Laptop Replacement Thoughts
Post Body

My birthday is coming up soon and so is the 5 year anniversary of my current laptop.

It got me thru a lot of games but it's starting to show its age. For one thing it has a very terrible processor, Intel i3 - 6100 U 2.3 GHz, and of course being just a normal work/school laptop, it has an Intel HD Graphics Card instead of an actual video card. T'was fine for a while but more and more games seems to be more demanding CPU wise and there's only so much forcing the game to go windowed mode and playing in a resolution 10% lower can do.

I'm not really looking for an actual gaming laptop, heck the games I have queued up to want to play I hope aren't actually demanding. It's just a mix of strategy games that just run too slowly on my current laptop or have their over-all look be just too unappealing at a lower graphics setting.

I tend to move around a lot so I'd rather get something I can easily bring with me.

Anyway here's the stuff I do want to play, mind you I'm still mostly fine with just going Windowed Mode at 90% of my Resolution Size (Which I do since I tend to multi-task anyway while playing vidya)

  • Men of War Assault Squad II (I already stutter playing the 1st Assault Squad game when I checked out the demo)
  • XCOM 2
  • Dustwind
  • Baldur's Gate III
  • Divinity Original Sin 2
  • Disco Elysium
  • Wasteland 3

At best I hope I can get something not too expensive (Like ok, I don't want to breach $1000 which may still be small I think? Like I can go up there but I'd rather not since I still have insurance and I do want to move to another apartment sometime soon)
