So I had a laptop with Intel pentium silver n5030, intel uhd 605 graphics and 8gb ddr4 ram and it struggled to run Far Cry 2 from 2008 and mafia 2 at 720p low but here is are my new pc specs Intel core i5 3470, rx 470 4gb and 8gb ddr3 ram and I know it's not perfect but it's so much better than laptop I had, I played read dead redemtion 2 1080p high to medium settings at average 45 fps.

Here in America, people will pay $1000, sometimes more for basically the same thing except a little thinner. There's no incentive to make better laptops because "crappy specs except a little thinner" is what sells. It makes it hard to find actually good laptops without paying an absolute fortune.
