cheap enough that it won’t break the bank. I have no idea what is considered cheap and I heard expensive is like £1100/$1200
- doubles as a normal laptop if possible. I’m not sure if gaming laptops, as opposed to big gaming computers, actually exist.
- can be connected to monitors.
- works with a gaming console controller if possible
While I would appreciate if someone could explain this to me like I’m an idiot, and I won’t know about lots of technical things like what CPUs and GPUs are, please don’t be aggressive in your responses. I find that in many forums, helpful discussion is immediately blown off course by aggressive declarations of ‘you really should know X’/‘how dare you, a new person, post this in this section rather than that one’. I’m just a bit new here and looking for advice and the chance to be part of a helpful community.
Thanks!
