Best Laptops for Rust

Rust is an indie adventure game developed and published by Facepunch Studios in 2018. The only aim in Rust is to survive. Everything wants you to die - the island’s wildlife and other inhabitants, the environment, other survivors. Do whatever it takes to last another night.

Laptop Requirements for Rust

The system requirements are quite demanding, and a gaming laptop with a new graphics processing unit is needed for successfully playing Rust. GeForce RTX 2060 or better mobile GPU is required.
