Just buy a good one that needs no mods. I got an I7 HP OMEN 15.6 laptop in 2019 and it’s been great since and still is capable. Better to spend a little extra on a decent one
what parts do you have now?

Honestly buy a Lenovo Legion/LOQ gaming laptop.
I know Gaming Laptops have a bad rep but man they're genuinely awesome and have evolved. You can easily get one for like 800 bucks in the states and they run most games smooth with a 4060 GPU and a Ryzen 7 CPU.
if you rot at home PC is always better than laptop
jfl, you can run those games on a toasterok ill save up and do some research

buy and upgrade as needed, since it depends on what you're playing. An rtx 4090 just to play counter-strike and GTA would be a waste of money, for example
They're not bad these days but their worst aspect is the fact that it's extremely difficult to upgrade one and they're made for planned obsolescence. They will ALWAYS overheat and end up fucking up no matter how much care you take of it.
Yes, cheap gaming PCs can play most games. Not at high framerates, but playable.
only things you can upgrade in most laptops today are SSD and RAM and even that is less common because they solder memory and ram right to the motherboard. Laptops are crap and low quality, when you game they overheat and it will lead to breakage.

For 1k you can make PC better than PS5. Buy 2nd hand RX 5700 XT ($120) + I7 12700k with mobo ($280) + 16gb of ddr4 3200mhz (or 3600mhz even better) ram ($40) + 1tb ssd ($50) + used 1080p 144hz screen ($80-150) + 700w psu ($150) = PS5 mogged and you will still have spare cash at least if you won't blow it all on super fancy case i dunno about their prices i have good old phanteks enthoo pro which i've been using for past 2 pcs it's that good i only added 4 new fans.
You can buy some cheap Razor mice with a good sensor at amazon during deals (got mine for less than $80 if you are in USA then you can get amazing Basilisk v3 for just $45) and keyboard buy cheapest shit you can get i'm using dell black keyboard and i reject normie rgb keyboards.
If you want to mog ps5 pro then buy used rx 6800 xt and add another 16gb of ram. You will be obviously using pirated windows 10 like Chad
and it's not negotiable only cucks would give money to the Gates.

No don't buy overpriced dogshit laptops it's a low iq move. You can buy superior desktop for much cheaper.
no just build your own
why buy a cheap PC. either get a console or a decent PC. no point in playing a PC just to run at shit graphics tbh
L
1k is cheap to you faggot
for richcels who live in the West, 1000 dollars for PC is no big deal
L
I know that but for a measly 500 buck you can have a pc which can run 720/1080 games now. Stop giving your money to sexhavers.
just throw some parts together, building one takes like 40mins nowadays
from used parts only i guess, budget RX 6600 alone is 300 dollars +-
stop coping like a third worlder that needs to eat all his salary away
ofc used, brand new shit is highly overpriced nowadays. used rx 5700 xt is $120 and has even better perf than your rx 6600
You can do much more with a pc than to just play AAA games and you Don't always have to play with the highest graphics and fps
it's a risk baying used PC parts, especially graphics card or motherboard, seller will never admit if it has issues. I guess it's only fine on Ebay with buyer protection.
Only one gpu died on my in 30 years of gaming so no problem in buying them, buying used mobo was a mistake since only two ram slots work and i had one mobo die on me. Used cpus are always fine it's practically impossible to kill them. Don't ever buy used SSDs/HDD/RAMs or mouses/keyboards/PSU (unless it's still has a warranty). 2nd hand screens are fine. You will save a lot of money by buying 2nd hand GPU+CPU+Monitor.
there could be faulty 13/14th intel gen on used market and AMD X3D CPUs killed by motherboard SoC voltage surge
I fear ones that have experienced thousands of hours of mining or where chip was reboiled, i never trust seller, they will always lie to sell it and get money
My 2nd hand rx 5700 xt was mining crypto and it works perfectly fine it's just a scaremorerging tactics to force you to buy new expensive shit
That's why you buy 12th gen i7 or i9.
My general rules for used parts:
CPUs are fine to buy, except for specific known faults like Raptor Lake. If there's a problem, they just won't work and very rarely degrade within the lifespan before you'll upgrade in the future.
GPUs, I recommend only buying if it's still within warranty. Beyond that, it's all luck, no matter what the listing says. There's often great deals out there for old cards, but it comes with the risk.
Motherboards, never. Always buy new.
RAM, I always buy used because most manufacturers have unlimited RMAs, and it's easy to tell when RAM is the problem. It just requires patience.
Storage, new is obvious if you care about your data and privacy, but I do buy lots of old HDDs for dirt cheap to store games/porn which have somehow all worked fine.

u can get a good pc under 1k
If you don't about missing out on new games and can lower game resolution to 1200x720p and build a computer use website like papartpicker and you videos since I think building a computer is cheaper going to build a computer for my grandpa soon
gaming labtops are good i would say its worth it no need to build or put together any shit
Same, basedok ill save up and do some research
tbh ill probably buy a expensive setup just to play GTA san andreas and minecraft
hell no
Gaming laptops are a fucking scam, you cant upgrade + they get hot really quickly + you're going to have to stay in one place anyways since it needs a massive charger otherwise it's going to die in a few minutes
depends on the games you want to play.
Laptops suck compared to PC, but if you're on the move a lot, what can you do. Just don't be lazy or afraid to build a PC, or buy a prebuilt. They're really superior.
Das what I'm saying.
But people hate gaming laptops because of all the old memes from 2012 ridiculing their heating, stutters, low graphics etc. I myself own one and they're great.
You can build a pretty good one under 1k but how much exactly also 1k isnt cheap jfl
But i think maybe you should wait next year nvidia amd and intel are all gonna be releasing their next gen cards which will lower prices of current gen used stuff and maybe they will release slightly better value cards the kikes
are trash
Do you have money for eletric bill sirSame, based
