Laptop Advice


Recommended Posts

Alright, I'm heading off to college in August, and unfortunately I won't be able to take my desktop with me (it won't support GTA IV anyway) So I've been looking into getting a laptop for school that I could also use for gaming. Alienware is WAY out of my price range currently: so I focused on Dell's Inspiron Laptops. Below I have listed the specs for three I'm strongly considering, I'd appreciate it if you guys could help recommend which one would be best. (I'm new to computer gaming) Note: All three laptops come in at about $850.

Laptop 1

Genuine Windows® Home Premium, 64-Bit, English

2nd Generation Intel® Core™ i5-2410M processor 2.30 GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 2.90 GHz

6GB Shared Dual Channel DDR3 Memory

640GB 5400 RPM SATA Hard Drive

AMD Radeon™ HD 6470M (64-bit) 512MB (Dual)

Laptop 2

Genuine Windows® Home Premium, 64-Bit, English

4GB Shared Single Channel DDR3 Memory

500GB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive

AMD Radeon™ HD 6470M (64-bit) 1GB Graphic

2nd Generation Intel® Core™ i5-2410M processor 2.30 GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 2.90 GHz

Laptop 3

Genuine Windows® Home Premium, 64-Bit, English

500GB 5400 RPM SATA Hard Drive

One little thing before the other members start a war, LAPTOPS WILL NEVER BE GREAT FOR GAMING.

Now that's said, enjoy the long specs-war below my post :P

I know laptops will never be great for gaming. I'm not looking for world-class visuals I just want to be able to play LCPDFR, and due to college a laptop is my only option at the moment.

The second Laptop. But you can't upgrade laptops xO.

With 850$ you could build your own desktop pc.

WTF? The second laptop is the weakest of all three o.O

First one.

Due to the graphic nature of this post, reader discretion is advised.

Thanks for all of your input guys. I'm going to go with the Second one, should be a nice 18th birthday present to myself.

Oh would it be better if I switched to the 6GB Shared Dual Channel DDR3 Memory, because I'm still under 900 bucks with it.
