Hi guys looking to get a new laptop to mainly play this game. I travel for work so I cant have a desktop. Looking to spend around $1000 more or less. Anyone have any luck running one with good fps ? Any suggestions on any laptops? Thanks!

Well get a macbook pro but then don't because a macbook pro isnt good for running any mods if that's what you're looking for...

Sorry bud,Can't help...Thats all i can say.By chance are you a truck driver because my dad is and i'm with him Right Now... :P ...Anyway back to subject,A macbook pro cost 2k but im just suggesting to get a Regular windows Laptop :/

Don't know of any laptops that can run FAST,GTA IV has to run on a powerful Nice smooth pc...I don't know :/ .

Sorry...

I got an i5 laptop with a GT540M but the laptop problem is it needs to be connected to a power line in order to give his full CPU speed, When i play GTA it doesnt lagg when i disconnect the power BOOM like a lagg switch,

So i dont know if a laptop can run this gamer without being connected.

I recommend a Custom Built Desktop PC, not a laptop, i could post my specs if you'd like.

I would recommend you get one with at least 3GHz because from now on that's what you need. Personal experience I bought the Acer aspire 5755G. It cost $1047

It does if it has switchable graphics like mine.

I can just click a button to switch to the weak power saving GPU if I'm on the go and need to get some college work done, if I want to I can then switch to my High Perfomance GPU and play games like GTA IV and ArmA 2 with no problems.

Thanks for the replys. Still having a hard time deciding what to get . I really dont know anything about graphic cards ? Here are a few I found

Yeah, I just got a new laptop, Samsung, and was wondering the same thing. I HIGHLY doubt that it can run it but here are the specs:

QuadCore AMD A6 with Radeon Graphics card (Not sure what model to be exact)

4 gigs of ram

500 gig hard drive

I can change the settings of the processor to power save or performance. Would this be at all adequte? Or way subpar to even attempt to play?

Side note: I have a question about FRAPS, the ingame recording program, where should I post for this, its not related to GTA IV or LCPDFR? Thx. Sorry for that quick threadjack. PM me the answer so it doesnt clog this up.
