Gaming Laptop
I'm looking for a laptop that would be able to run games smoothly, like Guild Wars 2.My price range is around $550-$650. Any suggestions? |

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Pro...6834214871 http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-Sat...K4ZZU8G1FV The key thing you want to look for is having a discrete video card (i.e. not integrated). So if you see "Intel HD 3000" or 4000, that's not it. But don't think that every nVidia or Radeon chip necessarily is, either. If you're not sure, search for the graphics card on Google to see its stats on Notebook Check, or use Game-Debate to check. http://www.game-debate.com Note that Guild Wars 2's minimum requirement is the Intel HD 3000, so if you got that or a 4000 you should be able to run it okay. You can go pretty inexpensive that way. But if you want something a little more future-proof for other games, you'll want to try and track down a good deal on something a little better. |

See these posts>>LIST 1 & updated List 2; I have more nice lists in my signature posts below. Everything the previous poster stated is true. You need a dedicated graphics card to be almost completely happy with your budget gaming laptop. But the deals have been disappearing everyday this week. 2 weeks ago all of the deals were available but now only 2 good deal remains. Lenovo 15.6" Intel 3rd gen i5 + GT 630m $479.99=579.99 - $100MIR Lenovo 17.3" Intel 3rd gen i5 + GT630 $630 [newegg.com] You can get a good idea how various configurations Graphic cards play games on youtube: (here are some Guild Wars 2 on a GT 630m ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YF...re=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1i..._embedded#! And even lower end laptop with 6650m graphics can play Guild Wars 2 fine: (This is close to the Asus K53TA 6650m laptop I purchased last year)>>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lP8XM7gGJdI There were more cheaper gaming laptop choices 2 weeks ago, but atleast the Lenovo above is amongst the best of them all.
