Hi all
So my current laptop is 4 years old - I had an accident and damaged the laptop which is currently with the insurance company. I was advised that due to the nature of the damage (water damage), they will likely offer a cash settlement instead of a repair.
My current spec is below and was a prebuilt purchase from scan.co.uk
17.3 * LG Screen
8gb Ram 1600
1TB HDD
GTX 970M GPU
I5 (I think!) cpu.
I use the laptop for occasional gaming - I was enjoying playing AC: Odyssey before it was damaged. It really did struggle to play this game on low. I tried nudging a few settings up to medium as the game was an eyesore, but that really made the fps plunge to the point of unplayable.
I've heard that's a pretty intense game to play on a laptop in terms of system requirements. Ideally, I'd like a replacement capable of playing this with medium - high graphic settings. Going for ultra settings may be beyond my budget of £1,100.
I used to be really savvy with tech jargon / builds, but I'm really out of the loop now.
If anyone can point me in the right direction of some builds, website links or specific purchase links - or just some general advice, that would be much appreciated.
I'm not overly fussed about having a 17.3* screen, I plug it in to a TV via HDMI most of the time anyway.
In terms of storage, I'd need a minimum 1TB HDD. I've never had a SSD, but open to suggestions.
Many thanks
Ash
