5 Best Gaming Laptops To Play Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Are you looking for a new laptop that can handle Assassin’s Creed Shadows? We have the 5 Best Gaming Laptops you need to checkout.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is Ubisoft’s newest addition to its popular franchise Assassin’s Creed. This means we have a vast open world to explore, intense combat, newly styled RPG-oriented grinding for the higher-tier weapons and armor, and the latest technologies. Sounds good, right? Yes, it is. That being said, however, if you look online, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is not easy on the hardware.

High-end systems built with the latest generation of Intel / AMD processors coupled with Nvidia / AMD graphics are unable to deliver high framerates. You need a laptop that rivals a high-end gaming PC while maintaining efficient cooling to ensure a seamless experience. After all, when you’re grinding in-game for that legendary item, the last thing you want is for your laptop to get ground in the process.

Our laptop picks include the following factors.

1. They have a high-performance processor (HX series, preferably both on Intel and AMD).
2. Their GPU delivers performance close to an RTX 4080 / 4070TI Super desktop variant and has at least 12GB VRAM.
3. They come with at least 32GB of DDR5 RAM, ensuring smooth multitasking and gaming.
4. They offer high-speed NVMe SSD storage (minimum 1TB).
5. They feature high-refresh-rate FHD+ and beyond displays (120Hz or higher).
6. They have robust cooling systems to handle prolonged gaming sessions without thermal throttling.
7. They support advanced connectivity options, including Thunderbolt 4, USB-C, HDMI 2.1, and Wi-Fi 6E.
8. We are going mostly with the older generation due to their quick availability and affordability, although these are super high-end. Sometimes, they can be found at a stellar price, more like the price of a desktop RTX 5090, which gets you an entire system or two.
