Budget dota laptop
Had a bit of an issue with my laptop, looking more and more unfixable so looking for something very cheap so I can continue to play while battle pass is still ongoing.
Really just need it to run dota on medium settings at 30fps and don't even need it to last long - I will hopefully be buying a bigger place with my other half soon and will likely purchase a desktop computer then. Unfortunately the fact that we're applying for a mortgage means I can't really spend a lot right now, either!
Does anyone have a recommendation for a little budget machine to tide me over? Dota had been a great help during this lockdown (I hadn't played in a few years prior!)

You'd probably be better off building a cheap PC instead of a laptop. Reason being, cheap laptops tend to be badly ventilated and throttle performance when the CPU and GPU get too hot.
The well-ventilated laptops tend to cost upwards of £900. Whereas you can build a cheap PC with second hand parts at a much lower cost and have far better ventilation thanks to the larger chassis.
A welcome suggestion, thank you! However at the moment we live in a small one bed flat with and our only desk is both the dinner table and my other half's work from home set up. I've simply no room for a desktop at the moment 😢
