Laptop for everyday and a little gaming

topmanamillion

As per the title, I'm looking for a laptop for everyday browsing and word applications that I can occasionally play the likes of FIFA 19 and Witcher on.

Budget of about E850.
I'd prefer a 15" screen.
I don't want one that looks like its being used to man the starship enterprise or small children will start crying if Im using it in a library or a cafe.

Im looking at the likes of the Dell G3.
Current laptop is a HP Pavilion but it's seen better days.

Thanks for any suggestions.

decent option imo

700 sterling

pretty compact and portable (2.3kg) for the budget laptop segment (it's relative - not an ultrabook) but has a 1050ti card (a decent step up over the 1050) which will give you reasonable 1080p performance.

witcher 3 for example is still a fairly demanding game so a 1050ti definitely preferable over a 1050

doesn't look scary and will improve by taking off the feature stickers near the keyboard

the cpu is fine and won't hold you back imo at this level of gaming.

the battery life is going to be poor but that's the case with all gaming laptops.

you should be able to use the nvidia / windows thing of switching off the 1050ti card and using the integrated graphics when not needed to give you some more juice

can't really see better performance at the moment until you'd go up to near/over the 1000 euro mark really.

don't be put off by Medion.

They are owned by Lenovo and have been making gaming laptops for a long time.
