[Ethan]

um no. 330m and of course the 550m can play any game easily.
yes you linked obviously better computers, but at a much higher price.

i could link a 3k laptop that is clearly a better gaming comp.


and yes ethan, a 550 is a better model then the 330. as i was asked specifically. quit being a smart ass.

Are there any good laptops around $900? Looking to play just Source games and Blockland.

Wait, so... What?! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE!!!

Should I get the Vaio or keep looking? Because one person seems to be saying it is a piece of stuff that can't run anything, and someone else is stating that it can run anything EASILY...

Help!

Someone just made a topic concerning this laptop. Then someone linked a video with the same specs running Crysis 2 on high settings.

So the original questioned laptop: http://bit.ly/yxPM8t

and this laptop: http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-10372KU-17-3-Inch-Laptop-Brown/dp/B0051OJTPM

Are pretty much exactly the same?

[Awdax]

Except the one I linked is cheaper. But I'm not exactly sure and know the details about the specs.

all the laptops are good.
some guys around here think its bad to pay 1k for a laptop but its not. you would get a very good gaming laptop then.

and some guys around here dont know anything about nvidia or intel, the superior hardware. they just stick to the budget stuff and its all they know, so there is a lot of low end elitism around here.

ie;

nvidia has physx that IS actually awesome in most modern games, and amd has no parallel tech for it.
nvidia also supports proper multi screen usage, where amd just splits the rendering resourcces evenly and wastes it.

AMD hasnt had anything competitive since the athlon line, and this was a long while ago now.
i guess if its top of the line you want, amd beats intel a good month per product line, as intel always follows up with superior hardware anyways.

yeah the better stuff costs more. but im not a cheap ass.
gaming comps shouldnt be outdated so quickly, you should spend enough to keep it running max settings on new games for 3 years without updating.

ethan thinks 1 and half year old hardware is crap, but he knows nothing about nvidia, as the models he was bashing were proven plenty powerful on max settings modern games before he even posted in this topic.

[Awdax]

I'm just going to stick with the Vaio F Series mentioned in the OP.

[Bisjac]

i would avoid paying much less then 1k for any gaming laptop ever.
you only go budget on desktops where you can easily update them.

Uh, it was a 520, not a 550.
Obviously a 550 is better, but the linked one (the one you were asked to compare) was a 520, which is a low end card at best.

[Bisjac]

what difference does it make. you were bashing me for claiming the bigger number is the better model. and it is. i never claimed or even implied it applies to all brands or hardwares. it was a specific question about specific hardware i was answering.

I don't want to nor don't have the time to argue. Think what you want to think.

BTW, Eyefinity > nVidia surround. I don't see how having to buy 2 cards to do the same thing that one card can do is superior.

And you were wrong. 330m > 520m.

But you didn't say that it was just for this one. You did make the claim that a 'higher number is better', and OP could just take that information and think it's true across the board when in fact it isn't. Not bashing, just saying that it wasn't true all the time.

[Bisjac]

dont need to cards to do whatever it is you are talking about. any 1 card can do it properly on nvidia.

eyefininity dosnt have the settings. in fact you dont even know what i was talking about when i brought it up in your topic. proof of your nvidia ignorance really, as its a standard common setting on nvidia.
something amd cannot do. (no, eyefinity is something completely different)

that missing setting is what put me off of amd forever. i wasnt so favored either way till then. you were just giving blank stares as i tried to explain what it did. amd just isnt up the the task.
