New Laptop from Argos

rockmongrel

Hey all. I have a couple of hundred in Argos vouchers and am looking to get a new laptop. I know next to nothing about laptops and specs and am just wondering if there is anything available at the moment from them in the 600 -1000 range that would be a good all round laptop that would be able to handle games pretty well? Mostly strategy games (Paradox, Creative Assembly etc.) but also The Sims 4. Cheers for any help!

You're 1149 before you even get into 1050ti (Video card) territory with them sadly and you really want an i7 for strat games.

Can you use the vouchers online?
This Acer Nitro 5 is a good deal (€830)

RX 560X graphics card is a bit better than the GTX 1050 in more expensive models (and 2-3 times better than the MX 150).

Spend the remainder on a HyperX Fury or Logitech mouse pad & Logitech G305 wireless gaming mouse.
