I think my 2001 gateway would run minecraft
And the 6 in 8k phone will be 280 dollars?

iphone with 828p still cost atleast 750 dollars now. It cost more with higher spec.
Did I just read that not having a 1080p screen is like living in North Korea?

You'd be surprised how resource intensive it is, then.

How about fortnite? It doesn't have to be stellar, but looking for something cheap for my kid (and not a desktop) so that he can see more than the 5 pixels he sees on the current AMD A6 laptop playing fortnite (have everything set on loooow).

Cpu speed is a little lower than 7200u. Gpu speed is about 620 on intel side. Screen is bad, but usable (Acer aspire always skimp here). I am not seeing that it has back lit key board. 1tb hdd. Buy a 500 ssd for 50 to 80 dollars and you are set. I think I saw an m.2 slot in one of the tear down picture. Please let me know if that is true.

Has hdmi 2.0 port. Crazy good as a 1st laptop, emergency laptop or a media laptop. You can set up to close the lid with it always on.

2200 chip is 80.
Itx mb is 80.
8gb ram is 80.
Itx case.

Fortnite is above 30fps on low.

good hardware for the price, but the sub HD resolution holds it back.

Thank you! I've been looking for a while now for the perfect sub $300 laptop. This is pretty darn close. I think I'm gonna pull the trigger.
