Fortnite took the gaming world by storm, quickly becoming the most popular battle royale game that's supported by various platforms. What helped make the game so popular is how it's able to run on most systems, even those without dedicated GPUs. This makes it easier to choose a laptop to play some Fortnite without spending the big bucks on gaming notebooks. Here's our roundup of the best laptops for playing Fortnite.
If we're making some suggestions
All the laptops we've included in our collection will run Fortnite just fine since the game only recommends an Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 3 CPU, NVIDIA GTX 600, or AMD Radeon HD 7870 GPU, and 8GB RAM. If you're still struggling to decide, we can help a little further. Should you want a laptop that can handle not only Fortnite, but productivity work, the ASUS TUF Gaming is excellent.
It's not the best gaming laptop around, and you won't be able to turn up Fortnite graphics settings to the highest values, but it will run the game at a stable 30 FPS. For the price, you get a 10th Gen Intel Core i5-10300H processor, 8GB of DDR4 RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti GPU, and a 256GB SSD.
If you want to take your Fortnite experience to a whole new level, the Alienware m15 R5 is a better choice. Not only is it perfectly matched for the game, but it allows you to enjoy other, more demanding PC games too.
