Buying a gaming laptop for my dad

[Sinistra03]

Hey all,

Trying to find a laptop for my dad who wants to play the video game Obduction. Can anyone help me? Looking at these: http/topreviews.best/main-review/best-gaming-laptops?gclid=Cj0KEQjwouW9BRCN0ozIifTI6_cBEiQAD9gNsUybIixT0n2y7q-uIai13KxxDwEFtOzU4PnOjTXMVD4aAkaX8P8HAQ

Targeting $800 - is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M 2 GB GDDR5 good enough?

Thanks everyone!

Okay. Search up game debate and search up the game and see if the requirements fit. If it's a new game, pcs usually cost up to $2000 that can run new games. If you are looking for good performance I would suggest something like MetaBox. Otherwise, try the cheapest computers good brands make. Hmm.. I've searched it up and the good news is that it can run Obduction at a medium level.

Looking at the system requirements for the game a GTX 960m should be fine.

Between the two laptops from the link, the only ones that are within your budget are the Dell and the Acer Aspire. I would go with the Dell because the Acer has terrible battery life. If the laptop always stay home and plugged in, then battery life is not very important.

For $800 the Dell with the 256 GB SSD and 960M is the one I tend to go with https/www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015PYYDMQ/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B015PYYDMQ&linkCode=as2&tag=tcb79-20&linkId=HWFVBVTR2AWMRCPT

Good balance of specs. You can get a faster CPU for the same money, but would lose the SSD, be down a tier in reliability and it won't help too much in games.

From the website you have linked only the acers are in your price range.
