apples, oranges and tangerines

Is this laptop good enough to play world of Warcraft and games like Diablo?

Dell Latitude 3380 13.3" Business Laptop, Intel Core I5-7200U 2.5GHz, 16G DDR4, 512G SSD, HDMI, USB 3.0, Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit laptop???


Or will it need upgrading???

Hi, generally speaking Business Laptops do not do that well.

 

But with 16gig of ram and the SSD would be fine.

As outlined in search URL : https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=Dell+Latitude+3380+good+for++world+of+Warcraft+#cobssid=s

The Video Card would be the problem.

 

The I5-7200U chip can take up to 32 gig of ram as outlined below in URL

This does not mean your motherboard can.

 

There is a Driver page off of the link above that will be there till Chip is deemed obsolete.  So if your Motherboard runs this as it is onboard the chip should keep copies as released.

Dell tends to use Propitiatory Drivers. The most problems seen here is BSOD on Video Drivers.

If that happens use DDU : Reinstall last driver that worked.  EDIT : or newer Driver.

 

Keep updated and make sure BIOS is Updated.

SSD is rather small for large games.   External Drives can cause issues for gaming.

Which version of Diablo?

Get at least 16GB of RAM to play modern games, and more if you multitask. More RAM can boost system responsiveness and improve frame rates when compared to systems with less memory.

Which version of Diablo?

Diablo 4

Is a SSD or HD of 512 enough? Say I have World of Warcraft and Diablo 4???

https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/251518 I doubt it will play well due to video requirements,

I'm looking at buying this laptop for $350. You think this would handle WOW and Doable 4? Android apps through blue Stacks?

Acer Aspire 3, 15.6" FHD Display, AMD Ryzen 7 5700U Processor, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Windows 11 Home

Anything that is 350.00 is not going to last you long.

 

These are laptops : https://xoticpc.com/collections/custom-gaming-laptops-notebooks (note Iget nothing for posting the link, it is for my thoughts on laptops only.  I did buy from here and had it shipped to me, so duty, customs, money difference)

HP 14" 6460B Laptop PC with
Intel Core i5-2520M Processor, 8GB Memory,
320GB Hard Drive and Windows 10 Pro

Is it true with Windows Pro you can upgrade more RAM?

Do not know your Model info but : https://www.memorystock.com/memory/AcerAspire3A31521.html

 

Just update the SSD to what you can : https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/acer/aspire-3-a315-21

 

As you can see Model # is needed to determine anything with  certainty.  Model # is usually on the bottom of the laptop or in from start search -->System Information

It's a HP ProBook 646OB.

No to ram.  Click on Storage : https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/hp-compaq/probook-6460b

 

The link for laptops does have a payment option if have good credit.

 

Any who....... do not spend to much.
