Thread: Ultrabook

    Ultrabook

    Hey guys!
    I was just looking for some help on a suggestion for a cheap ultrabook that can play League of Legends at a decent framerate, even at Very Low FPS.
    My current laptop plays LoL at 20 fps, in team fights < 5 fps.
    It's going to be used for college too, which is why I want an ultrabook. Many people suggest me Asus, but when I look at the products, I don't know what can run what. Any suggestions or comments would be very nice.
    Thanks for taking your time to read this!

    Price range, if you can around $500? I don't know if thats asking too low or not.

    don´t think ultrabooks start in that price range iirc

    or is intel hd2000 enough fps for LoL with lowest of the lowest?

    There is a few there. I can get to a Micro Center, if I need to.
    Also there are some on tigerdirect. Again, I just don't know if they can run League or not.

    I just don't want it to be too pricey.

    perhaps abit more details? and with that budget a normal laptop might offer more power to run it decent

    I have Intel HD 3000 Graphics on my motherboard(desktop), and played with that for a while when I overloaded my graphics card.
    HD 3000 would be fine. I just don't want to have a huge luggable in my backpack when I'm walking around campus.
    It doesn't necessarily need to be an ultrabook, I just want it light.
    And I just want it the cheapest I can get it, but 800 would be the very top of my budget.

    Gaming performance + lightweight + low budget = almost impossible. Knock off one of those 3 things and you would have a lot better luck.
    :::: Intel 10900k w/ Corsair H100i
    :::: ASUS Maximus XII Formula
    :::: 64GB Corsair Dominator RGB 3600mhz DDR4
    :::: Samsung 512gb 960 PRO m.2 nvme ssd (OS), Samsung 1TB 950 EVO ssd
    :::: Nvidia RTX 3090 Founders Edition
    :::: Pop!_OS

    Yeah true. I mean I just want to play LoL at very low settings at at least 40 fps. Thats not really too much is it?

    pick any i guess ,cheapest ones from asus i could find with a GPU so fps won´t be a issue for sure

    for the link just set search to any dedicated gpu and price limit at 800 should leave 8 results

    I don't like that resolution for that big of a screen but I don't know if they make "affordable" 1080 laptops. Also not a fan of refurb but others might have a different opinion.

    But yeah that one will do the job just fine. IIRC my Asus came with a lot of bloatware so you may want to clean it up before you start using it.

    1080 screen cheap laptops kinda barely excist if not at all, the laptop should do what the OP expects from it

    Sorry, an Ultrabook for $500? That can play any game at all? Last time I checked even the more expensive ones have trouble with flash games.
