Genshin Impact took the gaming world by storm after its late 2020 release. It is one of the most downloaded games and even won ''The Best Mobile Game'' and "The Best Ongoing Game" at The Game Awards 2021.

This anime-style open-world RPG has polished gameplay and mechanics. It is available on almost all major platforms, including PC, PS4, Xbox, Android, and iOS, and features cross-progression and crossplay (the co-op mode is only unlocked after level 16).

This article will list some of the best budget laptops for games like Genshin Impact.

Which laptops offer the best "bang for your buck" when running Genshin Impact in 2024?

When it comes to gaming on a budget, finding a laptop that offers excellent performance without breaking the bank is crucial. Genshin Impact, a popular action role-playing game, requires a capable machine to run smoothly and provide an immersive gaming experience.

To help you make an informed decision, we have curated a list of laptops that offer the best value for your money when it comes to running Genshin Impact. These laptops strike a balance between price and performance, ensuring that you can enjoy the game without compromising your budget.

1) Lenovo Ideapad 3 14" ($479)

This 14" thin and light laptop is pretty much the lowest you can spend to play Genshin Impact at 1080p, albeit at ~40 fps on 'Low' settings. One can also lower the resolution to 900p and get ~40 fps on Medium settings, which might be a better experience as the minor resolution reduction isn't that noticeable on the 14-inch display.

Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 5 5500u
GPU: Radeon 7
RAM: 8 GB RAM
Storage: 256 GB NVMe SSD
Screen: 14" 1920x1080 60hz Display
Others: Win 10, 3.1 lbs (1.4 Kg)

2) ASUS Zenbook 14 ($633)

A sleek, thin, and light laptop, but with a dedicated GPU, the Zenbook 14 by ASUS is pretty decked out for its size and price. The Ryzen 5 and the 2GB MX350 can efficiently run at 1080p 30fps on high settings and 1080p 60fps on low settings.
