Laptop Recommendations

[jmuelly]

I know this isnt exactly OOTP related but I'm looking to get a new laptop to better perform with OOTP. I have a fairly old laptop that I'm using now, it's not terrible but it really crunches hard on some aspects of simulation.

Maybe the game overall is just a crunch and it's normal, but it's got me looking at potential options.

Currently I'm running a laptop with a Intel I5-6200 2.3 GHz, 8gb ram.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I have a 14” MacBook Pro laptop. I like the size except when playing OOTP. 16” would be better for OOTP.
I frequently play in bed while wife reads. I once tried a windows gaming laptop but it was hot and noisy. No such problem with MacBook. On MacBook much harder to move OOTP to new version, at least for me.
The game runs the same on windows and MacBook. Most moderate priced windows should handle the game if you go with windows.

You want a desktop, set up as a server. Run OOTP on the server and access via the client.

I don't know how useful this is, but I run it on a pretty monster desktop, and a Macbook Air with a M1 chip. The Macbook just crunches the hell out of this game. IDK if that means it's particularly processor intensive (despite having a late gen Intel on my desktop), but those M chips are monsters.
