The keyboard is decent, the trackpad is actually surprisingly nice and important, you are going to get the rest of the internals to back up that awesome processor and decent graphics card. 8 gigabytes of RAM which can easily be expanded up to 16 gigabytes, as well as a 128 gigabyte SSD that is backed up with a one terabyte hard drive.

Jump into Fortnite and here at 1080p on high settings, The G3 actually does a pretty decent job. So right now we're averaging between 40 to 50 frames per second. It's a little bit higher right now since I'm looking at rocks, but this is going to be a playable experience.

Now what you'll notice is that while this is definitely not the huge jump up that it was going from integrated graphics to the MX 150 as someone's chasing me and about to shoot me, but this is going to be a noticeable difference and especially when you're playing other games. That are, well, not Fortnite, that extra GPU resource is going to be very helpful.

No! They made me dance! No! No! No! Nooo! Performance though is actually really nice here. Now the difference between medium and high settings is actually fairly noticeable. You kind of think about it like going from PS4 to a PS4 Pro or something. You're not getting that same resolution boost, but you are getting what's still a pretty smooth experience.

That is not really going to be held back too much by performance if high settings aren't good enough for you though. May I interest you in this? The Asus is rocking the Core i9-8950HK. Not only is this going to be the first core i, never put into a laptop, but it is obscenely fast. So while it's still going to be six core like the Core i7 model, but it is going to clock way way higher. This one specifically has been overclocked to four point eight gigahertz.

Keep mind I'm talking about a laptop here, a six core 4.8 gigahertz laptop that my friends is ridiculous overkill at its finest also inside this beast is a full GTX 1080 graphics card 64 gigabytes of RAM three SSDs and raid as well as well some future back problems if you want to carry this with you every day it is a little bit large some would say a little bit ridiculous others would say kind of perfect.

I would say this my friends is the way that Fortnite was meant to be played. So, of course we have full epic settings here because this is going to be a 17.3 inch 1080p panel we're going to be able to not only max out the resolution but also the framerate so this is a 144 Hertz g-sync panel, and we're actually being able to pretty much fully saturate right now.

I'm running between 130 and 140 frames per second on full max settings on my $1000 laptop. How I mention that this thing is ridiculous yet. So there's gonna be a couple major upgrades between $1000 laptop, which most people consider to be very high-end and something that's going to be this completely insane.

First of all, of course We're running on full epic settings and you actually do notice a difference in the graphical settings have definitely been turned up but almost more important than that we get a much smoother experience. All the other laptops have 60 Hertz panels and while they look nice running at something like a 120 130 frames per second is So so much smoother.

So what you're gonna find here is that knowledge is a response time going to be faster But just everything about it is just buttery smooth It's kind of hard to see the cross on a YouTube video where we're obviously not recording in such a high frame rate. But in person, it looks absolutely insane. You're such a contrast in the beginning this video I was playing on a $370 laptop with integrated graphics running on minimum settings like 30 frames per second and now we're playing on one of the most expensive laptops in the world with the highest settings across the board on Fortnite.

And Yeah it's a slightly different experience. I got to say so there you have it, the best laptops to play Fortnite with in 2018. So of course, there's good budget options There's some really good options in the middle or if you want to be totally insane and show off to all your friends You can start saving $5000 now

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enHey guys this is Austin. Fortnite is the hottest game out right now and recentlyI did a video trying to run Fortnite on a $200 laptop.However, after that videoI'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 dollarsThis is the 2018 Acer Aspire E15It's actually the follow-up to the most popular laptop on Amazon that I recently took a look atEssentially what you're getting here is not only an update to the eighth generation of core processorsBut also some key upgrades that are gonna help on the graphics side.Inside you're getting an Intel Core i3-8130UNow bumping up to the 8th generation of core processors means that while this is still going to be dual-coreThey've added turbo boost basically meaning that as opposed to your processor being limited like 2.5 gigahertz or soThis guy will boost up to 3.4 gigahertz all day long. This guy's also rocking dual channel memory. NowThat was an option on the previous modelBut you actually had to go and upgrade yourself whereas this has 6 gigabytes of DDR3 memory out of the boxNow the idea that is DDR3 is a little bit of a disappointmentBut the important thing is is that because we have integrated graphics, Dual Channel Memory is going to make a big differenceYou need all the bandwidth you can give to that internal GPUWe considered that you're spending less than 400 ollarsthe 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 qualityBut again, for the budget not complaining at allYou're getting a good trackpad, getting a decent keyboard, and you're getting a wide selection of portsIncluding not only a USB C but Ethernet and USB A and well, okI'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 everythingSo, of course, you should keep your expectations in check. With this laptop, We're going to need to turn the settings downWell, 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 600pBut the important thing to mention is that this is a $370 laptop thereWe 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 allbut importantly we are actually able to play it with the idea that we are spending soLittle and running on a laptop which is so cheap and yet we're still getting a playable for tonight experience is pretty impressiveIt does this a little something about how Epic was able to optimize the gameTo really get it to be playable on such a wide range of hardwarenow, of courseThere 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 thisLaptop, but the screen's viewing angles are fairly narrow. So you do want to make sure that's pretty much going to be dead-onAKA I had to turn it to make sure it looks good on camera and not to my eyesBut the important thing is look it's fortnite. We're playing it 34 frames per secondHowever, say that your budget is a little bit higher than three hundred and seventy dollarsWell, that's where this comes in. The Acer Aspire five, not to be confused with the Aspire E15We're just taking a look at. NowIf you guys have watched the channel for any length of timeyou'll know that I reallyReally like this laptop. Spending that extra money is going to get us a huge upgrade to pretty much all aspects of performance hereSo first of all, we're going to be going up from a core i3 to a core i5 on this laptopThat means that we're going from dual core to quad core processor, which is a huge boonwellBasically everything but especially when it comes to gaming four cores is going to be helpfulThe real secret sauce here though is the MX 150 NVIDIA GPU insideThey're going from integrated to dedicated graphics, even in something that's going to be fairly modest like this is ahuge difference when it comes to gaming on Fortnite as you'll see our settings are going to be much higher than600p with everything turned down with 30 frames per second. At leastI really hope so because I've played this before and it was much betterI like how I'm suddenly doubting my own videos. Like wait, this is, this was faster, right?But what if it's not--faster and I look dumb. The rest of the laptop is going to be pretty much the same as far as hardware goesThere are some slight tweaks, but the keyboard the trackpad the screen are all going to be fairly similarbut there are some other improvements on the internals here including we go from 6 to 8 gigabytes of RAM andThankfully instead of having a slow mechanical hard driveThis does come standard with a 256 gigabyte SSD. Back again to Fortnight, and this is a much, much better experienceSo not only were able to bump the resolution from 600 P to 1080 PBut also importantly we were able to bump up the settings from very low and turning everything off to a pretty respectableMedium setting, and as you guys can see performance is not going to be badWe're averaging in the neighborhood of 40-45 frames per second here nowDon't get me wrong. If all you have is 370 dollarsYou're going to be able to game on the other Acer,but for my money spending$200 more to go from barely being able to run the game on minimum settings, to something that's going to be downrightPlayable for pretty much anyone is kind of worth it as far as I'm concernedAnd of course this is going to apply to more than just playing fortnightSo having a dedicated GPU as well as a quad-core CPUMeans that this actually can do a bit of video editing maybe nothing too intense or a lot of 4k stuffbut it is going to have the power and it's going to have the RAM to handle that and on top of that all ofThis stuff including the CPU and the GPUIs going to be very helpful when it comes to you knowOther games that are not fortnite, as if anyone still plays those. I really hope you guys can tell how much of a better experiencethis 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 thingsSo we're running in the mid 40s on the frame rateSo if we did want to get that solid 1080p60 experienceEspecially with higher settings as you guys will see in a minuteWe do have to spend a bit more moneyBut I think for the most part this is going to be totally playable and most importantly, you knowwe're not gonna die because itDecides to run it 10 frames per second in the middle of a battle which definitely doesn't happen to the other one at allimagine those that you have yourself a massive budget of$1,000 to spend on your gaming laptop or more specifically950 dollars. With that you can get the brand-new Dell G3 gaming laptop. This is a really interesting mid-range optionSo 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 budgetSo it's made out of plastic. It's got a 1080p displayBut 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 i7-8750HWith 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 isFairly high-end video editing as well as stuff like streaming. Stuff like that is really going to be very taxing on the CPUSo having a full 6 cores to work with is going to make multitasking and streaming super-easyOf 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 TINow this is not going to be a crazy high end GPUBut it's going to be very much in the mid-range and importantly, for what we're going to be doing,It's going to be plenty for that 1080p display, which I will mention is much nicer than the ones on the much cheaper Acer'sIt's still not going to blow you away. It doesn't have any like G-Sync or anything like high refresh ratesBut importantly the display is definitely not garbage town, which is always appreciated when you're spending almost a thousand dollars.Interestingly, Dell offers this in a fairly wide range of colorsSo in addition to the standard black, that you find on most gaming laptops,you can get it in this which is blue or you can get it in a white and blue which honestlyKind of feel like I should have went with insteadBut on top of that you're also going to be able to get blue on the inside. A nd what is really coolIs that even the backlighting on the keyboard is blue. It definitely stands out compared to pretty much any other black and red gaming laptopOut there. Don't expect any major surprises when it comes to the rest of the hardwareIt is made of plasticSo it's not going to be the most solid feeling laptop on the worldbut there's nothing really that makes me worry. The keyboard is decent, the trackpad is actually surprisingly nice andimportantly you are going to get the rest of the internals to back up that awesome processor and decent graphics card.8 gigabytes of RAM which can easily be expanded up to 16 gigabytes, as well as a128 gigabyte SSD that is backed up with a one terabyte hard drive. Jump into fortnight and here at 1080p on high settingsThe G3 actually does a pretty decent job. So right now we're averaging between 40 to 50 frames per secondIt's a little bit higher right now since I'm looking at rocks, but this is going to be a playable experienceNow what you'll notice is that while this is definitely not the huge jump up that it was going from the integrated graphics to theMX 150 as someone's chasing me and about to shoot meumBut this is going to be a noticeable difference and especially when you're playing other gamesThat are, well, not fortnite, that extra GPU resource is going to be very helpful.No! They made me dance! No! No! No! Nooo!Performance though is actually really nice here. Now the difference between medium and high settings is actually fairly noticeableyou kind of think about it is like going fromPS4 to a PS4 Pro or somethingYou're not getting that same resolution boost, but you are getting what's still a pretty smooth experienceThat is not really going to be held back too much by performance if high settings aren't good enough for you thoughMay I interest you in this? The assuit are OGG 703 aka a$5,000 gaming laptop that will crushEverything so not only is this going to be one of the biggest and heaviest?Laptops that have ever taken a look at for the specs inside are going to be absolutely ridiculous insideThe Asus is rocking the Core i9-8950HK. Not only is this going to be the first core?I never put into a laptop, but it is obscenely fastSo while it's still going to be six core like the Core i7 modelBut it is going to clock way way higher.
