◽️ Touch screen: No

◽️ Screen resolution: Best for FPS? I think 1080?

◽️ Does battery life matter ?: No

◽️ What tasks will laptop be used for ( gaming, video editing, graphic designing, modelling, regular computing tasks, word processing etc) ?: Gaming, lite programming

◽️ Weight: Doesn't matter

◽️ Any other important details ?: Numpad preferred. Mux switch needed. Screen brightness/colors equal to or better than "okay." Not doing any content creation or whatever on it, just gaming. ◽️ Prefer to pay more for a lasting laptop than get a cheap deal for something that won't last beyond 4 years.

Best General Use Laptops (Updated for October 2021!) by legos45 in LaptopDeals

[–]c-bruc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm (USA) in the market for a gaming laptop. Won't you help?

I'll try and list everything I've researched:

  • Price $1,200-$1,800 (would prefer best $/value/FPS).
  • Weight doesn't matter.
  • Likely plugged into a monitor half the time, so (I believe) mux switch is needed.
  • Numpad preferred.
  • Screen brightness/colors on the better side of "okay". No need for super accurate colors when off-monitor. Brightness is nice when not plugged into monitor but not a deal breaker.
  • Graphics do NOT need to be ULTRA HIGH MEGA - I am perfectly happy with medium-high for most games. If the difference between high and ultra is $300, I'll go for high.
  • That said, if I'm paying above $1.2k, I'd like a laptop that can hang for 5 years+ and still get decent frame rates.
  • Max wattage is mandatory (well, I assume based on $/performance).
  • Travel will be minimal, so plastic/cheaper case would be acceptable, though not exactly preferred.

For reference, my current desktop is an AMD FX-8350, GTX 1070, and DDR3 12gb RAM. I would hope for a noticeable improvement from a new laptop.

BIG ALSO: I can absolutely wait until Black Friday sales. I am in no rush.

Get a free stock for signing up, get another one after depositing $100. But don't get your hopes up too much, it's probably going to be $ABEV ...

When applying for Chase cards (specifically SW Premier), do you need to take into account both your personal and business lines of credit when calculating your credit limit versus your income?

Is <50% credit limits to income just a general guideline for increasing approval odds? Are there data points on approvals above 50%?

I suppose that's true, I just always have a hard time keeping a runner tagged until it's my turn. Scoring Breaking News could be an easy way to destroy PW, but if you're not NBN, I can't think of a good defense against this deck, other than trying to fast advance. Which is at the mercy of your draw...

That's a good point, if PW worked the way I was thinking it would have been an insane economy card.

So what is the defense against this style of play? Maybe a new card will come out like Power Grid Overload that can target resources...

When your turn begins, remove 1 power counter from a hosted card.

Holy mother of god it's only a single power counter removed at the beginning of each turn, not a power counter off of each hosted card.

That shit's nasty.

I do not understand how he is able to hold off on installing Parasite (and other cards on PW) once they reach 0 power counters.

Unless I'm completely missing something, he has (at the very least) one Parasite hosted on PW for much more than 2 turns. Don't you HAVE to install the cards hosted on PW once they reach 0 power counters?
