I'm currently buying the AN515-57 Version of the Nitro 5 Laptop because my current Lenovo 320 laptop with a 7th gen AMD A12 Processor with crappy integrated graphics running with 8gs of ram. This thing barely plays some games on Roblox when I tested this thing. I hope this laptop will last me until I get afford a PC setup. I've always wanted a PC of some kind that would run something at 60 fps or better lol. Now, that I'm 19, I can finally do it myself B)
