Okay, so I'm as new as it gets to gaming laptops (and gaming pcs in general) and I want to get some advice and recommendations before I take the plunge. I understand that GPU and CPU matter the most when measuring a pc's ability to play a game, but looking at string after string of numbers has made me cross eyed the past two days. So, I'm hoping to get some help.
I'll go ahead and say my budget's $900. I really don't want to go over this amount but still get something decent that I won't immediately regret buying. Not sure how possible that is but here we go.
I'm looking for a laptop that can handle gaming every now and then but also function as my everyday computer, which means hours of constant use. A few of the games I'm hoping to play are The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind, Oblivion, a (potentially) heavily modded Skyrim if the laptop can handle it, the Mass Effect series, some Fable titles, Dark Souls 3, Hellblade, and Divinity: Original Sin 2.
The actual look or weight of the laptop doesn't matter a lot, but I do need at least 2 usb ports, more would be fantastic. I use my laptop to write a lot, so a decent keyboard is appreciated, as well as a trackpad that isn't garbage. I use a usb mouse almost always but sometimes the trackpad's all I've got. And decent speakers are always appreciated but I've got headphones, so it's not a dealbreaker.
I've been looking at several laptops but don't have a clue what I'm doing lol. ANY advice or recommendations are greatly appreciated and thank you to anyone who can help me out.
