I’d appreciate some assistance in finding a budget gaming laptop from a reliable source. I can pop into BestBuy (who enjoys that anyway!) or Canada Computers but are there alternatives? I’m look for something to play older games, like strategy games as wargames, but I’m not bothered about the latest games. I also want to do some development, likely using Eclipse+Java and also use docker-compose in VirtualBox. Maybe I’ll also mess around with Unity3 or the Unreal engine.
A reasonable spec is: 16 or 32Gb 512Gb+ SSD Decent discrete GFX card but not the latest Current or previous gen AMD or Intel 2+ USB 3 ports FHD monitor Nothing too heavy though I won’t be travelling Budget is probably $1100+tax
Is that reasonable? Thoughts and suggestions greatly appreciated.
Good point. Unthought the regular Legion cost much more than the Legion Slim. I was looking at the base Legion 5 Slim, as I might be able to stretch to that. Is there a huge performance difference from the Legion Slim 5 to the Legion 5? Or is it more about material and build quality and cooling?
Over the past 10 years or so I’ve noticed Asus quality go down quite a bit but legions seem the take the bearing of gaming alot better than the ROG do.
Is the regular Legion a decent jump in quality over the Slim? There doesn’t seem to be much difference in specs.
