Looking to get some Total War Games again, Rome, maybe Empire, Shogun. Wondering if those cheap like 200 dollar laptops will work for that, and if walmart is an ok place to get it, as best buy has burned me on defective electronics post 2020.

Thanks for any advice, was just going to use steam to play.

    Given the current price of RAM and SSDs, I don’t see how a $200 laptop is even viable to sell. Unless it is barely scraping by on specs or comes loaded with craplets and spyware.

    Just doing a quick search, all I’m seeing is stuff in the $350 range with 4 or 8 GB of RAM. I’m not familiar with the genre of games you play, but I don’t think they would run well on that. Or run at all. Haven’t even looked at the gpu or cpu specs.

    I would try to find something used and compare specs against the min and recommended hardware requirements for the games you play.
