Looking to get some Total War Games again, Rome, maybe Empire, Shogun. Wondering if those cheap like 200 dollar laptops will work for that, and if walmart is an ok place to get it, as best buy has burned me on defective electronics post 2020.
Thanks for any advice, was just going to use steam to play.
I am not too computer savvy, I do want to switch to linux but it may have to wait for a bit.
How much more would I have to pay for a laptop to be able to play these games? My old laptop played them just fine, until the cooling fan broke. That was 500 dollars or so, but bought back 15 years ago before they cheaped out on everything more.
If the problem with your old laptop is just that the fan broke, you might be better off just getting a new fan. If you’re near a big city there’s probably a repair shop that will do it.
… although I guess 15 years is a pretty old in computer years. When my laptop died recently I went with a second-hand thinkpad for $300 (edit: not as old as I thought it was, it’s from 2021.) But that was a year ago before prices for everything went crazy.
