Wow, two topics in twenty minutes. A new record.  :cookieMonster:
Anyway, what's the cheapest laptop out there that could run TF2?
I'm saving up; just wanna know what I'm getting :P

no

(I know, suggest something else blah blah blah, he wants a laptop)

Buy a desktop.

suggest something else blah blah blah, he wants a laptop

A laptop with the same specs as a desktop that can run it.

Just because it's a laptop doesn't mean it can't have the same specs. does it?

Can anyone give a specific example?

You are going to have to pay a significant amount more then you would for the same specs on a desktop. Laptops are not really worth it when it comes to the limited power it has, and increased price that is traded off for mobility and size.

System Requirements

Minimum: 1.7 GHz Processor, 512MB RAM, DirectX® 8 level Graphics Card, Windows® Vista/XP/2000, Mouse, Keyboard, Internet Connection

Recommended: Pentium 4 processor (3.0GHz, or better), 1GB RAM, DirectX® 9 level Graphics Card, Windows® Vista/XP/2000, Mouse, Keyboard, Internet Connection

Take your pick, unless you want to spend for a custom one.

Oh, wow. My laptop can run it.
Yay. :cookieMonster:

Try fitting a desktop GPU in a laptop.

Same. My laptop can play just about everything maxed. Only $800, and this was a year ago when I bought it.

Not all laptops are bad for gaming.


You think this one will work well?

Run the test with your current system and go from there.


I like having a gaming laptop as well as my desktop.

I'm probably the only person on the Indian subcontinent who's playing TF2 while I'm there.  :cookieMonster:
