Yeah, if you have the space look into micro-ATX with a 1070 or a different laptop. That thing is going to be hot, battery hungry, and not the best for running games.

depending on your flavor of autism it should play pretty much anything that isn't a current release at medium settings.

Or just go with games that don't have massive graphics requirements. On deployment I was as happy as a pig in poo poo just playing M&B: Warband and XCOM when waiting on convoys.

So I picked up Mafia 3 when it was on a sale a week or so ago. I've only played a few hours but I think it's good. It may have to do with them having pinned trying to get old 60s era cars to go fast, even down to the odd tire squeals that they are prone to making. Some serious member berries.

Yes, I could look at putting a monitor in my cabin or whatever, but it's far, far more convenient for me to be able to carry my laptop around with me, particularly if I'm in port. Still, I have toyed with the idea of having a dedicated PC to take with me and leave on the ship, but at that point I might as well use a console so we can multi. Which means I'm stuck with lovely graphics cards by the sound.
