Hello, I am planning on getting a new laptop soon. Currently I am in the SA-MP community but planning on switching to GTA IV soon. I need a new laptop first. My Budget is around 400$ Before you guy say nothing can run it under 400$, I know there are laptops that can. Can't get a desktop for reasons. This is the First laptop I saw. I would like to play GTA IV with LCPDFR , ELS and a few car mods. I can handle GTA IV on low settings. (( I play GTA SA on low settings and get about 12 fps.)) I don't mind if they are Refurbished btw.

Just a heads up, Refurbished laptops are going to cause issues. I should know, Its happened to me before (The GPU detached from overheating after a refurb)

Best bet is to go for a brand new laptop

NO!!!!! My friend has a dell XPS laptop and his dad has that exact laptop with those graphics. He can't play the game for a second without loosing textures. His resource usage or whatever is like 52GB.

P.S. I'm talking about the first laptop. When it comes to the second, I'm clueless...

Alright, I can go brand new. What do you think of the laptops though?
