Need price man

$799

Is that $799 Euro? I see your name is Techno Zombie so Euro? It will be a low end 'gaming' system if you want to call it that.

 

[technozombie]

no its $799 American and even if its low end I don't want to run battlefield 4 on it just wondering if it would be good to play mmo's or mobas on it

looks good enough. just dont expect a lot. you could also most likely find a cheaper laptop that will do the same. just to let you know it could play bf3 (not maxed of course) it most likely can play any game just not on highest settings

the biggest problem with laptops isnt that they are slow or anything. they are slower when compared to desktops of course but its that they are really expensive for what you get. dont expect a $800 desktop from a 800 or even 1300 or maybe 2000 laptop.


lastly are you stuck on this laptop, any reason why you want this one. with $800 you could probably get something with an intel cpu and a lower end nvidia gpu like a 730m or something

I'm getting it mostly for school since it has Microsoft office 2013, so it's entire package is made for a college student, I just was wondering if it could actually play games decently

Listen up. TigerDirect has a $1,100+ laptop right now for $800. You cannot find a spec like this anywhere at this price. I DARE YA! Take advantage before you luck out. Reading online, people complain about TigerDirect's shady practices, but I recently bought a $1,350 laptop for $1,050 from them, saving $300. It arrived in exactly one week, new and smokn' fast. The sale only lasted a few days.

12GB DDR3
500GB HDD
2GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M <-- SMOKEN' fast over the one you are going to buy!!!

Sure you don't get "free Office 2013" or whatever, but you can always take a computer class in school and get free Microsoft software, including MS Office. At least that's how it was a few years ago. Plus, you can use Open Office. AND... get this, you can get Microsoft Office STARTER version for FREE! I'm not joking. It has limited functionality, but unless you design Excel for 401k and tax functionality, I doubt you'll ever use all the full features.

Don't say I didn't warn you about this deal. Times a'tickn'
