Yeah mine currently is about 5 years, laptop alone cost me 750 bucks with an i5 and BotN on high runs now at about 25-40 at times. However Im starting to notice that more modern games just arent cutting it. Cyberpunk for example while "playable" the experience is honestly ass and that's with everything on the bare lows.Yeah, a 10 year old laptop is not going to be able to comfortable run a modern game. I would consider an "entry level gaming laptop" to be a $700-$1000, 15 inch, generally i5 processor ones. The nice ones go up to $2,000 but then they get ridiculous. I don't think anyone needs to drop $4,000 on a top of the line Razor.
It looks like the ASUS - ROG Zephyrus 14” is currently having a big sale. Down to $1,000 from $1,700. That's a quality one, really packs a lot of power into a smaller form factor.
It's perfect for doing a lot of non gaming things or if your games are pretty much pre-2019 released. However it no longer reaches the minimums. So Im forcefully having to build a desktop one but Im not sure which specs should I aim for to have a machine that could last at least about 10 years without requiring an upgrade, at least, not for running from passing the recommended to not even reach the minimums cause it gets quite annoying when a game is simply base framerate unplayable on low.
