I need a best bang for my buck laptop!

[slevin]

so i want it to play san andreas other than that just the norm internet, movies, music. so whatever is the best price that does all that would be good. also can a netbook do all that or is there no chance?

No chance. Your budget limits your options severely, just make sure your laptop will have dedicated graphics while shopping around.

so nothing in my price rang will play san andreas?

Few notebooks could, and it would lag even on lowest of settings.

so what can run san andreas on high doesnt need to be a specific laptop i just need to know what to look for in one. also is there a diferance between a laptop and a notebook?

 

[frozenlead]

There's no difference between a laptop and a notebook. I use notebook because it's actually quite bad to use your notebook on your lap.

In order to play the game on high, you're going to need a high-end graphics card. The 9800mGTS might be able to do it, but I'd feel safer with at least a 9800mGTX. All in all, this notebook is going to be $1500+

[frozenlead]

u didnt i made the comparison and would really like you to answer the question

 

[frozenlead]

What comparison? Where did you find that someone got COD5 to run on high at that res? (which isn't astonishing, it just depends on hardware) Why is it that if COD5 runs, so should san andreas? I don't understand your logic or your question.

I'll have to admit though, until now I thought you meant GTA4. I'm not a fan of the series and don't know it well. In that case, the 4670 will do just fine.

on the reviews and thank you that explains the confusion

 

[slevin]

ok so since you now know im talking about older 9x games is there maybe a cheaper route than the laptop i suggested on newegg?

 

[frozenlead]

Not really. The ~$700 range is probably what you should get.
