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.

    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.
