I don't understand what hes asking for, prefer to go into shop knowing what I am looking for rather then having recommendations from staff.

Bluestacks is an Android emulator, basically he's using the software to simultaneously play Roblox across 6 different accounts as if he had 6 different phones.

That's probably an overkill system for school work, and Roblox should run natively too. As for running Roblox through Bluestacks, that's more specialized and not something I'm sure anyone here would be familiar with (though I'm open to being surprised).

I think he's using "need" very generously, does he currently have a system that is capable of doing this? It sounds like he might already, so why does the laptop also need to do this?

A chromebook may be more than adequate unless the school has specific recommendations, which may be worth inquiring about with the school; they may also be able to organize a deal for a suitable device.

Otherwise if you provide a budget I'm sure plenty of us will be happy to point out potential options for you.

Anything I say is the ramblings of an ill informed, opinionated so-and-so, and not representative of any of my past, present or future employers, and is also probably best disregarded.

Almost any chromebook or laptop will run Roblox, it's not particularly demanding by itself. Running an Android emulator on a PC to run 6 copies of it.. probably a different story.

I'd very much be querying what legitimate use case your grandson has for this.. Roblox has rules against multiple accounts and the most common usage for multiple accounts is cheating.

You may need to have a discussion about the ethics of cheating in online games with him..

Might be better off with a 14" rather than a 15.6" for potability.

text I got back is roblox allows 20 accounts. They even have account switcher (chr!st no idea what all this means. I'm 60). Anime immortals and skibidi warriors allows multiple accounts. Least is $1000 Max $1500 I went on Noel Lemming site and found that above deal. Outlet store in Henderson? Grandson, is large tall lad, smaller screen might look like an iphone, lol.

If you want something from a big store, go grab one of these from PB Tech, it's a "gaming" laptop, which means the battery life isn't going to be as good and it's a little bulkier and heavier, but it'll probably last him if he takes care of it and has the best odds of his weird Roblox multiboxing, and it'll run pretty much any other game he throws at it.

Buy the MSI Thin 15 B12UC-1457NZ 15.6" FHD 144Hz RTX 3050 Gaming Laptop Intel... ( 9S7-16R831-1457 ) online - PBTech.co.nz
