Hello yall

So I have this laptop and was wondering which flight sims it could handle with minimal lag and decent fps? like 30-40 would be good. Also which sims would you recommend?

Specs:
HP Spectre x360 convertible 13 inch and x64
8GB Ram
Intel Core i7 @ 1.30GHz, 1498mHz (3.9GHz with Turbo Boost)

Idk a whole lot of computer stuff so Im just saying this out of my specs app.

Compact laptops such as yours donā€™t really allow you to do much upgrading. Your best bet would be to find an affordable gaming desktop ($800USD) and use that for your simming needs.

FSX Would run fine and youā€™d get a good sim ontop of it. Steam edition is also good.

Ok thank you Iā€™ll look into that.

Will it be too laggy or low FPS?

If you press the Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys, task manager will pop up. If you click ā€˜more detailsā€™ then pop over to performance, youā€™ll get to see the clock speed the CPU is currently at. Itā€™s typically higher than what it is listed as in the about the computer sections.

Iā€™ve been able to run FSX Steam Edition on my old AMD A-300 dual core APU laptop, and that thing is ~10 years old. It worked ok enough for younger me, so this (I assume much newer) laptop of yours should be able to handle it

i think i was being dumb, apparantly my laptop is quad core and can run at 3.9GHz with Turbo Boost. i think 1.3GHz is the base. Is that good and does it help with anything
