What is the best laptop and/or PC to have for DBD within a University student's budget?

Hi!

I just had a quick question regarding about laptops to PC's. I do not have a working laptop that I can use at the moment, so far been using the University's rental laptop program to get me by...

However, I realized that it (rental laptop) cannot handle the game (give me error of this: Fatal error: [File:Unknown] [Line: 198] Unreal Engine is exiting due to D3D device being lost. (Error: 0x887A0006 - 'HUNG') ) to a point of now it's 6 times. I've been waiting longer for an actual match b/c the game thinks I DC'd when in reality it crashes... I don't want to get to a point of where DBD thinks I'm doing it on purpose and have me banned....

I don't have a lot of money and I'm not so sure what I'm going to get from the university this fall... Any suggestions on what I could go buy it would help a ton! Thank you! 😭

    well a laptop or a PC is going to cost you an arm & a leg, that being said if you dont mind console then id recommend the ps4/ xbox one if you' just want something to play DBD on. plus theyre still getting supported for another 2 maybe 3 years so have no fear in investing in it for a while (im on ps4 still)

    i dont really want to recommend this but if you dont want a console then you can always get dbd on the apple or google store. i know its mobile but im pretty sure there's a 3rd party controller out there for you to make it a handheld.

    other then that im pretty sure you have to drop a minimum of $700-800 for a good/ decent pc & laptop ://
