Do you use a laptop for gaming? If so, what brand/type do you use/recommend for gaming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I will just agree that your first question is whether or not you need mobile, and then mobile gaming, because of the price. For years we have heard about the demise of PCs outside of business but laptops just cant keep pace with growing technologies and the ever-increasing needs of software.

HP puts Factory Refurbished Omen laptops up there for cheap. There are still a few left... Woot's parent company is Amazon, for what it's worth, so you're not getting complete garbage. This one, for example: https://computers.woot.com/offers/hp-omen-15-6-fhd-intel-i7-gtx1050-gaming-laptop-2?ref=w_cnt_wp_8_4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I get 200 frames per second pretty consistently in COD4 at full resolution and high graphics settings. Maybe down to 120-150 on some of the more complex maps, or while I'm downloading smurf porn in the background. I think it would be about a $300-$400 machine right now used on eBay. You don't need a ton of horsepower to run COD4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
