What’s the cheapest laptop that can run this game well

[wodsde]

Im looking for a cheap laptop for 200$ or less so I can play this amazing game again

200$ will not get you a machine that can run anything like this game. Actually, highly doubt it'll get you a machine on the new market...

Up your budget, be super lucky to scam a dude on ebay or forget it.

Is it even possible to buy a laptop for less than $200? I think even tablets costs more than that.

if you want cheaaaap my guy,, ali express sells old xeons for a good deal

so long as you know how to put it together yourself you can make a decent tower pc for 200$

xeon X5675 six core 12 thread cpu was like 25 bucks with shipping

Do not know about prices, but here's a short guide from our tech guys: "Anything with more than 4 GB RAM and a dedicated graphics card should be fine (8 GB would be best, though). Try to avoid integrated cards, especially Intel 2000-5500 series as these seem to have a lot of issues with latest updates. No issues have been reported with Intel 630 series though, so that might work too, but a dedicated card would be best"

If you really can't afford a laptop/pc that can run a low demand game like this, maybe a cloud service would be better.

Doesnt matter how many cores its got or ram since windows scales its usage of it until it eventually degrades the hardware.

Probably need to budget for closer between $300-$600 for a lowish gaming capable laptop.

But like Tallasee said, best to get a minimum of 8GB RAM and and an NVIDIA or AMD graphics adapter in the laptop. An SSD would be great addition, but would probably push it into the higher range of that price.

Instead of putting down money towards a junky slow laptop, you're really better off just saving up for something a bit better. Besides, from what I've seen the $200 or less laptops both are generally pretty bad and yet also sell out very quickly so they can be hard to find, especially during the pandemic when more people are both stuck at home and short on money.

Yeah currently all laptops are either overpriced, or fly of the shelf, like there is no tomorrow or both. For any kind of gaming capable laptop you will need to pay a heavy price though, as the videocard shortage got them too, with the new mineing laptop rigs.
Desktop wise it does not seem that much different neither sadly. Allthough with an intel processor at least you would be able to run the game with its built in GPU, from the newer versions. But in the Desktop market it is also again the dedicated videocard/GPU/ that will be a damn hard find on a good price.
(I am suggesting intel because their processors contain iGPU, whereas if i recall well, AMD 3xxx and 5xxx versions do not., only the laptop editions do (so the 4xxx series as well), but those Vega-s should be okay for the game.)

Thanks for the advice guys I should of added more info basically my stim/tax return money got delayed a few months and I’m planning on buying a 1.5k pc but it going to be a few months so I thought finding the cheapest machine to run this game was a smart idea
