Hi! I travel about 24 days a month and need a GOOD gaming laptop. I am really interested in playing Oblivion, and SupCom, and having them work reasonbly well, with good detail. Been all over the internet trying to get info, but it seems the only GPU that can really handle Oblivion is GF8800gtx, which I obviously cant use... I figure the best options are:
CPU: core 2 duo, 1.8 or better
GPU: GF 8 series M, but I dont know the REAL impact of 256 vice 512 dedicated memory. .GDDR3.
RAM: 2 gig+ GDDR2, T7300 or PC5300, 667 or faster FSB, 4mb L2
Screen size: 15.4 or 17, after much research, I still cant understand REAL differences in wsuxga+ codes.
HD: 5400-7200 RPM, size isnt a huge issue
Bat: isnt a big deal, as I will accept unplugged time limits.
OS: Vista Home
anything else seems unimportant to me
I have been seriously considering the satellite x205-s9349 with the geforce 8700m GT
I have also been considering systems with dual 7950s but really want to have a DX10 capable laptop so that it would *hopefully* last a few years. But the GF 85/600s I have read over and over about how seriously underpowered and dissapointing they are.
I have been watching Xotic Sager, M-tech, hypersonic, falcon-nw, alienware, killer, acer, anandtech and widow... They all seem like good systems, but I am budgeted to about $2,000, less is better as its all going on credit anyway.
Anyone have any suggestions to help me decide?
Anyone with gaming laptop, this satellite model especially, or with any other similar setup, can you tell me how well it plays Oblivion in outdoors, large space sims, and Supreme Commander?
Any thoughts are very appreciated, Thanks!
