Get as much horsepower as you can if you want to play games that even Tech Jesus thinks is one of the worst ever.

If I were buying a laptop for this game, I would buy the best mobile GPU available, the best CPU available with at least six cores, and at least 64 jigabytes of RAM. And, the biggest 1440 screen possible.

And, though it appears that some don’t agree with Tech Jesus and enjoy the janky performance, many would say that this game is crap and advise you to wait a year.

Don't even plan to play this game on a laptop. First wait to see how "performance patches" will change things, if there is no significant improvement then no laptop will help you.

The problem with laptops is that while you can pack a lot of power into them, they always have problem dissipating the heat generated under heavy load. The game is both CPU and GPU intensive, it should overheat any laptop within minutes and lead to throttling.

I have an Acer Predator PH317-55 with i5-11400H and 3060 6GB. Not the best, but not the worst. With medium graphics settings it gets about 25+ Fps. Simulation speed was adequate up to about 120,000 population, after that the slowdown is noticeable. If the game optimization improves over time, I think I'll be fine with it.

I was able to enjoy it on my HP Envy with Medium settings for a while. Never got to a city larger than 200k, but that's due to me picking it up on home PC.
Intel® Core™ i9-11900H; RTX 3060 - was running fine for hours.

Yes.
Try Intel 89890k and rtx 49090ti

BTW game looks like an early version of CS:1,
so people are just heating their room for ugliness.

I recommend playing classic Cyberpunk20077 nowadays,
to get a feel for great game graphics,
regardless of genre.

My opinions.

I will never understand people who game on laptops. Like what even is the point? Just buy a gaming desktop with a 38" curved monitor.

Laptops are less efficient than their desktop counterparts in terms of gaming, despite having the same graphics cards, the desktop version will always be more powerful due to a stable power connection and adequate fans.

Besides, you can't upgrade laptops, I mean I guess you could, but if you break the plastic, there go your laptop. It's very difficult to re-assemble everything.

I would highly suggest buying a desktop for gaming instead.

I played the game on 3440x1440p with high settings with my RTX 3060 Ti, 16gb ram intel core i7 12700F, the game runs at 40fps without any cities, but it turns to a CRAP 26fps with 50,000 pop.

If listen to the developers, they created this game thinking about hardware that doesn't exist yet. So there is no such laptop.

[rizepol1]

Thanks everyone. I appreciate all your inputs.

this unfortunately isnt a mobile game in its current state (Obviously I dont mean mobile like phone but via steam deck and even top of the line gaming laptops.) You need a serious rig for it to even look and run somewhat acceptable.

[Niviob]

There is not one.

I smell what everyone stepped in.... Genius!
