Tech Nerd Ramblings

Used, new is a bit out of my budget ATM (well, at least for what I want)

Yah. I always buy used since new costs too much. Just about the only thing that I would only buy new would be storage.

I don't think that one can take a dedicated GPU.

Are you planning on buying used or new?

That's good to know. I won't necessarily take that one out of consideration just yet if it can run the games I like at a good level but I will definitely consider other models too that either come with a GPU or have the ability to have a half decent one added. Don't need the latest and greatest, my highest priority is hunter call of the wild but I think house flipper might be a better measure for graphics performance as my laptop does struggle with that game even though I don't play it that often

I believe you may be able to add one at a reduced speed with the mini PCIe slot the wifi card uses.

I've got an Alienware Alpha R1 and it has a built in GPU, but that thing is quite dated by today's standards, and it's NVIDIA.
