Key Buying Tips

Dedicated GPU (dGPU) strongly preferred. Integrated (Vega 7, Iris Xe, M-series) works but drops in dense 4-player chaos.
16 GB RAM if you multitask (Discord, browser, OBS).
SSD mandatory — NVMe preferred.
Screen: 144 Hz IPS > 60 Hz TN. D3 benefits from high refresh.
Cooling: Thin-and-lights throttle. Gaming chassis (LOQ, TUF, Legion, Victus) sustain clocks.

Minimum viable today: Ryzen 5 5500U / i5-1135G7 + 8 GB + 512 GB SSD — plays D3 at 1080p Low/Med 60 FPS. Sweet spot: RTX 3050/4050 laptop ($700–850) — Ultra 1080p 100+ FPS, future-proof for D4/PoE2.
