In addition to these games, there are many other excellent titles that will also have "New All-Time Low" discounts during the summer promotion period, such as Forza Horizon 5, Sword Dance, Leisha's Alchemy Workshop 3, Anno 1800, etc., you can choose the right game according to your preferences and budget.
Of course, to play these games well, you'll also need a powerful computer. As new games demand more and more computer equipment, many players have the need to upgrade their equipment. Coinciding with the college entrance examination graduation season, businesses will also give discounts in order to attract this group of new users, whether it is prospective college students or old players who want to upgrade their equipment, it is a good time to change to a new one. However, on the same budget, do you buy a gamebook or assemble a desktop?
DIY yourself, choose a desktop?
In fact, these two choices have their own advantages and disadvantages, such as hands-on partners may choose their own DIY host, because a variety of hardware are selected according to their own needs, so the performance under the same budget is more in line with their expectations, the heat dissipation of the whole machine will be good, later want to upgrade only need to replace hardware accessories, very convenient; But the disadvantages of desktop are also obvious, such as large size, not convenient to carry and move, and also need monitor, keyboard, mouse, audio and other accessories, in addition to assembly is more troublesome, if there is no installation experience, it is best not to act rashly, find a professional to learn before considering assembly.
Is the game the optimal solution?
For small white users or "handicapped parties", it would be safer to choose the game. First of all, compared with the desktop, the game book is smaller and more portable, and the student party university can go to the library to study, and it can also be carried home to play games in the summer; The most important thing is that with the upgrade of hardware, the performance and actual experience of many game books will not be lost to desktops, RTX4060 graphics card desktops and notebooks are not bad, and this year there are many game books equipped with RTX 4060 graphics cards. And compared with the "deep water" DIY hardware market, the quality of the game book is endorsed by the brand, the price is more transparent, and the after-sales service is also guaranteed.
What games are recommended?
As mentioned earlier, DIY assembly desktop "water is too deep", we can not teach you to choose hardware equipment in two words, after comprehensive consideration, I personally think that the game will be a more reliable choice, we can also according to their own budget, configuration needs, roughly can locate the relevant models.
For example, in the 7~8K price range of the game book, equipped with RTX 4060 graphics card games are many, of which Asus Sky Choice 4 is a popular player in this price segment, the game book is also more "volume" than friends in the choice of CPU, the intel platform is equipped with i7-13700H processor, with 14 cores and 20 threads, turbo frequency up to 5.0GHz; AMD platform selection is based on the new generation of Zen 4 architecture to build Ryzen R9-7940H, The single-core MAX clock speed can reach up to 5.2GHz, and the two CPUs are paired with RTX4060 graphics cards that support ray tracing and DLSS technology, which can ensure smooth running of most mainstream games.
And in order to further improve the performance release, the glacier cooling system of Sky Choice 4 is also very powerful, two 84-blade Arc Flow dust fans, five heat pipes, four air outlets, effectively reducing the temperature and noise of the hardware. In addition, the screen of ASUS Sky Choice 4 is also very good, using a 15.6-inch 2.5K IPS gaming screen, a refresh rate of up to 165Hz, and a wide P3 color gamut, which can present smoother, more detailed game picture details, and better visual effects.
It is worth mentioning that ASUS Tianxuan 4 "body" management is very good, while stuffing into the 90Wh large battery, complete USB4 interface expansion body, there is also a good advantage of 2.1KG body weight. In terms of expandability, Sky Choice 4 has two memory slots and an additional M.2 interface is reserved to facilitate players with strong hands-on ability to manually DIY to upgrade the hardware. In short, ASUS Sky Choice 4 is a game book with excellent performance, heat dissipation, screen, and appearance, no matter what type of game you play, it can bring you the ultimate experience.
Of course, no matter which computer you choose, we hope you can find your favorite games during the Steam summer sale and have fun this summer!
