Hi! So right at the beginning: Please don't come to me with "buy a desktop PC" because I already have an iMac 27 "that works really well. It's about the fact that I can't sit long and also want to be mobile.
I have been looking for a (preferably used) gaming laptop for some time. I'm actually an Apple user, but MacBooks just can't take it (speak from experience). I found two used laptops and my question would be which is the better computer of both. I want to play The Sims 4, possibly also The Sims 3 (the requirements are a bit higher) and stream live.
Number 1:
ACER NITRO 5 (568 euro, from 2018 I think)
- Windows 10 Home 64 bit installed and already activated
- WD Blue 3D NAND 500GB SATA-SSD M.2 2280 6GB / s
1000 GB SATA hard drive
- 8th generation Intel Core I5-8300H Coffee Lake architecture
@ 2.3GHz / 4.0GHz Boost, 14Nm manufacturing, CoolBoost Technology, HyperThreading and UHD 630 graphics
- Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 4GB GDDR5
- 16 GB DDR4 memory
Number 2:
MSI GP72 7RD Leopard PRO (655 euro, from 2017)
- Windows 10 Pro
- Intel® HM175
- GeForce® GTX 1050 Ti with 4GB GDDR5
- DDR4, 2 slots, 16GB,
- Intel i7-7700HQ 7th GEN 2.80Ghz
- Intel HD 630
- 1x 128GB M.2 SSD combo (NVMe PCIe Gen3 / SATA)
- 1x 2.5 "1TB SATA HDD
Buy a desktop pc
I would take the nitro.
But I'm not so involved in streaming, but think that the CPU is rather required.
Also larger and significantly faster SSD
I don't think the difference between TI and not TI will make much difference in the GPU.
I have already written above why I will NOT buy a desktop PC.
Thank you!
Haha was just fun sorry.
