I'm trying to find my son a gaming laptop, please if anyone has some spare time could you throw some recommendations at me if thats ok!
my budget is around £500-£700 which i know is kinda low for a gamin laptop but all i can spare at the moment

a bit rusty gaming laptops at the moment but if it plays latest games on good settings then thats great, dont have to be on ultra etc.

huge thanks for any info at all

These will run at this budget, have to turn the settings down, but at 1080p won't have to turn down the quality settings too much. It's a very capable machine and will last a few years no problem

thanks very much for that i will look around for that.

Does it have to be a laptop? You can get some pretty capable desktops, particularly in the used market around your budget.

yeah im afraid so as he has no room in his bedroom for a pc setup

, and he mostly likes to game in the living room

my other son has a pc but im still behind on that has hes still got a rx580 which is still running very well even on newer games but was trying to find a cheap price 6600/Xt as budget won't allow higher and that should do the trick unless all games start becoming more UE5 based

yeah theres no space at the moment

at all for a pc so laptop is only way

Is a console an option? Could just put up a monitor when needed (Which would be a bigger / better ergonomically)

All of those games are on console (bar GW2) - Mw3, fortnite, have mouse and keyboard support too if that's a dealbreaker, just an idea

Performance of an Xbox SX or Ps5 would be much greater.

cheers, yeah thats a good thought i might consider that well have a chat to my son about it and see what happens

if not i will most likely try go for that laptop.

The ram and SSD can be upgraded only

thanks thats good news to know as i would have liked it to have 1tb but if can get another later then thats cool

shame didnt have room or i would have built a pc for him but i just dont

. and then im not sure what i would get these days for around £800 as i last updated our pcs in 2020 but had to wait to grab a few 6600xt's

and i do never buy second after some awful bad buys on flea land some years ago
