Everyone in the topic says Acer, poll says Toshiba.







My birthday is coming up soon, 9 days at the time of this post, and I was looking for a laptop.
It's got an AMD Radeon HD 6310 graphics card, 15.6 inch screen and it's a Toshiba.
Problem is, people say it's slow.
I want to be able to run games such as Garry's Mod on rp_apocalypse at 35-50 FPS on all medium or higher graphics, will this cut it?

Or is this better?

That's not what I was asking. I was asking if it met my specifications.

Laptop.  Good.  Pick one.

[Watcher In The Myst]

Okay, seriously
I wasn't asking if there are any good laptops
I was asking if the two I put up can run Source games at Medium or higher graphics at 35 - 50 FPS.

[brickybob]

I have a 1.6 GHZ processor and I can run source games at 60+ FPS.

The acer is better. It has a dual core processor and a better GPU.

[Watcher In The Myst]

So, what is the average FPS I'll be running with the Acer?

[Ethan]

Possibly 40fps constant on Source engine, max detail.

[Watcher In The Myst]

MAXED OUT? Holy crap, that's WAAAAAAAY better than I expected!

It can run L4D on medium settings playable too.
I know L4D is source engine, but it features more detailed shaders and other stuff.

And the best part is it's only 350 dollars.

My weak laptop does that easily. It's only a 2.1 GHz single-core laptop.

I just checked the specs and you would have trouble even running Blockland with less than 2.0GHz.
