So you want a laptop that shouldn’t cost too much, but still be a gaming laptop (or something close to that) and preferably offer smooth gameplay, with no lags.
The thing is that to play Fortnite, for instance, you need quite a powerful laptop. And such devices usually cost a lot. Luckily, you might be surprised that you can find some powerful devices even in regular laptops – that are not sold for gaming purposes necessarily.
So this might be a hint to start widening your filters. But to ease your selection, here are a few examples of laptops that should perform well while playing Fortnite or any other demanding game, for that matter.
What are some good laptops for playing Fortnite?
ASUS TUF Gaming A15
- AMD Ryzen 5 4600H + GeForce GTX 1650
- 8GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM
- Self-cleaning fans with anti-dust technology
- Possible battery issues in the first days of use
With the AMD Ryzen 5 4600H CPU and GeForce GTX 1650 graphics combo, you know that you’ll get a truly forceful device that will smoothly get you not only through your Fortnite gameplay but also through various high-demanding projects.
A lot of input/output ports including 1 x USB 2.0 Gen 1, one DP and an HDMI port ensure that you can connect to any other accessory or device you might need.
You can upgrade the memory and add more SSD and HDD if necessary, but out of the box the ASUS TUF comes with just what you need to get started with your Fortnite game.
2020 MSI GF75 Thin Gaming Laptop
- 17.3'' FHD 120Hz display
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 4GB graphics
- Backlit keyboard
- Flimsy jack port
MSI is a well-known brand when it comes to gaming laptops and this GF75 is surely a good choice.
It will not only stand intensive gaming sessions, but also drawing or video programs that need a lot of resources.
As per user reviews, games can run at 70+ FPS when upgraded from 8 RAM to 16GB 3200mhz RAM.
Dell Inspiron 15 5000
- Nvidia GeForce MX330 2GB graphics
- 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD
- Backlit keyboard
- Doesn't seem stable enough
So this is an elegant and sleek laptop, with a professional design and looks, and promising a lot too, judging by the specs.
And it does offer a stable performance when multitasking, photo or video editing, or gaming. Besides, the 10th Generation Intel Core i7-1065G7 gives it a welcoming boost in terms of responsiveness, while the Nvidia GeForce MX330 2GB GDDR5 graphics ensures perfect visuals.
The audio system is enhanced with the MaxxAudio Pro technology for surround sound.
Acer Aspire 7
- AMD Ryzen 5 3550H Quad-Core processor (up to 3.7GHz)
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 4GB
- Backlit keyboard
- Volume might be too low
Another combination of high-level specs, bringing together the powerful AMD Ryzen 5 processor with the superior NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 graphics.
This Acer Aspire 7 will work perfectly as a business laptop as well, and you can rely on it for great responsiveness and multitasking capabilities.
The 802.11ac Wi-Fi 5 technology allows for quick and stable connectivity, three times faster than with devices not using this system.
The laptop also uses Acer’s Color Intelligence and ExaColor features, for vivid and vibrant display colors.
2020 Flagship Acer Nitro 5
- 9th Generation Intel Core i5-9300H processor 2. 4GHz with Turbo Boost
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 graphics
- Marxsol cable accessories included
- None so far
Yet anothe Acer model, this time a truly gaming laptop that should take your Fortnite gaming to the next level.
It boasts a sleek, particular design, with a 15.6” FHD IPS display “chipped” at the corners for a rougher look.
The Turbo Boost technology attached to the Intel processor soars speeds up to 4. 1GHz, to which you get super fast responsiveness thanks to the upgradable 8GB RAM 256GB PCIe SSD.
Add to that up to 8 hours of battery life and the Marxsol cable accessories (mouse pad, USB cable extension and HDMI cable) and you get a full gaming kit to set up in your room.
And this is where we draw the line with our recommendations for gaming laptops that currently sell for under $1000 (or even for under $900, we should say).
