Tech for Battletech

[ColMacleod]

Hi All,

I am in need of advice for a laptop or computer build in order to play Battletech. My current laptop does not meet the game's specification to play it. I am going for inexpensive as possible!?!

I tried an inexpensive $600 AMD-processor laptop and it was not a good experience.

I finally bout a $1000 (on sale from $1200) gaming laptop at COSTCO and it has made all the difference. :bow:

I'm not across how taxing the game is from a CPU/GPU/RAM standpoint, but I would recommend having an SSD to keep loading times low. I was installing an application on the same drive that was running Battletech the other day and while there was no lag in missions I definitely noticed the added wait time when loading missions.

My first SSD has made all the difference for me. Load times are lightning fast... at least relatively, I believe my game’s stability is even better.

An SSD is surely the High Tide that raises all Boa.... err, that makes the Big and Stompy, all the Bigger, Stompier and AWESOME! : )

Oddly enough, it works under nVidia's GeForce Now online service. Shifts the load from the local computer to your internet connection. Looks great and since it's turn based anyway, the small amount of latency is a non-issue. You can run the game in Ultra with a marginal laptop as long as the network connection is solild.

whatever you get make sure it meets recommended requirements.
especially 16g ram
also install onto a SSD.
