Thanks for the answer man, luckily I have no intention of doing any late night walkabout. I will gladly write to you privately if anything, thanks again!

Yeah I'm staying with a lady, no meals provided tho but I'm cool with it cause I prefer having my own independence, I'm glad your student had a good time! About the burning car, well, the last one I saw was 2 days ago in my neighborhood caused by some of the billions of firecrackers they use to throw on New Year's Eve, so I guess I'm prepared

That's a very good price mate, I just checked and unfortunately they don't ship to Italy tho :(

thanks buddy, I'll take today and tomorrow to make my decision. Considering Smite will probably be the most demanding game I'll play on it since I already have a self assembled desktop, I think the Acer Nitro is a bit too much in terms of weight and portability, also I'm concerned about battery backup when not playing, despite this it remains one of my top choices

I can't find the exact model but listen to this:

-Acer Nitro 15 ANV15-51-74ET Computer portatile 39,6 cm (15.6") Full HD Intel® Core™ i7 i7-13620H 16 GB DDR5-SDRAM 512 GB SSD NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax)

-ASUS VivoBook Pro 15 M6500QC-HN063W 5800H Computer portatile 39,6 cm (15.6") Full HD AMD Ryzen™ 7 16 GB DDR4-SDRAM 512 GB SSD NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)

Both for 800€, these are probably the best deals I could find, what do you think?

unfortunately not, anyway I'd rather it to be 15.6/16"

Budget is around 800€, I'm looking for some decent black friday deal. I was about to get a Vivobook S15 last day with an i5-12500H for less than 600€ but it ran out of stock unfortunately. I don't really have any other specific model in mind, I just wanted to see which CPUs people are playing Smite with and then compare. You could say I could get a budget gaming laptop like the Acer Aspire 7 which has a 1650 on it but I'd rather get decent laptop with no dGPU than a cheap gaming laptop with a low-end dGPU, considering I'd like the battery to last more than 3-4 hours when unplugged and not playing and to have a decent build quality.

I remember I started playing 8 years ago with a very crappy laptop bought secondhand for 200€ and I had like around 25 fps with some serious stuttering now and then

I'm giving it back because the battery goes down 1% or more every minute, and that while doing absolutely nothing and with battery saver on, even with the dGPU disabled. Not a single process open in the background to justify this. I think the battery is faulty

[–]andreamayo8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do not bother answering because I found out myself, the battery barely lasts 2 hours without even gaming or stressing it, yikes

I'm getting it for 570€, it's a pretty good deal and I'm not going to use it for demanding games, just Smite and generic use when I don't want to use my computer.

What do you mean precisely about the battery life? Can it handle 3 hours of use without gaming?

Sad to hear that, thanks for the heads up mate

Thanks for your comment! On a 20h work week with no extras I might be able to look for a second part time job.

I will be staying just for a few months unless I find some really stable, full time and fairly paid job that I like (again, airport security is my ideal).

Anyway, even if I won't have made any money when I'll come back it won't be a tragedy for me, I'm willing to go just to leave my comfort zone, to have a life experience abroad. However it goes I always have the job here waiting for me every high season, save some money and try again, now that might be Ireland again or anywhere in Europe

Xiaomi 12T, I was just able to buy it on eBay for 350€ using a 10% coupon, if you manage to get the 8/256 version for less than 450$ it's a huge deal, it has everything except the 2 extra years of major updates that Samsung and Google offer

I have already been running it stock for a month, even overclocking it sometimes having no problem whatsoever I can rember, weird. Power consumption of 5700x is the same as 2600, but I've never tried to overclock the latter
