Laptop that I think looks good.
I'm trying to get a laptop sometime soon, as my Mac is not doing good enough for my games. I am wondering if e above laptop is good for playing a game like Team Fortress 2. Please help me out :x

It's okay, but big tip: never go to Best Buy for laptops.
Another tip, never spend under $600 on a laptop, unless you want it to suck.

That's a good laptop for a pretty low price.

EDIT: Updated with an even better one, more capable GPU.

Well, I'm kinda low on money... I can try to get it, but probably not >_>

Can that computer run games like TF2 and GTA4 well?


So, I've been looking at the system requirements for TF2 for Windows, and it seems the laptop in my original post meets the requirements. All I need now is a wireless mouse and a flash drive to transport all my add ons from my Mac onto the laptop :D

I'm just saying it won't run it well. It will be able to run it, but that's about it.

Ninja'd: Well, it might be able to, it is a VALVe game after all. It won't run anything too amazing though.

Beleive me, I thought my laptop could run TF2 well.



Boy, was I wrong. I had to walk around staring at the ground. My computer is about the same. Before buying it, watch videos on  the graphics card it has or processor. Or find out more information about them. Trust me, you will regret it if you buy a computer that runs games stufftily.

Been doing that for the past half hour >_> saw a tf2 vid that had a very similar graphics card that run it on high graphics. But yeah, its not like I'm going to play Crysis on all high settings ;_;

Edit: even if its not, Ill probably see if I can get a better whatever it needs in the laptop.

If you know some things, but an old laptop, gut it, and overhaul it. Many people do that, and it works great.
