What games/graphics settings are you targeting?
I mostly play single player but it would help if i could play like runescape or fortnight on it. I also like messing with ai a little so ollama is a optional bonus. I play a mix of games but most of what i got is rogue likes but im looking to try more games. I want the laptop to be 64 bit and portable, my main focus is performance and battery life. I may be asking too much? I got 600 dollars but most of it has to go towards parents bills and such, i get paid by the government for being autistic. Im not sure how to make my own money but i hope to slowly save up.
I would plan on the 800 or so price range.
(Also unrelated, but since this is in the Linux gaming community I wanted to let you know the fortnite does not work on Linux due to the anti cheat.)
Best buy open box is probably the best place to look.
Just wanted to mention that fortnite does not work on Linux due to anticheat. Reports for game compatibility can be found at protondb
