Hey guys this is Austin. Fortnite is the hottest game out right now and recently

I did a video trying to run Fortnite on a $200 laptop.

Transition words & phrases

I've had a ton of questions asking what is a good laptop to actually play Fortnite with?

So here are going to be four of my favourite laptops at a wide range of budgets starting at 370 dollars

It's actually the follow-up to the most popular laptop on Amazon that I recently took a look at

Essentially what you're getting here is not only an update to the eighth generation of core processors

But also some key upgrades that are gonna help on the graphics side.

Inside you're getting an Intel Core i3-8130U

Now bumping up to the 8th generation of core processors means that while this is still going to be dual-core

They've added turbo boost basically meaning that as opposed to your processor being limited like 2.5 gigahertz or so

This guy will boost up to 3.4 gigahertz all day long. This guy's also rocking dual channel memory. Now

But you actually had to go and upgrade yourself whereas this has 6 gigabytes of DDR3 memory out of the box

Now the idea that is DDR3 is a little bit of a disappointment

But the important thing is is that because we have integrated graphics, Dual Channel Memory is going to make a big difference

You need all the bandwidth you can give to that internal GPU

We considered that you're spending less than 400 ollars

the rest of the laptop actually isn't going to be too bad hardware wise.

So you're going to be getting a 15.6 inch 1080p panel. It's not going to be super high res or super high quality

But again, for the budget not complaining at all

You're getting a good trackpad, getting a decent keyboard, and you're getting a wide selection of ports

Including not only a USB C but Ethernet and USB A and well, ok

I'm just saying all this because I really want to show you that this guy still has a DVD drive something that (uh)

Pretty rare on laptops these days. So for 380 bucks got a little bit of everything

So, of course, you should keep your expectations in check. With this laptop, We're going to need to turn the settings down

Well, we're gonna turn them all down actually.

So it's like fortnite we have all of our settings cranked down and we were running at 600p

But the important thing to mention is that this is a $370 laptop there

We are getting a pretty consistent 30 frames per second in. And-

-No, it's not going to be the best way of playing the game at all

but importantly we are actually able to play it with the idea that we are spending so

Little and running on a laptop which is so cheap and yet we're still getting a playable for tonight experience is pretty impressive

It does this a little something about how Epic was able to optimize the game

To really get it to be playable on such a wide range of hardware

There are some other things that you're going to notice when you're playing. The fans are actually not going to be too loud on this

Laptop, but the screen's viewing angles are fairly narrow. So you do want to make sure that's pretty much going to be dead-on

AKA I had to turn it to make sure it looks good on camera and not to my eyes

But the important thing is look it's fortnite. We're playing it 34 frames per second

However, say that your budget is a little bit higher than three hundred and seventy dollars

Well, that's where this comes in. The Acer Aspire five, not to be confused with the Aspire E15

If you guys have watched the channel for any length of time

Really like this laptop. Spending that extra money is going to get us a huge upgrade to pretty much all aspects of performance here

So first of all, we're going to be going up from a core i3 to a core i5 on this laptop

That means that we're going from dual core to quad core processor, which is a huge boon

Basically everything but especially when it comes to gaming four cores is going to be helpful

The real secret sauce here though is the MX 150 NVIDIA GPU inside

They're going from integrated to dedicated graphics, even in something that's going to be fairly modest like this is a

huge difference when it comes to gaming on Fortnite as you'll see our settings are going to be much higher than

600p with everything turned down with 30 frames per second. At least

I really hope so because I've played this before and it was much better

I like how I'm suddenly doubting my own videos. Like wait, this is, this was faster, right?

-faster and I look dumb. The rest of the laptop is going to be pretty much the same as far as hardware goes

There are some slight tweaks, but the keyboard the trackpad the screen are all going to be fairly similar

but there are some other improvements on the internals here including we go from 6 to 8 gigabytes of RAM and

Thankfully instead of having a slow mechanical hard drive

This does come standard with a 256 gigabyte SSD. Back again to Fortnight, and this is a much, much better experience

So not only were able to bump the resolution from 600 P to 1080 P

But also importantly we were able to bump up the settings from very low and turning everything off to a pretty respectable

Medium setting, and as you guys can see performance is not going to be bad

We're averaging in the neighborhood of 40-45 frames per second here now

Don't get me wrong. If all you have is 370 dollars

You're going to be able to game on the other Acer,

$200 more to go from barely being able to run the game on minimum settings, to something that's going to be downright

Playable for pretty much anyone is kind of worth it as far as I'm concerned

And of course this is going to apply to more than just playing fortnight

So having a dedicated GPU as well as a quad-core CPU

Means that this actually can do a bit of video editing maybe nothing too intense or a lot of 4k stuff

but it is going to have the power and it's going to have the RAM to handle that and on top of that all of

Is going to be very helpful when it comes to you know

Other games that are not fortnite, as if anyone still plays those. I really hope you guys can tell how much of a better experience

this is. It really is kind of hard to justify spending that much more money than

$600 when you can get something this this playable. Now, yeah, we're going to be losing a few things

So we're running in the mid 40s on the frame rate

So if we did want to get that solid 1080p60 experience

Especially with higher settings as you guys will see in a minute

But I think for the most part this is going to be totally playable and most importantly, you know

Decides to run it 10 frames per second in the middle of a battle which definitely doesn't happen to the other one at all

imagine those that you have yourself a massive budget of

$1,000 to spend on your gaming laptop or more specifically

950 dollars. With that you can get the brand-new Dell G3 gaming laptop. This is a really interesting mid-range option

So on the inside you're getting some very high-end internals, but on the outside you're getting something that looks a little bit more budget

So it's made out of plastic. It's got a 1080p display

But don't let looks fool you. This guy has the absolute specs to handle games like fortnight and much more.

Inside you're going to find a brand new intel core i7-8750H

With a full 6 cores to work with, this is almost going to be overkill for current games, certainly for fortnite.

so what that extra power is going to allow you to do is

Fairly high-end video editing as well as stuff like streaming. Stuff like that is really going to be very taxing on the CPU

So having a full 6 cores to work with is going to make multitasking and streaming super-easy

Of course, you're also going to be able to play some pretty high-end games as well. Inside the G3 is rocking a GTX 1050 TI
