Getting a new computer to run TS

Post by hopesanchor131 »

Hi everyone,

I am looking to buy a new gaming laptop to primarily run TS 2017, I have found a laptop which is within my price range and wondered if you could advise me please?

This is the computer I have found: http://www.ebuyer.com/748760-msi-gl62-6 ... 16j612-409

It's worth noting I'm not looking for something that will give me ultra high details etc but would like something that can run medium - high with scenery details high and getting at least 30fps.

Thank you.

Does it need to be a laptop as generally you get way better performance for cheaper with desktops due to space, cooling and other constraints laptops have.

Unfortunately yes, I have no room for a desktop computer.

That's not a bad lappy at all; should run TS quite happily.
Don't get too hung up on frame rates though, a smooth 20FPS is far better than a jerky 30FPS---don't worry about the number, but what you experience on screen.

I have ordered it with next day delivery, it's been shipped and should be with me in the morning.

Very excited!
