Going to bed rn so I won't be able to reply to ur comments, but tomorrow i will.

@tempegoreng,

alr ty!

@tempegoreng, I have a Thinkpad T450s and it runs roblox smoothly

The laptop you're trying to get is going to be crappy as for development, and gaming. Tell me your budget, and I'll try making you a desktop PC, not a laptop. Laptops are frequently overheating, bad, and easily break. Meanwhile desktop PCs allow you to change their parts when you earn money for them. From what I see, your budget is around 250$. With this budget, I doubt you'd get any good PC that will handle Roblox easily. Especially, if there's no GPU, and just an integrated GPU. But, if you really wanna get a laptop, I'll try to link you up with a laptop when I find one. I'll dm you with a link when I'm done. Does that sound fine?

@mliny, the power of ThinkPads, I love them

@VoidableMethod,

Sure!

@RealNickk,

Looked at some of the reviews and most were good. When its friday I'll tell my dad to order the Dell one. Thanks for the information!

"4gb of ram on a windows 11 is fine"

:skull

@Astronemi, it doesn't require 8 GB of RAM. 4 GB is the minimum to make it run smoothly. But yes, going under 8 GB isn't the best choice.

@RiceUsesArchBtw,

pretty sure im getting the dell one (8 gigs ram)

idk yet, i'm gonna tell my dad to order either today or tomorrow (the day he says hes going to order it)

@Astronemi,

I won't. I'll ask my dad if he can order the dell one that has 8 gigs ddr4 memory. Hopefully I get it

It's great to hear that your dad is ordering you a new laptop as a reward for doing well in school! To ensure you get a laptop that can run Roblox smoothly and meets your needs, here are a few suggestions on what you can tell your dad:

Emphasize the importance of system requirements: Explain to your dad that Roblox has certain system requirements that need to be met for optimal performance. Share the minimum and recommended specifications mentioned by Roblox, such as processor speed, RAM, and graphics capabilities.

Focus on processing power: Roblox relies on the CPU (Central Processing Unit) for smooth gameplay. Ask your dad to consider a laptop with a fast and modern processor, preferably an Intel Core i5 or higher, or an AMD Ryzen 5 or higher.

Prioritize RAM: Having sufficient RAM is crucial for multitasking and running applications smoothly. Aim for at least 8GB of RAM, although 16GB would be even better, as it allows for smoother gameplay and prevents slowdowns when running other programs simultaneously.

Whats the budget buddy
