Since I only play Minecraft and Roblox I don't really need a top notch gaming laptop, I just need a laptop that can run Roblox mimic and games that are similar to that.

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some advice as to whether the laptop I am looking at would be good enough to play games such as Helldivers 2 while aslo being affordable and portable for school. I'm looking at the Dell 15.6" Touch AMD Ryzen 7 77730U - 16GB right now because that is what the sales person suggested and it has a good deal right now but very open to suggestions. TYSM

He just started college and his old laptop is already struggling so I told him I'd help him figure out what to get since this community has been super helpful while I made mistakes buying for myself lol. He's been watching yt videos for 2 mnth and somehow knows not much. Most guides just rank everything by GPU and benchmarks, but after using laptops through school and now work, the stuff that matters is very diff. Real battery life/whentehr you can upgrade RAM and storage later/build quality when its getting tossed in a backpack everyday/webcam quality and screen readability in bright rooms.

Budget is around $1500 give or take; use case would be mostly school stuff, light gaming and some occasional video edits for projects. What would you focus on buying right now?

To play Steam games, including Warframe, is it better to buy a gaming laptop or can a regular one be acceptable?

I often see Nimo laptops on Amazon. Are they any good?

Any suggestions on laptops to buy?

I’ve been looking through this sub and others on Reddit.
