It can’t just be a USB C port, it has to be a thunderbolt port.I think newer laptops with USB-C ports let you attach a USB-C external gaming videocard/GPU which can improve the video frame rate performance and video quality of games. But, external video cards are expensive, use more electricity, and can use up more desk space.
Yes, my laptop is upgradable. I was hoping I wouldn't need too, but I guess I'll buy 16GB ram which is the max for my laptop, and never worry about it again.Are you able to change out the RAM in your laptop? I know on older laptops you were able to swap out RAM, but I'm not sure about newer ones. If you can, you should look into getting compatible RAM. Most games these days and even Windows 10/11 needs more RAM. Also if you can, you might be better off seeing if any of your favorite games can run on Linux and dual booting Linux Mint with Windows. Heck replacing Windows with a Linux distro might just be better all together lol.
Sadly that’s how it works if it’s too slow for games or it chugs along when you have more than one program open. That’s a hardware limitation and not software.Yes, my laptop is upgradable.
