Hi everyone! I’m writing here to ask a simple question due to my ignorance in laptops and Amd chipsets.

I’m in need of a laptop to perform simple tasks (m.office stuff) and I want to spend as less money as possible for it. Anyway, I’d also love to have a break and play some Dota 2 here and there, so I’d like a laptop capable of running this game.

Firstly I was looking into Intel laptops, and the best things I found were a i3-1115g4 uhd graphics and a i7-8565u uhd graphics, but people suggested me to look into some Vega laptop and I complied.

And here we come to the question. In the same price range, I’ve found some Ryzen 5 3500u Vega 8 laptops (around 230 euros), and I’m wondering if these specs are enough to handle Dota SMOOTHLY at low specs. With smoothly I mean without stutters and laggs, without that feeling of a slow moving mouse pointer and such. I’ve found some video on YouTube of people testing it, but they are too old to be accurate.

Hence, would such a laptop handle Dota 2? If you got one with the same specs, could you give me some feedback of your actual gaming experience?

Ty a lot, thanks in advice for any answer
