Black Friday/Cyber Monday

[Jeimuzu]

Salutations my good fellows.

I am in search of a new laptop that will primarily be used for gaming (WC3, CS:S, SC2, Killing Floor, Etc.) for around 600-700 dollars (Which I hope will drop down to about 500 dollars on Black Friday or Cyber Monday because that's my actual spending limit).

If anyone has any recommendations, I would appreciate it. I have no knowledge of laptops, for all my experience comes from desktops.

600-700?
Llano based laptop is what you are looking for

Sony VAIO VPCF121FD

i had mine last year for around 800.
i7 processor, 4 gb ram, my card is an nvidea 310 (there is one with a 330 dedicated one, which would be a better card , but more expensive)...

i had this laptop for a year, it is sooooooo quiet and purely amazing! crystal clear image, and i play css . gg wc3 etc at max quality .

it might not be ur safest best if u wanna play bf3, only bcos of the card, so if u had that and customized the vid card then u;re WINNING.

i hope u get it on a gd price, i got it on a student promotion for like -30 %

even a 330 is a shit graphics card
an a8 is slightly better then a laptop with a 540m, though its not all that powerfull, you will not get anything better at the price range specified

310 is THE shit as in gd enough ?
or 310 is shitty?

im not much of a hardware guy, if it plays css smooth for me to knife all yo asses, it;s gd enough.

I mean to say it is a shittastic card

330 is not much better(though better then I expected), It is bested by the 5650 feature wise and power wise

The llano, that I was recommending with out anything added to it, It performs about the same as a 5650. It also offers MUCH better battery life (why I got mine as battery life on a laptop is crucial to me)

If you find a llano laptop with an card in there working along side the gpu part of the chip, it runs even better ... well if the title is running in dx10 or 11


I apologize for saying it edges the 540m, when it does not such thing, I was remembering wrong.
