Looking for a new laptop for games like PubG

[seangerman7]

I have a nice desktop at home but I need a new laptop and I would like to be able to play PUBG decently. I would love it to be one of the slim light laptops but I cant figure out what would work. I travel a lot so smaller and lighter is better. I was looking at razer stealth, HP Spectre x360, and vivobook pro but if you have better suggestions lets hear them. Again I dont need the highest settings but it needs to be playable. I also do a lot of design work so 16gb ram is a must. Around $1800 budget but would prefer something closer to $1300 if available.

Thanks for the help.

There's lots of laptops to choose from. The question is though... what is your budget? $1,000? $2,000? $3,000? etc?...

If you are looking for gaming laptops with screens 14" & less, there are not very many to choose from. You may have to settle for something with a 15.6" screen as that's the standard. For that price however, you could easily find something with a 8th gen i7, 16gb mem & at least a gtx 1070. The MSI GE63 / GP63 series are about that and in that price range. They also have better cooling systems then most other brands. If you like HP though, the HP Omen 15t laptops are also the same specs & in that price range.

Yeah I just dont need it do be an amazing game machine since I have a very good desktop. This is just so I can play some games and do some design work when Im away. So the 15" just doesnt really fit

A side from the ones you mentioned, the other popular under 14" gaming laptops are those Alienware 13's.
Not really much else with a dedicated gpu.. however there are ones with thunderbolt connectors on them. So you'd at least be able to connect an external video card(egpu). I doubt you want to go through that trouble though.

You don't think any integrated GPU can run PUBG at decent quality/frames?

Those new Intel chips come with the HD Graphics 630. If PUBG is anything like Fortnite, you'll have to play on low settings if you'd like to maintain a decent fps. Actually... here's a video of it playing on a 630: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH5KqJFcodc&vl=en

In general, you don't want to use integrated unless you don't have/can't afford a decent gpu.
