Low end computer, is it enough?
I have an i5 8gb ram laptop being sent to through the mail to me. I think this is on par with a PS4.

I got it cheap is this good enough to play this game on ok settings for now? Also is this laptop good enough to play Player's Unknown Battlegrounds? I can't type on those forums but it is something I would like to find out if at least on low settings.

Would an i7 8gb or i5 16gb ram be better? How much of a difference would there be?

PUBG is one of those game with minecraft graphics that requires a Nasa PC to run.

Lol good luck running PUBG.

Without the link.

DELL LATITUDE FAST LAPTOP E6430 Intel i5-3520M /8GB /250GB /Win 10

1. Is it enough to play Ark on good / ok settings?

Other games I'm very interested in.
2. Is it enough to play PUBG?

I don't know much about computers. What is the cheapest but good laptop for steam gaming?

Would an i7 8gb or i5 16gb ram be better upgrade? How much of a difference would there be? Or what is the minimum but good quality laptop?

sure... using the low end launch settings and low ingame settings yep. but ark is going to use up 1/2 ur hdd space and your going to overheat bad.

Does it have to be a laptop?
Your not going to get a gaming capable laptop cheap. You could however get a cheap computer prebuilt that would run Ark singleplayer on low graphics pretty well.

you paid almost $300 for a low end laptop when you could have bought a computer from walmart capable of playing on on medium setting s for the same price.

rule of thumb, if the laptop has only a iGPU it wont like ARK.

What would be recommended specs that are equal to a PS4 / Xbox 1?

Laptops are the same price as a gaming PC... For less space. I think.
