Kindly Suggest A Budget Gaming Laptop (2022) by justBreathe: 7:49pm On Aug 07, 2022
Hello everyone!
Wekobiro!

I'm looking to get a laptop real soon, before the exchange rates go up further.

Please suggest any good, budget-friendly gaming laptop for me, that can run 2021/2022 games relatively efficiently.

I'm going to be heavy on Photography and Graphic designing programs too, as well as learning Cybersecurity courses..besides the games.

Games: PES, FIFA, COD, GTA, Football Manager

Manufacturer: Dell preferably. (I was considering the Inspiron 15)

Budget is 160-250k edakun.

Re: Kindly Suggest A Budget Gaming Laptop (2022) by Druss(m): 8:52pm On Aug 07, 2022
Recommended Specs for PES2022

Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
OS: Windows 10 - 64bit
Processor: Intel Core i5-7600 / AMD Ryzen 5 1600
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: GeForce GTX 1060 / AMD Radeon RX 590
Network: Broadband Internet connection
Storage: 50 GB available space

Recommended Specs FIFA2022

OS: 64-bit Windows 10
Processor (AMD): FX 8150 @3.6GHz or Equivalent
Processor (Intel): Core i5-3550 @3.40GHz or Equivalent
Memory: 8 GB
Graphics card (AMD): Radeon R9 270x or Equivalent
Graphics card (NVIDIA): GeForce GTX 670 or Equivalent
Online Connection Requirements: Broadband Connection
Hard-drive space: 50 GB

Recommended Specs COD i.e., medium graphics at 60fps and definitely not competitive games. If going competitive, you will need a high refresh screen 144Hz minimum.

OS: Windows 10 64-bit (latest update)
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K or AMD Ryzen R5 1600X processor
RAM: 12GB RAM
HDD: 246GB HD space
Video: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 / GTX 1660 or Radeon R9 390 / AMD RX 580
DirectX: Requires DirectX 12 compatible system
Network: Broadband Internet connection
Sound Card: DirectX Compatible

Recommended Specs GTA

OS: Windows 10 64-bit
Processor: Intel Core i7-2700K / AMD Ryzen 5 2600
Memory: 16GB
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 4GB / AMD Radeon RX 570 4GB
Disk: 45GB

From above I would recommend you get a laptop with the below minimum requirements

OS: Windows 10 64-bit
Processor: Intel Core i7 8th Gen / AMD Ryzen 5
Memory: 16GB
Graphics: 6GB GPU Nvidia 1060 could be fine. Definitely not able to get any 30 series GPU at that budget
Disk: 512GB preferably SSD
Screen: 1080p i.e., FHD at above 60Hz refresh if possible.

For the budget you called - you will need second hand. I do not know any second hand sellers. I advise watching Jarrod's reviews to see how the laptop performs or other good gaming laptop reviewers. Best of luck.

A gaming laptop with your budget may not be able to run 2021/2022 AAA games at best settings
If you’re willing to play most at 720p or 900p to get a good frame rate, then it’s good.
Best to check the gameplay for your preferred laptop specs before purchase.
Foreign used:
A laptop with Nvidia 1650 would cost above 350k
1060 would cost above 330k
1050ti would cost above 250k
970M above 250k
960M above 230k
To summarize the best for your 250k budget is Hp Omen 2017 edition with 1050ti
Followed by lenovo y700 with 960m
If you can creep above your budget with like 20-40k
Or wait to see a good deal to get the ones below, they are usually below 300k
Dell Inspiron 15 7*** gaming series with 1050ti
Hp pavilion 15 gaming with 1050ti
Acer Nitro 5 with 1050ti
Asus ROG G series with 970m
Asus TUF and Strix with 1050ti
Alienware 15 R2 with 970m
300k can get 970m or 1050ti
Which is like the sweet spot for gaming.
Like if you have 300k, you’ll be presented with a lot of choices (brands) but limited to the decent graphics card(970m-1050ti)which is still relevant, but that 250k is more like you’re scavenging.
I won’t recommend anything below 940MX, except it’s light gaming or just for graphics work.
You can check out Dell precision 15 5510 or Dell precision m3800/m4800 with Nvidia Quattro which is below 240k
I have seen Nigerian used gaming laptops with 970m and 1050ti go below 200k but they usually have one or two issues, could be cosmetic damages, keyboard, majorly dead battery or all.
A graphics laptop below 200k with give you Nvidia 840/860 series. But foreign used, like the ones below.
Hp Envy 15/17
Hp Pavilion 15/17
Asus ****
Lenovo y50
Acer aspire V series
Lenovo IdeaPad Z series.
Lenovo Flex
There’s also some Dell Inspiron and Dell latitude with dedicated graphics.
They can handle light gaming and graphics work. But not necessarily termed a gaming laptop. May Play Older titles well, but you'll have to make compromises in Quality to play newer titles at playable Framerate.
Like I said earlier, best to watch gameplay and reviews of gaming laptops before you purchase.

How much should my budget be for a new one?

I honestly don't know. It depends on market prices and tbh I don't keep an eye on such.

I know of someone who had to import a brand new Legion 5 Pro Gen 6 which more than exceeds the above spec. That was for 1.3m naira. I presume minimal 400k if spent well. It could be for less as I don't know the second hand market in Nigeria.

One reason to watch and read reviews is for the actual performance of the laptop. Throttling, total power provided to the GPU can affect performance. Also build quality can be an issue. Look out for the generation of the CPU.
