Well, this week on the Tom’s Guide forums, one user asked for help in finding the best Fortnite laptop for a reasonable price. I’m sorry, seiseimaeda585, but due to how taxing Fortnite is, there’s no way we could find something with your exact specifications for that price. Don’t worry, though — we have some recommendations that’ll help you decide what to do next. Generally, the minimum requirements for Fortnite are a 2.4-GHz Intel Core i3 processor, 4GB of RAM and an Intel HD 4000 graphics card. “Minimum” guarantees that it will run, but not necessarily well. The recommended specs are a 2.8-GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM and an Nvidia GTX 660 or AMD Radeon HD 7870 equivalent DX11 GPU (2GB of VRAM). Despite the recommended specs, to play Fortnite at 60 fps on Medium settings at 1080p, you need at least an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 with 2GB of VRAM, which is where the trouble with the pricing comes in. Recommendations If you’re willing to spare an extra couple hundred dollars, take a look at the Acer Nitro 5, which sells for $729 and offers a 2.3-GHz Intel Core i5-8300H processor, 8GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD and a GTX 1050 Ti GPU with 4GB of VRAM. These specs are a little beefier than you might need, but it’s quite a value, especially considering it’s not very far from your asking price. MORE: Best Laptops Under $500 To play comfortably, though, we recommend getting something a little pricier, like the Lenovo Legion Y520, which costs $899 when configured with an Intel Core i5-7300HQ processor, 8GB of RAM, a 1TB HDD and an Nvidia GTX 1060 GPU with 3GB of VRAM. It’s much more expensive, but you’d be able to run Fortnite on High and Epic settings at 60 fps. Ultimately, seiseimaeda585, we couldn’t meet your exact request, but we hope that these recommendations are helpful in your quest to earn that Victory Royale.
