I've been playing PUBG with my friend for a while, and I'm convinced that his old laptop, which has a 1650 Super and a small 60Hz display, is really limiting his performance. I often notice that his actions take a bit longer, and his camera movements seem sluggish, almost like he's using a gamepad. Although he can track targets well, he often misses due to the lag. Most of his rare victories come only when his opponents are pressured by the blue zone, otherwise he usually loses, even with lower ping than I have (6-15ms).
My friend isn't lacking money—he's actually better off than I am—but he keeps making excuses. He claims he has no space for a desktop, insists he's not a pro player, and that his laptop is fine for him. Honestly, he's waited so long to upgrade that RAM prices have skyrocketed. I'm pretty sure he will eventually upgrade, but probably to something less powerful and overpriced because of his reluctance to change now.

There’s nothing wrong with playing with a range of people! If your friend is not into upgrading, maybe play with others who are more serious about gaming. Variety can keep things fresh!
You know, some people don't care about having the best gear to have a good time. If he's having fun with what he has, that’s what matters to him, right?
Have you tried suggesting some tweaks instead? Like cleaning up his laptop from unnecessary programs? Sometimes just debloating can really help performance, and with a 1650, he has decent hardware.
If he doesn’t want to upgrade, there's not much you can do. It’s really up to him. Everyone has different priorities, and maybe he just enjoys the game how it is without needing the latest tech.
Honestly, I wouldn’t say his laptop is totally holding him back. Sometimes it’s just about getting older and not performing like he used to. Kids these days really know how to play at a different level!
