Gaming laptop

Evertonianbhoy

Hi,

I am currently looking to purchase a gaming laptop for something to pass the time.

would anyone be able to help with which laptop I should go for? I would usually just play Warzone or FIFA that would mainly be the games. The below is the option I have.

ACER NITRO 5 Intel core I5, Gforce GTX 1650 with 4gb GDDR. 8gb RAM.

ASUS TUF GAMING AMD Ryzen 5 3550H with Radeon Vega mobile. 24gb RAM. GPU RX560X.

Going into a decision or looking for help on this, best to lead with what your budget is, then posters can advise you better 😀

I am currently buying this on adverts so it will be second hand. I can get both for 600 so just wondering which would be better.

Thanks,

If I was to buy a gaming laptop that doesn't break the bank it would be this

The Nitro is better but they're both absolutely crap buys for 600 2nd hand.

This is £579 brand new and better than either of them.

Is €600 your budget?

How often will you use the laptop?

I upgraded last May. Cost me €1080 during a sale. It was over my initial budget of 8-900, but well worth it in the end.

I play Total War, World of Tanks, X-Com, Battletech.

It runs very cool, not very noisy and is lighter than my previous 8 year old monster.

I plan to increase the hard drive to 1TB in 6-8 months.

There's a 17" version of that Katana going for £795 at the time of linking on Amazon UK!

Comes to €944 with custom charges applied at checkout!

I know it's a more than 50% onto your budget, so sorry for mentioning, but it looks impressive at the price!
