    Is the Intel Core i5 3230M good enough for gaming??

    Yer I saw that one as well got excited until I saw the GPU haha, why can't companies just make a component better without downgrading another. Yer I was playing with Toshiba in a computer store and the build quality does feel kinda sketchy compared to other laptops, but it is pretty powerful...

    Is the Intel Core i5 3230M good enough for gaming??

    Seems all right, the gpu and cpu are a bit weaker than the Toshibas, do you know anymore amd laptops with a bit more power?? My budgets $850 but I can go for $1000 if the laptops absolutely amazing for it's price.

    Is the Intel Core i5 3230M good enough for gaming??

    haha no one wants to do that. I might be building a gaming pc in the next couple of months if I can get a decent job so i wanna use the laptop to game until then and I want it to be able to last a little longer if i don't end up building the pc. I had a look at those laptops and the ones that...

    Is the Intel Core i5 3230M good enough for gaming??

    The cheapest laptops with a better GPU costs around 200 - 300 more and they have terrible CPU's, yay australian prices haha. I only plan on playing games with settings turned all the way down, will that graphics card be able to handle games like battlefield that way?

    Is the Intel Core i5 3230M good enough for gaming??

    I'm looking to buy a new laptop that I can use to play games like battlefield 4 & ghosts (all on low settings). The laptop I've found that's within my price range (less than $850), has an i5 3230m and a NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M 2GB. The gpu is good enough for what I need, but I'm not sure if the...

    Alternative to Toshiba Satellite Pro L50-A6003

    I'm looking to buy a new laptop to replace my Lenovo y570 that broke with a maximum budget of $750 AUD. So far the only laptop I've found that has decent performance for that price range is the Toshiba Satellite Pro L50-A6003. The problem however is that it has a very poor contrast ratio (200:1)...

    Good performing laptop around or under $600

    Thank you very much :) the Lenovo 505s looks just like what I'm looking for if mines completely buggered. Haven't been able to get the laptop checked yet but if it is the motherboard, i think I'll just replace the motherboard. Cheapest option by the looks of it. My roommate told me though if...
