Gaming What's a good laptop?

[Sop]

My mum is going to buy a new Computer and wanted to get a laptop so what is good? We were thinking of this or this.

 

[Rasas]

What is she and you looking for in a computer?

 

[kai445]

Yeah, you could probably spend under $1000 on something very nice.

 

[Sop]

Um.. Games, Youtube, and surfing the web for me, Almost the same for mum except instead of Youtube or games Work.

I would recommend a Acer Aspire 5738PZG. It has a blu-ray a pretty bad processor and a decent graphics card but the price is fairly low considering it sells for 800ish in Australia. If blu-ray isn't that important and since your willing to buy a 1800 AUD for a computer 800 isn't a bad deal.

If your looking for high end gaming there are some really good 1800 AUD laptops but the battery life with them and the computer I posted are fairly bad.

I suppose if I were you I probably go for this since 3d gaming might be great and the graphics card is great for the price.

It is a lot better then the Toshiba one you showed and comes with 3d glasses. I know a lot of games don't support it but it would be nice to have.

Well if your not interested in 3d go for the recent discounted one since 1300 AUD for something as good as that 1800 AUD one is a good idea and having a i7 processor and better graphics card is always a plus when dealing with the less expensive laptop.

 

[Sop]

Up to 1500.

 

[Rasas]

I'm questioning why you posted a 1800 dollar laptop on your first post then but I posted a decent laptop well under your target price.

Neither of them are good enough huh how about

Wait do you want a blu-ray drive? A i5 or i7 processor? Guessing 4gb plus ram and 320gb up harddrive?

 

[Sop]

Ok keep posting more and we'll decide soon.

 

[Sop]

Yeah blu-ray is good. And out of i5 or i7 which is faster. And I will use it for emulation.

 

[Rasas]

You should probably wait since lapyking sometimes comes out with prices for laptops with unbeatable prices and some other stores might do better. i7 is better but in some cases for certain programs people post better results FPS wise with i5 and pretty much the same specs but I doubt you care.

 

[kai445]

A core i5 can emulate just about anything, even the PS2, provided your video card is decent.

 

[Sop]

What's a good video card?

 

[Rasas]

http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForc...0M.22439.0.html Various laptop graphics card not sure which low is the lowest you need to emulate Wii and PS2 with a good FPS though. I suppose it matters about the game as well so.

 

[Sop]

How good is a 320M or a 420M?

 

[Rasas]

The 420m is a little better but as I said before your better off searching or waiting more.

 

[Sop]

Nah, we'll probably go for the officeworks one since we live near officeworks and don't want to order off the internet.

 

[Rasas]

Well I suppose that is good it isn't the best for the price but it be hard to find any better from local stores. Have fun with the Laptop.

 

[Sop]

OK thanks for your help.
