Hi,
I need a laptop for the summer. It needs to run TF2 at a good enough framerate for ESEA with mastercomfig. 13" or 14" would be ideal, but 15" is okay. This is a long shot, but I was hoping to get one that can drive my monitor at 144 Hz. The thing is, I have an old BenQ XL2411z, which doesn't support 144 Hz over HDMI and doesn't have DisplayPort. Any recommendations?

you could probably just get a standard hp pavilion model, use potato config, never worry about peformance and use the remaining $650 to buy an actual tower while you're at it
that's what i'm doing right now, waiting on a new processor because intel never quite patched out spectre and kinda trashed my i5
i have a 17" 8gb ram pavilion with quad core amd garbage processor that i didnt know this one had when i bought it, good enough to run the games i want to play provided i dont care how they look. most i can say about monitor ports for this thing is it only has an hdmi port, which can suck if you have an acer monitor that only supports dvi and vga but otherwise you should be fine

I already have a desktop, but I'll be away from home and I need something portable for work. I don't think I could bring or ship my tower and just buy a craptop for work, but I'll look into it.
