Laptop Recommendations

(1/4) > >>

greendra:
First of, I am sorry if this is in the wrong thread, but I have no idea where else to put it!

I am looking for a Laptop to run Guns of Icarus. It will not need to run anything else, as its sole purpose will be for Guns of Icarus, and also maybe a bit of video editing, but that can be done on my main PC. I have been looking at Laptops that have the requirements, but I still think the game will be extremely laggy. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Here is the one I am looking at now, but I am not sure if it will cope: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171523123535?clk_rvr_id=855350496242&rmvSB=true

( I am willing to lower the graphics, and turn everything down to the lowest )

Thanks, and sorry if it is in the wrong thread,

Not sure about the graphics card, it says it's "shared" Intel HD graphics. CPU and RAM should be sufficient if you close other programs. My laptop has similar specs but with 1gb Nvidia graphics and Windows 7 (got it late 2010). Not sure how resource intensive Windows 8 is but it should be ok.

Do you know what you laptop is called? :) Also thanks for the help!

It's an ASUS Notebook G60Vx Series, which I think is the manufacture refurbish of the G60V (probably a recall). I got it for around $650 in Dec 2010. It's not much of a laptop because it's big, heavy, and battery lasts 30 mins max. The 2.13 GHz CPU isn't enough for modern gaming, but it runs stuff like Skyrim great on low settings.

I think your question is what are the graphics requirement for the game. Most cheaper laptops have integrated graphics as opposed to a dedicated graphics card. Integrated graphics have gotten better but I don't know if it's enough to run smoothly. Or maybe the game doesn't need much graphics and is instead CPU and RAM intensive.

Queso:
It also seriously depends on your definition of what "playable" is. For some, that means running the game at 800x600 at 20 Frames per second. For some it means running the game at 4k at 144 FPS.
