I built a PC a few years back and it's still running strong. I mostly play Diablo III and Starcraft. I'll be deploying to Afghanistan this fall and don't want to bring my bulky PC.

Looking for laptop suggestions. If it were capable of running D3 & SC2 on the lowest settings I would be fine with that.

Thanks.

Well my old core 2 duo ran starcraft 2 in the lowest settings... but that was just horrible, so whats your budget? what other games do you play?

Integrated graphics on the i5 should get you to decent medium setting on starcraft.
If you want more gaming horsepower you could get for the same price a trinity or richland laptop.

I don't mean to hate on you, but that G505 has been a hit and miss laptop lately. Alot of people have hated them.

U can't trust alienware. These laptops are low quality and have many overheating problems. If he buy one, it will die in 2 years (the laptop).
