Best laptop for mods ??
Hiya! What is the best gaming laptop for someone who has a ton of (alpha) cc and a ton of mods? My Macbook Air is exploding :D I want something under 1K that runs smoothly and has good graphics for c...
@chW33Nie Yes, you can plug a monitor into a laptop as long as you have the correct type of cable. It looks like the Victus has a full-size HDMI port, meaning you could use a standard HDMI cable to connect it to a monitor, but see for yourself (and read the manual) before spending any money on a cable. The laptop will definitely have something though, if not a full-size HDMI port then perhaps mini HDMI or mini DP. Suitable cables should be cheap if the monitor in question supports HDMI or DisplayPort; otherwise, you might need an adapter.
I'd still try playing on the Victus's screen before spending any money at all. Laptop screens are small, sure, but you can also get really close, and 1920x1080 looks much more crisp and clear on a 16" screen than a 24" monitor.
Is this a good option too? ASUS TUF F15 Gaming Laptop, 15.6" 144Hz FHD IPS-Type Display, Intel Core i5-10300H Processor, GeForce GTX 1650, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB PCIe SSD, Wi-Fi 6, Windows 11 Home, FX506LH-AS51 https://a.co/d/6GskBfu
@chW33Nie It's fine, not as good as the others, but still capable of running Sims 4 on ultra settings if you don't add any demanding custom content. The RTX 3050 in the laptops I linked is about 30% faster in gaming, on average, than the GTX 1650 this laptop has, with the usual caveat that there's a lot of variation from one game to the next. That may mean the difference between turning down some settings to high and not as future packs are released.
Still, the laptop isn't a terrible choice by any means, so if you like it better than the others for one reason or another, it should do fine.
