Solved! Buying laptop advice

[camargo2012]

i am looking for a gaming laptop for less or equal to $300, i found a DELL D620 for $260 but i think i can get something better! 😛 (no netbooks or small pc's pls) (it has to have a dvd burner) 😀

What kind of gaming do you want to do? For that kind of money, I don't think you'll be able to find anything capable of playing any modern games decently.

your not going to play any modern game for 300$ on a laptop? What do you want to play?

impossible not even on lowest settings. u need atleast 600 to buy refurbished asus g50 on newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220794&cm_re=asus_g-_-34-220-794-_-Product

the same thing people said when i was trying to play crysis at high settings with my pentium D @ 3.8 GHz...(i actually could with no lag 😀)

i would prefer one that costs $300 with good hardware. the dell laptop i had as option is not in sale no more 🙁

omg, if those 15 or 20 fps were no lag for you then good for you. But in laptops you can hardly get any with above ati 4200 chipset in your range

i specially heard that ATI GPUs have too many driver issues, illl prefer a lap top with some nvidia gpu

brother just stuck the main point which is 350$ range and a gaming laptop which is impossible, Crysis needs a dx9.0c fully compatible GPU which hd4200 is, so it means it will run the game, but you will not be able to play smoothly even on med graphics, may be the lowest graphics will give you around 10-20fps to play. Even laptop with 4200/4225 is exceeding your budget. Check it out http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834157535.
And to be honest i didn't experience any serious problems with ATI drivers as i have used both ati and nvidia, the only diff i found is that ati gpu are mostly best bang for the buck, give same performance in less price and less power consumption and less heat.
