So I'm trying to find a laptop for poker but all of the advice online is difficult to understand.
I want to play 20+ tables at a time - mainly on here but probably a few tables from another site too.
I don't fully understand what specs are needed to do this comfortably.
I'm guessing a graphics card isn't crucial so most important things are RAM and CPU.

The first one looks great but since it's out of stock I'm leaning towards the Dell.
My only concern is the CPU having a clockspeed of only 1,8ghz
But since it is the latest Ryzen 7 with 8 cores and high turbo speed I think it is still great.

Hope someone can help and sorry if this is not the right place to post.

What would your advice be from the above? Any?

Didn't think of it but I figured could get a dongle to connect everything.
I bought my bro the matebook d 14 for £600 6 months ago. (unfortunately I couldnt test it myself but has been pretty good so far)
This one is the same but 4600h CPU instead of 4500U so should be a decent upgrade
I'm only selling it to upgrade to an Amstrad 128.
Can't stop progress.
What are you planning on 20 tabling @darsh11. Dyms I hope lol
If I was settled in one place would get a desktop for sure..
In the end I went against advice and went for this - wanted 16gb ram and a newish processor so I at least have sellon value in a couple of years if I upgrade to a desktop.

Yh I'll be playing a lot of DYM - if they run....!
Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc, and check your performance when you have 10+ tables running... it might help to tell you why your laptop is struggling.
RE client - I used to play in the client and it was pretty good except it would tend to crash randomly so I switched to chrome which was more demanding on the laptop but less likely to crash....
If RAM is a big problem, *you might* be better off playing in the client bc chrome uses loads of RAM.
If your CPU is struggling maybe a new device is better.
Hitting 20 tables won't be possible for a little while because I'm so rusty.
I tested the devices at 10 tables and my CPU didn't break a sweat.
(old cpu was dual core (4 threads) and new CPU is octa core (16 threads)
Old CPU vs New CPU

Was about to buy this bc looks like a beast for that price. Only catch is not brand new and takes a while to deliver.
If you're stuck in one place desktop probably better,
tested it when multi tabling and CPU goes mad (up to 100% at one point when i flicked on a youtube vid)
seems like a new pc is in order especially with double points month coming up
Processor was still relaxed with all the games running smoothly.
But I easily reached 7gb Ram with my OS and all the chrome tabs... so if you need a new device I think 16GB of RAM (2 x 8GB is best).
On this PC I could hit 20+ tables but I don't think there are any shortcuts here so probably 15 max for me.
