laptops

Post by Lady Redname »

I'm planning on buying a new laptop in the next few weeks and not really to sure what I should be looking for.
I want to be able to play lol and sc2 at high settings so I guess I need a graphics card and not the normal integrated cards, what should I be looking for?

I have about £500 to spend

I doubt you will get one for £500 capable of playing those games at high settings. Need to up the budget to £700-800 at least.

Or you could purchase one of machines the other fine gentlemen in this thread have suggested.

Ended up getting a dell xls I5 for 650. Was 750 from pc world but found it cheaper
Runs lol on high at 60 fps. Now I just need internet in my room and I can play again

just downloaded and installed, only played the intro scene but it seems to run perfectly on high settings

although when playing dota 2 the other day it started to lag a bit after 2 hours, but i just lowered it all to medium and had no problems

@ Slamer/KLOR - how are you finding the laptops now you've had them a while? Thinking of getting one and the models you chose seem to be about right for what I want, if a little more than I wanted to pay!
