A new installment in one of the best acclaimed FPS series is one tough cookie. I tend to use new games as an opportunity to upgrade my setup or even buy something new. It would be easy to build a desktop PC to run Battlefield 5. But it’s a complete opposite if we’re looking for a laptop. I’ve taken my time and compiled a list of adapted BF5 requirements for laptops, what specific hardware we’ll need and what laptops are best at every price range fulfilling these requirements without breaking the bank. At the end, I’ll add a laptop comparison spreadsheet of top laptops for Battlefield 5 and gaming.

The 5 Best Laptops For The Crew 2: (Top laptops between $600 – $1,500)
The wait is finally over and we got a worthy successor for The Crew. Together for Forza Horizon, TC has become the go to game for casual racing. The Crew 2 is back in town to show that it’s the OG in its niche and that Need For Speed Payback can’t touch it.
These days many new games require brand hardware to run them properly. But it seems Ivory Tower did a fine job optimizing the game so The Crew 2 will reach high framerates on a upper mid-range laptop. But the minimum requirements are rather high and that can be a big problem especially if you’re looking for a laptop to play TC2. Entry level laptop just won’t cut it. We’ll need some research to find great options to choose from for the best laptop for The Crew 2. Luckily enough, I’ve already done it for you.
Top 6 Best Laptops for playing Fortnite (+detailed requirements)
I’m so glad Epic Games finally got a mainstream hit. I’ve been a fan of theirs since Unreal Tournament 2003. They have produced one of, if not THE best, game engine series of all time. And who’s better at showing its potential than Epic Games themselves. It seems they looked at PUBG and decided they can do it better. And they did – they nailed down the battle royale genre so good that they got sued. Fortnite has skyrocketed from an obscure game to a a worldwide phenomenon. Even though the game is free, it requires a fairly up-to-date machine. That’s even more true for laptops that have lagged miles behind desktop PCs. But with the latest processor and graphics releases, we can find the best laptop for Fortnite at every price range.

Top 6 Best Laptops for PUBG (+ Spreadsheet)
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is one of the games that will make you upgrade your PC. When I first started playing PUBG during early access, I still had a 5-year-old laptop that did not match well with PUBG. I could barely reach 25 FPS. I just couldn’t take it. It was time to upgrade my setup. Even a couple of my squad friends had to upgrade their laptops to get decent framerates.
I have looked at over 1000 modern laptops, filtered them down to 229 laptops. All of them have at least 970M or GTX 1050, 1080p, 8 GB RAM, high-performance processor (more on that below) and a Solid State Drive. Then I boiled it all down to top 6 laptops. On top of that, I’ve included the complete spreadsheet of all laptops, their specs and their benchmarks at the end of the guide.

First, let’s tackle the question of the best laptop for Ableton Live.
