Budget Laptop 789.99 Not a cent higher.

[Joseph532]

I'm looking for a laptop that can run games like overwatch and pubg. My budget is exactly 789.99 Not a single cent higher. I play games all the way from league to Pubg so I just need a laptop that can run most things on mid to high settings. It's not for me I know it's a hard task but this is all we can afford. Thanks for the help in advance.

Not difficult at all. PUBG may be an unoptimized mess with tons of glitches, but it will run on some pretty low end hardware. Overwatch isn't that bad either.

quick finds:

256GB SSD. Likely room to add a another drive as well.

It has a 256 SSD (aka HD).

for your needs (gaming chops) then the Acer is better as it has a 1050ti which is about 40% fast than the 1050 vanilla in the Dell. CPU wise they are the same.

The Acer has a 256gb SSD (fast, but little storage - considering windows is about 50gbs). The dell has a hybrid drive, SSD 8gbs, plus 1TB HD. For storage the Dell wins, for gaming the Acer wins.

edit, both have IPS 1080p panels, and the Acer has a backlit keyboard. You could get the Acer, and then add in a traditional HD for very little down the road, to increase storage.

Oh there are more out there, too many to pick from really.

If you spent enough time you could probably track down a model with a standard drive and a GTX 1050Ti. I saw quite a few sub $800 models with i7 and GTX1050 rather than the i5 and 1050Ti combo.

What do you guys think about the hp Omen series?

 

[Eximo]

Well they are a bit flashy for me, but it really depends on the model and the features you are after. Did you have a specific one in mind?
