Which laptop would be best?

06-26-20, 02:58 PM

My present laptop is dying a thousand deaths & on it's way down to 40,000 fathoms,so its time to buy a new one.

Can I please pick your brains?
I have a limited budget but think that I have found a laptop that will run SH5.

Can I ask which of the 2 below you would suggest as the best choice for me?
ACER Aspire 3 A315-42 15.6" AMD Ryzen 3 Laptop - 128 GB SSD
Processor
- AMD Ryzen 3 3200U Processor
- Dual-core
- 2.6 GHz / 3.5 GHz
- 4 MB cache
or
HP 15-db0500sa 15.6"AMD A6 Laptop - 1 TB
Processor
- AMD A6-9225 Processor
- Dual-core
- 2.6 GHz / 3 GHz
- 1 MB cache

Not being too computer savy & wanting an unbiased opinion I thought that Subsim was the place to ask for advice,....if you please dont mind?

Thanks in advance

Can anybody help/advise? Please

Hi,

I am not sure what is the budget but I would consider other options that have dedicated GPU. The laptops listed do not have that.
Other problem I also noted is that bot of them have only 4GB of RAM, in my opinion that is too little. go for at least 8GB of RAM and 500GB of HDD as the ACER laptop you showed has only 256GB. I dont think 256GB of HDD in this age will be enough if you want to play some games and run different programs on your laptop. Lets not forget also Windows Updates that can take additional space.
