Forums - PC Discussion - Need advice - which (Gaming-)Laptop should I get?

Hey Boys,

it's been a while.

My current Laptop is not really doing its job anymore and I need a new one and YES, it has to be a Laptop, because I am using it at work as well.
But I play during my lunchbreaks and every now and then, so I need a decent one.


Games I want to play:

  • Farthest Frontier (highly recommend it btw)
  • Counter Strike 2
  • Maybe Call of Duty Warzone

I don't want to spend too much money on it, since I have an okayish Gaming PC at home (Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 super).
Can you recommend me a decent system for ~1,500€ that can play these games easily?

Thank you!



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

It depends, those titles are not that demanding. if you go for a dedicated GPU a solution with an RTX 4050 will be sufficient. You can even have a decent gaming experience on a recent laptop APU.
Since you're using it for work I'll suggest Lenovo, I love their designs and reliability, and in my opinion, fits a working environment better than some others, especially with models with some gaming capabilities (their legion lineup).

Below I used Lenovo France because it was easier to navigate for me but I believe you'll find the equivalent in other countries and hopefully with the same pricing. I think Lenovo site links are all standardized so you just have to replace the /fr/fr part with your country code to have an equivalent offering.

Lenovo Yoga 7735U (full Radeon 680m) 16 GB (999 (FR) (they're a configurable version but I'll go with the basic one, it features the best variant of CPU, and the configurable one does not let you upgrade the ram either )

Legion 5 With 16GB and RTX 4050 (1583 (FR))
https://www.lenovo.com/fr/fr/p/laptops/legion-laptops/legion-pro-series/legion-pro-5i-gen-8-(16-inch-intel)/82wkcto1wwfr1

Legion 5 With 32 GB RAM and a very potent RTX4070 (1899€ (FR)) That's the one I'd go for, but I work & primarily game on a laptop 
https://www.lenovo.com/fr/fr/p/laptops/legion-laptops/legion-pro-series/legion-pro-5i-gen-8-(16-inch-intel)/82wk001hfr

I'm not too familiar with European pricing but all option above seems reasonable and in line with their capabilities especially since they all feature some discount right now.

A RTX 4060 upwards would give ample room.

Quality build laptops highly customizable depending on your needs.




I recommend any of the Lenovo laptops

I would suggest an RTX 4060 or an RX 7600S as a minimum configuration due to the VRAM for future titles. Also, 16GB of RAM should be minimum, as well as some expandable storage if less than 1 TB.

As such, here are my suggestions:

HP Victus: https://www.notebooksbilliger.de/hp+victus+15+fa1158ng+807975 comes an i5 12500H and an RTX 4060, as well as 512GB Storage and 16GB VRAM, plus 144hz display, B&O sound system and an SD card reader for just 999€ right now

MSI Thin GF63: https://www.notebooksbilliger.de/msi+thin+gf63+12vf+290+821282 very similar to the Victus above, apart from an i7 12650 instead of the i5, and a bit more connectivity instead of the card reader. All just for 1045€ right now.

MSI Bravo 15: https://www.notebooksbilliger.de/msi+bravo+15+c7vfk+230+811164 Similar to the Thin, but with a Ryzen 7 7735HS instead of the Intel CPU and reduced connectivity for 1049€

ASUS TUF A16: https://www.notebooksbilliger.de/asus+tuf+a16+fa617ns+n3003w+800412 My current laptop, running on a Ryzen 7 7735HS and an RX 7600S, so an all-AMD system. A 16:10 1920x1200 resolution) system with an USB 4 connector for currently 1199€. Also exists in a variant with the new Ryzen 7 7840HS, 1TB SSD and 7700S for 100€ more.

Lenovo ThinkPad P16: https://www.notebooksbilliger.de/studentenprogramm/lenovo+thinkpad+p16s+gen2+21k9000fge+campus+816206 Don't need a dedicated GPU? This laptop comes with the newest Ryzen 7 7840H and the integrated Radeon 780M, which comes pretty close to a GTX 1650 in performance. It's more intended for professionals, as it's integrated SmartCard reader attests, but it's powerful enough for your games in full HD and should have longer battery life than gaming laptops with discrete GPUs, and comes with additional security features. All this for the price of 1269€

My suggestions are either the MSI Thin or the ASUS TUF A16 variant with the 7840HS

I'll be real with you though, I can't promise that everything with be dealt with, all we have at the moment is one Admin coder but in case that changes I'll create a handy table here for peoples suggestions and maybe for some more critical fixes, Bandorr can fix them in the immediate future. I've also a personal interest in creating this thread, I wanted to run some of my own ideas not discussed with other Admins to gauge community reactions.

Wrong thread maybe?
