Which laptop to run PoE smoothly

Hey,

I want to buy laptop that will be able to run Path of Exile smoothly. PoE is the only game I play (atleast currently). I am travelling a lot, so laptop is the only option I have.

After doing some research on websites I was able to findout what specs I may need (still not 100% sure). If I may ask for advice which laptop I should chose? Below you can find 3 MSI specs (i prefer the first one) each a bit different than other one. Are those specs enough to run poe smoothly (fast loading, stable 60 fps)? I am open to any recommendation / suggestion in case there are better options available.

Budget: 1000 - 1200 euro

Laptop specs I am currently looking at:


====================== OLD in spoiler - Look below it ===========================




=========================== NEW 2 specs ==================================

1). MSI GL62
i7 7700HQ (2.80 GHz - 3.80 GHz) quad core
16gb RAM
SSD M.2 256 gb + HDD 1000 gb
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (4096 mb) + intel HD graphics 630
Laptop is covered with aluminum + keyboard is highlighted
Price: 1275 euro

2). MSI GP62
i7 7700HQ (2.80 GHz - 3.80 GHz) quad core
16gb RAM
SSD M.2 256 gb + HDD 1000 gb
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 (2048 mb) + intel HD graphics 630
Price: 1150 euro

Thanks for help!

7700

Yeah, the first one will do great. Put PoE on the SSD and you're golden. :)

all 3 should work first one is the best ofcourse tho xd

I agree that those 3 will run smoothly. The only problem if you get unstable gateway connection.

go for 1060 gtx cause 1050 sux, look for one with 6700hq and 1060gtx the price will be around 1200-1300 euros, dont even consider 950 cards they are like 100% less powerfull.

Thank you for help!

I have searched a bit more. GTX1060 is really expensive in my country and poorly available. I realised that I need more RAM and more SSD space, so I have found another two specs I am considering right now (bolded differences):

1). MSI GL62
i7 7700HQ (2.80 GHz - 3.80 GHz) quad core
16gb RAM
SSD M.2 256 gb + HDD 1000 gb
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (4096 mb) + intel HD graphics 630
Laptop is covered with aluminum + keyboard is highlighted
Price: 1275 euro

2). MSI GP62
i7 7700HQ (2.80 GHz - 3.80 GHz) quad core
16gb RAM
SSD M.2 256 gb + HDD 1000 gb
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 (2048 mb) + intel HD graphics 630
Price: 1150 euro

Is it worth to go with 1050 Ti just for PoE better experience? In addition i will have shiny keyboard and more solid (aluminum interior) laptop.

Thanks in advance for replies!

Performance wise they will be identical for POE.

So if you're concerned about money get option 2. If you want the aesthetics of the laptop and keyboard get option 1. The graphics card in option 1 is better so if you want to future proof yourself for any other games then this option is good.

Just depends if you want to spend that 125 dollars more for not much... unless you're playing other games or doing graphics/video work

What a waste of money - buy pc or xbox ffs.

For anything else than rendering/gaming any trash old laptop for 100$ will be good.

If you MUST get a laptop, then go for the one with the 1050ti since its more powerful than the other 1050. Although building a PC at the same price point would yield much better performance.
