Baldur’s Gate 3 capable Windows laptops that won’t break the bank (under $1,500)

If you’re looking for a new laptop, and you do any gaming at all, you will likely be looking for a Windows machine and end up installing Baldur’s Gate 3 at some point. With that in mind we have decided to find three laptops under $1,500 that should have no problem with the game and would allow you to maybe do some work too!

Baldur’s Gate 3 System Requirements

To start off, let’s have clear what the requirements are to run the game.

Additional Considerations

We would like a machine that features a screen of at least 15″ diagonal and would love a refresh rate of over 240Hz.

#3 GIGABYTE – AORUS 16X

Gigabyte has been making great computer equipment for years, this laptop is priced pretty nicely. Right off the bat, however, this machine is a big-boy at 8.67 pounds and features a refresh rate of 165Hz, not quite the 240Hz we were hoping for. It made the list because there are some higher specced versions of this model, that do hit the 240Hz for not too much more

#2 – ASUS ROG Strix G16

For our second pick, we stick the landing, but go down on the Graphics card to a RTX 4060, but go up on the CPU to an i9 — This gives us the price we want and more power for non-gaming things, while still achieving amazing graphics thanks to the QHD display.

#1 – Acer Predator Helios 16

Our top pick is the Acer Predator Helios 16. It has all the power you could need and gets very close to hitting every one of the recommended requirements for the game.
