Laptop to buy
I know this isn't really related to the game but I want to buy a laptop that could run transport fever, I know a computer tower would be best but I don't have the space for a set up like that, so I would like to know the best laptop to get to run the game

Well... Don't know if you ask for a specific model or just in general. Also don't know your price range nor am an expert on laptops... What exactly means "get to run"? ;)
Anyway, here some advice I'd give: (maybe someone else got better)
-at least 8GB RAM (better more if it is shared with "GPU")
-make sure "GPU" is supported (does not need to be much more than that)
-fast HDD/SSD helps (at least with load-times)
-CPU is most important, so make sure it can run at high frequency under load (unlike that latest apple design...again...). Usually a good I5/7 is recommended.

I won't point you to something more specific. There are plenty of options and I wouldn't know what to recommend anyway. Manufacturer usually just matters for quality/service/support and you should not pay extra for a brand unless you know why.

Thanks that helps, but I'm not really tech minded like that so don't really know what half that means, but it helps me, money wasn't really a hurdle and I was asking what exact laptops could be good to able to play transport fever and get hit by frame rate bad

Have you considered googling best gaming laptop?

I would not recomend buying a laptop based on this game, i think other games are better to differentialaze what laptop is better or worse at playing games.

But any laptop with a intel i7 and nvidia/amd graphics will work fine. (dont buy a laptop with intel graphics.)

Yeah I have tried Googling best gaming laptops

I had a feeling a laptop isn't best but I just don't have the space for a computer setup, I was asking what models of laptops would be good to play the game on

What did you find? No matter what someone here recommends you will not know if their recommendation is good. You will have to do your own research to make sure.

Try asking here: (its a forum)

My advice avoid 1060 Nvidia chips [ they are too down clocked ] ... Go for a bit more whack..
6gb video ram for TF is fine really on medium and slow down for 1060 not too bad so far in late game..

but more the better! those big maps are awesome.

Go for AMD, loads of games run better on them even now. Something I forgot about.

Also your have to take the back plate off,...
They are so loud otherwise!!
Get yourself some USB fans too :D

Make sure you have 2 steam libraries, and use SSD For game load of TF; it can take forever otherwise.


In retrospect desktop are cheaper, and more powerful .. this was an expensive mistake.

Thanks, but I just don't have the space for a desktop unfortunately 😞

It must have shown you the top contenders in the gaming laptop field. So what now?
Same here i hate lugging those things around.. ( just get a decent sized monitor :)
-
make sure you research and ideally hear the laptop running something taxing ( like 3d demos / heaven / 3dmark etc )

They usually have terrible cooling.. but like I say with teh back plate off it won't thermally throttle so much and crash if it gets above 92-95c and with teh usb fans, its really quiet


If you do take the back plate off ( make sure anything you sit the laptop on solid things that will not melt and in a good position of the chasis ( ie not usb connectors ))
