Looking for budget gaming laptop for MO2

[Komodor]

Hello, I'm looking for laptop that will handle MO2 on at least medium settings. My budget is +/- 1.000$. Anyone already tested and could recommend one?
I don't expect to play anything else so I'd like to get laptop that will be just enough for MO2

If you are spending that much money, you may as well save up and buy a really good one. Why spend $1000 on a "budget" one.

Does it have to be a laptop? I was surprised that my old pc was able to run mo2. It runs relatively smoothly. If I put settings to lowest its pretty nice actually and still looks tons better than mortal 1. It has a gtx 970 and an i7-4790k.

Why do you want a laptop? Are you going to be traveling alot and require the mobility? If your just gaming at home your far better off spending that 1000 dollars on a mid range desktop pc. Dollar for dollar your money will go further on a desktop build especially if you build it yourself. Whatever you end up getting try to get atleast 16g of ram 8 just isn't enough these days.

I don't even think you can buy a PC with only 8gb anymore lmao.

Also if you're going for a laptop...its even more reason to spend more, because you can't upgrade it.

Can't upgrade a laptop? Uh yes, you definitely can.

Dang my 10 y ear old Sandy Bridge build has a i7-2700K but running a GTX 1070 I got about 4.5 years ago and the game runs decently smooth on epic settings and 300% distance. Makes me feel bad when you said old PC and ur CPU is better than mine lol

I want to build a new one when this current PC craps out.

Afaik you can only upgrade ram and ssd. Both are which are usually the very last things you need to upgrade in a desktop. Your CPU/GPU are what get left behind the fastest.

I could be wrong...

Bought me MSI GF65 a few weeks ago (RTX 3060 version) and so far I am happy - runs MO2 smoothly at almost maxed settings. Might work even at max most of the time, but some places, like Tindrem, crap out the fps at max.

Most of the time you are right. Ram is super easy to upgrade though. That's why I posted that msi laptop as it's not a bad deal and upgrading the ram could be done for 50ish bucks easily.

Lol well I built that pc 6 years ago so i consider it to be pretty old. It doesn't matter though, if it runs it runs!

Gaming laptops with a Thunderbolt 3 port can hook up an external graphics card which provides desktop-class GPU performance.

I have mine hooked up to a desktop GTX 1660 Super via Razer Core X.

Since its already updated, for future reference for anyone wanting to game from a laptop and do it cheaply, I strongly suggest an alternative. Buy literally any laptop/notebook/padhybrid with a good monitor of a preferred size and resolution to your liking with good refresh rate (120+), use geforce now. Will save you effectively $1000-1500 as you can play the game just fine on a notebook, decent internet and a geforce now subscription.

Now that's good value, can't get more budget than that.

Not if you want to survive PvP or higher end PvE, in my experience.

Don't recommend running geforce now in f2p mode, its terrible.

If you're getting input lag there are ways to fix that, you're not supposed to get input lag.
