LostPomegranate Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 (edited) Almost all new laptops will run VN's and movies without an issue - but I'd recommend Windows / Microsoft as you'll run into compatibility issues with VN's and Mac's / Apple's. Usually the only issues with movies is having the right program / codecs, but that's solved by software. Regarding VN's, the best way to be completely sure would be to print off recommended specs of a few and take it to the store with you and ask the employee, or you could ask on reddit or discord with some more details like your budget, what screen size you'd prefer, etc. If it helps I think the general type of laptop you're looking for is known as a "Multimedia laptop". You could even get away with a true budget laptop if you don't plan on using it for more than 2-3 years and don't mind it being a bit slower / less multitasking ability.

Honestly, as long as you're running windows, you should be fine. Especially when playing older games like AIR or Tenshi no Inai 12-Gatsu. A potato of a computer should be able to run a visual novel.

timeoflittlebells Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Visual novels aren't very resource intensive so any windows PC should be able to run it, but I recommend one with at least 8GB of RAM since anything below that can be an overall laggy experience. You can find some pretty good 8GB RAM Windows 10/11 laptops for under $800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
