Buying a new Laptop
At the moment I am using an Acer Aspire F15
which has a Core i5 7th generation processor this laptop cannot run Windows 11(according to a few sites that I have checked)also it is not fully up to spec for Silent Hunter 5. I am looking to buy a new ,everyday, allrounder laptop soon. Which of the following would experienced SH5 players look at? AMD 5,7 or 9,Intel Core i7 Octa-Core or Quad Core SSD Thanks in advance. |

SSD for sure, but for a laptop you intend to play games on, you don't specify your choices regarding the most important component aka the GPU.

...which means integrated graphics. Don't. For gaming, buy a computer with dedicated GPU. Integrated graphics are good for internet, movies or office work but 3D games need dedicated GPU unless you want to be able to count individual frames.
