so looking at new laptops and they are expensive so would you guys recommend getting a desktop or either a ps4/xbox one
PS4 (Pro) is the easy way (for this game anyway), as it is what it is and can run the game for sure.
Gaming desktop will be considerably cheaper than a gaming laptop (similarly performing).
True and true.
A PS4 Pro (don't go for the standard version anymore) is about 300 - 400€/$ - or whatever equivalent in your currency (I guess).
A desktop PC is surely about 600 - 700 €/$ for a decent playexperience. And a laptop ... I have no clue. whenever I look at one that I find decent I end up 2000€/$ +
--------------------------- From a similiar post a view weeks ago about a budget gaming PC:
Tough nut to crack ...
- CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 1500X 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor - $174.99
- Motherboard: MSI - B350 TOMAHAWK ATX AM4 Motherboard - $84.99
- Memory: GeIL - EVO POTENZA 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory - $102.88
- Storage: Seagate - FireCuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Hybrid Internal Hard Drive - $69.99
- Video Card: MSI - Radeon RX 580 4GB ARMOR OC Video Card - $204.99
- Case: Thermaltake - Versa H21 ATX Mid Tower Case - $33.95
- Power Supply: Corsair - CXM 450W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply - $29.99
- Operating System: Microsoft - Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit - $89.89
That is $800.00 altogether for self-assembly, without screen, keyboard, mouse etc. You may need additional parts, tools maybe.
I selected the parts via online pc builder pages that compare prices available, so please understand this just as a guideline.
You can upgrade CPU (Ryzen 1800X), memory (+16Gb), GPU (Vega, 1080ti), storage in the future easily once you are willing to invest extra money.
Theoretical saving up to $200 with a end price of $600 by evaluating the following:
- If you have an OS you can save this money of course (saves $90).
- You could reduce memory to 8Gb if you really have to (for saving $50).
- Maybe cheaper B350 mainboard, but maybe with lesser potential to OC or upgrade (saving $30).
- I wouldn't recommend any smaller CPU. Also an SSD is more expensive with less capacity. The selected SSHD (or hybrid) is fast. But you could use a common HDD (saves $20).
- Graphic card ... well, this is the crucial part. A 6 or 8gb card is not required. Not for Andromeda or other games currently. 1080p is fine. There are some cheaper alternatives like MSI or Sapphire RX 470 4Gb or a MSI GTX 1050 Ti 4Gb (saves $60).
