The $450 Fortnite Laptop #Helpful Post

hey guys this is Austin we've done our

fair share of fortnight videos but today

we're taking a look at what might just

be the best cheap laptop for fortnight

the $450 Lenovo IdeaPad 330 s take a

look around and this is a surprisingly

solidly built laptop so lenovo did opted

to go with aluminum for the build and

while for the most part it's sturdy

there's going to be a little bit of

screen flex as well as a little bit in

the chassis

it does feel nicely sturdy there's also

a reasonable selection of ports so

Lenovo loaded it up with a USB C port

there's also going to be a USB 3.0 which

can charge your device even the laptops

closed in HDMI and if we flip the laptop

to the other side there's one more USB

3.0 port as well as an SD card reader

open the IdeaPad up and there's a full

size keyboard with a number oh it's also

backlit which is especially nice to see

at this kind of price point usually when

it comes to budget laptops there's a lot

of blue air I'm bored well there's going

to be a little bit on the Lenovo I've

got to say it's actually not going to be

that bad and of course it's going to be

easily removable unlike some other

laptops that you spend hours trying to

uninstall the xviii trial of McAfee on

you know what I'm talking about 18 with

a sometimes look ok I feel there's like

three different McAfee things they load

on laptops these days there's like

security there's like the internet

security and there's like some totally

something-something uni any of that just

to hit uninstall with the SSD it's nice

and fast ok 18 is an exaggeration I'm

sorry it's 3 open up the IdeaPad you're

actually going to find a few interesting

things at least if you're a nerd like me

first of all we have our processor now

this guy is rocking the Core i5 a 250

you as well as the new 8th gen Intel

chips that means that we're going to be

getting a full quad core design which is

really nice and I 450 dollar laptop

there's a lot of interesting stuff

inside here though first of all it seems

like there's almost definitely some

version of this maybe not this laptop at

least this board that does take

advantage of an MX 150 graphics card

that looks to be about the right size

for the GPU as well as where the gddr5

would go but there's some other

interesting stuff here including the

Intel AC Wi-Fi card it's going to be

dual band should be plenty powerful

plenty fast and on top of that we also

do have a few good bytes of RAM this

we're going to be 4 gigs here as well as

4 gigs on the back side running a dual

channel and that is going to be very

important to keep those you HD 620

graphics on the core i5 nice and fed

that enough specs for you cuz I've got

even more you should be wary of which

model of this laptop you pick up most

are going to be rocking a 1 terabyte

hard drive some do take advantage of the

m2 slot give you some octane support but

what we've got here is instead a 128

gigabyte two and a half inch SATA drive

I say that because of course that's

going to give you the best performance

out of the box this one performs pretty

reasonable but if you ever want to

upgrade this guy as opposed to just

throwing in an extra hard drive you're

pretty much limited to adding a second

SSD in that m2 slot last but certainly

at least on Austin's tour of the inside

of a laptop we have the 30 watt hour

battery now that looks like a pretty

large cell however 30 watt hours is not

a lot for a laptop part of that is

because this is actually partially

hollow it looks bigger than it really is

31 hours is going to be not to get

somewhere between 5 to 6 hours of use

but it's not going to be a lot and it is

a very easy way to tell that lenovo was

cutting some costs when they designed

this laptop put all this together and

what you've got is a pretty decent a

little laptop but of course the real

question is can it play fortnight's jump

into the game and what we're getting is

an incredibly playable 30 frames per

second because you know that's what all

games should run at right real talk

though for for $50 laptop is I've run

into a tree this is actually going to be

very very playable so I didn't have to

turn down some of the settings we are

running at 768 P I'll get into a little

bit of that later but we were running on

mostly low settings but the view

distance bumped up we've got motion blur

on and importantly we have not like

vsync on but also the 30 frames per

second cap so this can run a little bit

higher than 30 if you want Capet we're

running around like 40 but it gets a

little bit erratic and when we turn on

vsync it actually smooths out the action

quite a bit it's not going to be as

smooth as a full 60 FPS experience but

this is a $450 laptop and it's going to

be completely playable with Fortnight

with the core i5 inside it's actually

going to stay reasonably cool it doesn't

get above 65 degrees for the most part

on the actual processor and because we

aren't going to be completely taxing it

with that 30 FPS cap it means that the

system itself doesn't get all that warm

either sure it's going to be a little

bit warm where that fan is underneath

the screen but to the touch the laptop

is nice and cool Tovar you might be

asking yourself why exactly am i playing

at 1366 by 768 on the resolution and

that my friends is the biggest issue

with the Lenovo IdeaPad 3

is the screen not great this is a 15.6

inch 1366 by 768 screen and not only is

that not going to be all that impressive

to begin with but it's also a really

cheap TN panel so the viewing angles as

you can see here are well pretty

terrible the colors is not going to be

accurate whatsoever there's just a lot

of issues with this screen and that

doesn't even get into the idea this is a

pretty large display with almost no

screen real estate now to be fair when

it comes to fortnight the screen is

actually going to be totally fine in

fact it's almost a slight advantage

because we can't play as a full native

screen reza

for almost everything else though it's

just not going to be all that great so

there is a 1080p option that you can

upgrade this laptop with but the problem

there is that once you start upgrading

the screen the price of the laptop will

quickly get above $500 and for that kind

of money actually I do kind of prefer

the isuzu both better recently took a

look at it then there's the issue of

what this thing actually costs so I was

able to pick it up for 450 dollars and

that price it's solid unfortunately when

I took a look at it this morning a lot

of these were running for a little bit

closer to 530 and again at that price it

gets to be a little bit of a harder sell

if you're able to pick this up for $450

it's a pretty solid package with the

core i5 eight gigs of ram as well as

standard SSD but that screen is a big

big issue so if you're looking for an

entry-level for night experience by all

means pick it up other than that though

you may want to look at slightly higher

end options
