Hello, I am looking for a good windows laptop for a relative going into college.
Uses: Games like warthunder, wot, and fallout 4 + general web browsing and youtube playback. Typing word documents aswell.
Budget: $625 ish.
He wants a dedicated gpu, and it would be nice if it was better than his current 960 2gb.
Cpu should be a quad core at minimum and would be nice to be better than his current fx6300.
He would want an SSD with room to expand. (Brownie points for a free 2.5 in bay)
An optical drive is needed for his classes, although he could use an external drive.
I have been looking at this: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/acer-n...ate-drive-shale-black/6212602.p?skuId=6212602
I already have purchased this for a different relative and love its performance, but im not sure if a better deal can be had.
This laptop has:
I5 8300h
GTX 1050ti
Intel 660p NVMe 256gb
1080p ips panel.
Backlit keyboard.
No optical drive, but a free 2.5in bay.
$580.
Got it for $600 for black friday last year for another relative.
