I'm really keen to play paradox games but at the moment only have access to an Xbox series x. I previously had access to a desktop computer I played paradox games on but no longer have space for this and am wanting to get a laptop capable of playing (smoothly) the following PDX games with high settings and minimum slowdown:

EU4, CK3, Imperator, HOI4, VIC3, cities skylines

I know laptops aren't ideal for this but unfortunately where I live wouldn't have space for a proper desktop and a laptop would be much more practical.


I'm a bit new to this scene as well so if anyone would be able to recommend the best time of year for good deals then this would also be greatly appreciated. I'm not desperate for this and could hold out later in the year for better deals.
 
Paradox can't officially recommend any vendor or manufacturer, but some technical considerations:

- must have a dedicated GPU, NOT only an integrated video system
- at least 8gb of memory, preferably 16
- fewer faster CPU cores are better than more but slower cores
- should have an SSD
