PUBG needs decent GPU

Prefer gaming laptop or regular laptop?

Build quality is decent, nothing special. Battery life is good. Depends on your usage

Actually PUBG requires both decent CPU and GPU icon_idea.gif

The only issues is that if he needs an ultraportable with a decent CPU, he'll have to pay 2-3x over for a 'slim' gaming laptop with a 9300H/9750H sweat.gif

Of course, the ultraportability also comes with issues such as thermal throttling sweat.gif

Normal ultraportables tend to have ULV CPUs which makes it not good for games, and the cooling might be sufficient for that load too icon_idea.gif

1. Budget :
Please recommend to me mid-range and high-range stuff

2. Usage :
- Heavy on graphics
- Audio mixing
- Coding and programming
- Some video editing
- Occasional gaming on the side

3. Requirements :
- Best if the CPU and GPU can take the constant stress well
- Removable battery if possible (pretty sure newer models are all built in nowadays)

Most laptops will likely to throttle due to its thin form factor (unless you want to go the route of using liquid metal + undervolt) icon_idea.gif

Although the problem right now is some laptops won't even let you to do undervolting due to mitigation of Intel's Plundervolt vulnerability sweat.gif

Even the best doesn't come close

Most laptops don't have good speakers anymore due to the unfortunate arms war on shaving as much z height as possible (which forces manufactures to use smaller speakers and removing things like subwoofers) sweat.gif

If you want laptops that have good speakers right now it's pretty much the realm of DTR laptops like the Clevo X170, or even old laptops like the legendary Dell L502X/Asus N55SF sweat.gif

Technically yes, however the process is not as straight forward from what I know, since there might be compatibility and driver related issues

Tech Armory do sell Razer Core X.

Also the CPU may end up bottlenecking the GPU, considering most ultraportables have quite underpowered ULV CPUs sweat.gif
