Buying Laptop - don't know what all the numbers mean

[thelight01]

Hello,

I'm looking for a laptop that will run Assassin's Creed Origins, and The Witcher 3 at least as well as my current laptop which is the lowest setting. I've found two laptops that seem like they are an upgrade but there are so many numbers I'm not sure if they are a straight upgrade or if they are a downgrade.
Thank you.

My current laptop is a MSI GT70 with a first edition SSD.

Hello, thelight01

I think this one is better than ROG, or maybe you want slimmer laptop you can check this laptop
this laptops (even that ROG) will run AC Origins and The Witcher 3 and latest or even most upcoming AAA Games at least with high setting.

The first one looks cool its a little under budget so I can get a little bit of upgrades. I also do like the sale.

even with the $200 sale the second one is over budget but I can keep my eye out on that one and see if there is any bigger price cuts but slim does not matter to me in the least because my laptop is a play anywhere at home and take it to a friend's place on occasion kind of laptop.

you can upgrade its SSDs if you need more storage for you games and i think you don't have to upgrade its RAM since its more than enough to run most games. it also kinda overkill if you only play AC Origins and The Witcher 3

They are just the most demanding graphical games I own now. I will probably get Odyssey when it goes on sale and I have a long list of 40 or so games I own. I can only keep 8 or 9 installed on my current laptop.

Take a look at www.xoticpc.com, that is usually the place I go to for gaming systems in one place. Easier to check on than Amazon or Newegg to find models without doing 20 different searches. These are the 17" models in your price range https://www.xoticpc.com/custom-gami...advanced-laptop-series.html#!/p=clear&size=13
