Is a random $500 laptop enough to play recent games like Tekken 7?

No, but a PS4 is

>random $500 laptop
You'd be playing russian rulette.
No, a price point and "laptop" are not enough information. Specs vary a fuckton depending on the manufacturer, the model and the age of the machine.

Yes, you can find perfectly gaming-capable laptops for 500 bucks, but typical off-shelf stuff is going to cost more.

Spec?

To be fair, this generation's games has bloated requirements that makes it run poorly even on lowest settings. So, I wouldn't advise going for a laptop for playing today's games.

You will need an i5 at the minimum, ideally an i7. If the laptop has an i3 or a pentium no.

>laptop

ah yes an exemplary neo-Sup Forums's PC master race

...

Wrong.
A machine with i3 but a good GPU is going to dominate a laptop without dedicated GPU.

>i7 7th Gen 7700
>16 GB Ram
>1 TB HDD 240 GB SSD

should i get this prebuilt lad

>random
No.
>carefully picked
Yes.

Either way, a 500$ self-built desktop would have no problem playing anything at 1080p/60fps at the moment.

What he said technically is right. No I3 laptop afaik has dedicated gpu. So buying a I5 laptop will increase your chance of getting a laptop with dedicated gpu

Discrete gpus in laptops begin at around a grand, and they generally don't bother with them until the system already has an i5

>Playing fighting games on PC

I don't have any specific model in mind, but if you do have suggestions at this price point, I'll be glad to hear them.

I'm not a Sup Forums regular, hence my question.

Nah don't that's 200-300$ overpriced

~$700 is the bare minimum. You can get the Inspiron 15 Gaming for $680 which has the GTX 960M equipped

>Prebuilt
Stick to consoles please.

it's actually pretty damn good, and OK-ish priced too for its specs.

>No I3 laptop afaik has dedicated gpu.
Wrong. I've had one for years. 2012 model PackardBell Easynote with i3 @ 2.1ghz, 6GB RAM and GT 540M 1GB. Got it for mere 399€, brand new, off store shelf.

With monitor and shit?

I remembered on other thread where an user bought a prebuilt that same spec without a gpu, and bought himself a 1080, and the price is technically not more expensive than building pc yourself.

>Discrete gpus in laptops begin at around a grand,
Negative. What kind of ancient myths are you people living by? You only stare at Alienware's catalogs or something?

Stuff like Lenovo Y50 / Y510p can be bought for mere 600 bucks, and they come with SLI GTX 755M or single GTX 760M. They did cost mere 700-800 bucks back in the days as well.

There's already new Asus machines with GTX 1050 going for 800 bucks, brand new.

On $500 range, I wouldn't getting one for gaming because most of them are dual cores ultrabooks with below average gpus. I like this user , and the newer Inspiron 15 got 1050 so get that instead.

You're overpaying about $100 if they're skimping on ram and PSU quality, otherwise that's a decent price with almost no prebuilt tax.
That said, you probably don't need the i7 so you could save $200 extra if you built it yourself.

thank lads

now win 10 or 7

I know a PS4 is normally the cheapest option, but I'm often moving between different countries and I'm not going to travel with a PS4 and a 27" monitor every week.

I need something portable, and not a Switch.

2012 was 5 years ago user. Nowadays i3 rarely got good gpus, the best one I've ever seen was an Acer with 940m.

Not exactly a problem since today's Intel HD is really decent.

7. It just works. Or maybe 8.1 with classic shell.

Okay, $680 is still reasonable, I'll investigate about this one.

Go for it. My mate got the 960m version and it was legit the best cheap gaming laptop out there. The only thing I didn't liked was the design but there are far more gayman laptops with even dogshit design out there.

i can play it on my 3 year old lenovo y50-70 with a stable 60fps at 720p. But that was 1000 bucks back then.

I have a GT 540m Asus laptop that runs Resident Evil VII at 40-50fps on medium settings.

RE7 runs really good

My A10 9600p laptop has no problems running BlazBlue or GG
Not sure about Tekken, but it might run

>laptop

No
Just build one yourself

Not a chance.

not OP but quick question what is a good hit box for pc?

7, any day.
Failing that, W8.1 is a-OK middleground with tweaks.

If you look hard enough you might find one with a gpu for 600-700. If money is an issue I would get a switch, it might not have 3rd party games but its better than laptops at that price point.

id rather buy all from the same place and actually get everything at the same time, rather then buy it form 10 different places.

leaf so that didn't work

if ur knowledgeable enough to know that pc>console then just build it yourself and go all the way otherwise get a console like the other shitters here

Still a useful website for picking parts
