Six deals on laptops that can run Fallout 4 (from $700 to $1,200)

November 10th marks the release of Fallout 4 – a game so highly anticipated many gamers are expected to upgrade their existing desktops or buy an all new laptop just for the occasion. With Intel’s 6th generation “Skylake” processors getting added to laptop configurations at major manufacturers for the first time this month, now might make sense to jump on a new gaming laptop.

What should you be looking for in a gaming laptop in 2015? Fallout 4 is going to be demanding, so you’ll need something like a Quad Core processor 3rd generation or later. (The minimum CPU to run is a 2nd Gen Core i5-2300.) Also, while integrated graphics have come a long way in recent years, you’re going to need a discrete mobile GPU like a GTX 950M or better — otherwise you’ll be stuck on low resolution settings at best. Furthermore, you’ll need a minimum of 8GB RAM and 30GB of hard drive space – it’s not a small game.
