The AMD A6 processor is good and will handle most games, The radeon graphics is excellent(depends on the model). generally the laptop is okay for games. |

Present situation of things in the gaming industry If you are in playing the latest games in high or the highest settings possible, you have to spend money. it not cheap. The Intel graphics that everyone on this thread is screaming about will not cut it. Sorry to bust your bubble. Now unto the real info. You need at least a Dual core processor at 2.7/8ghz to play games. I do recommend Quad core though. In the RAM department, 8GB will be the sweet spot. In the graphics area, you need at least an AMD or Nvidia Video card with dedicated graphics. to be specific, place your money on the HD 7000 range upward for AMD and 570M for Nvidia. for your hard drive, go with a 72000rpm drive or if you have enough money, go the SSD route. This is it!!!! 1 Like |

there are several laptop u can use for gaming,it depends on yur pocket. the cheapest one i have is del inpiron with I gig dedicated @ 89k |
Re: Choosing The Right Laptop For Gaming by csteve: 11:01pm On Nov 14, 2012 |
dont just buy laptop becus of its gaming perfomance,, I know everyone needs a notbook that its ba3 can last. Nividea and ATI runs at 64bpf against intel HD that runs at 32bpf. And that drains ur ba3. So get a laptop that will serve you all round. Gaming, durability, and everyday operation and when it gets fault,, can you realy be on the safe side. And I know you wont want to get your pocket so dry. So get a laptop with i3 or i5 processor and intel HD4000 graphic card. Save up money and play atleast over 50% tight games... Pavillion g6t-2000 select edition is not bad.. 1 Like 1 Share |

meipsum1: Please what is the meaning of this HD4000, HD7000, Nividea e.t.c. I want to buy a long lasting(at least 5years) laptop I will use for DOWNLOADING TEXTBOOKS, LONG HOURS TEXTBOOK READING, GAMES PLAYING, DOWNLOADING AND WATCHING VIDEOS, BROWSING and other general use of a laptop during Christmas because that is when laptops are usually cheap. What I was told is to buy any HP Core i5 system, with 4GB RAM, 500GB hard disk. I was not told anything about all these HD4000, HD7000, Nividea, 32bpf e.t.c you are all talking about. PLEASE WHAT IS THE MEANING OF ALL THESE THINGS? AND WHAT OTHER THINGS DO I NEED TO LOOK OUT FOR WHEN BUYING MY SYSTEM APART FROM Core i5, 4GB RAM, 500GB hard disk. God bless you as you reply. The HH 4000, 5000 Nvidia shit u have been seeing on here is the graphics card that will enable you to play those games well. Here is what you need to go for if you need your computer to last 5years. Avoid HP if you can. You need the ffg specs Core Quad 17 2.3 8GB ram HDD 750gb 7200rpm 15 or 17 inch shd do fine. Graphics AMD Mobility HD 6000 series updward (I recommend this becos AMD have stopped driver support for the 4000 series) or Nvidia GTX 500 series. |

Re: Choosing The Right Laptop For Gaming by ciphoenix: 6:49pm On Nov 20, 2012 |
avoid hp |
Re: Choosing The Right Laptop For Gaming by moonraker(m): 2:20am On Nov 21, 2012 |
meipsum1: Thank you for your reply. why do you recommend I avoid HP? Which brand do you recommend I go for? is Core i7 the same as Core Quad 17 2.3 (I have never heard core Quad 17 2.3 before)? Lastly, can you please give the specific name of a laptop that contain all these you mentioned (e.g what I mean by specific name is names like Dell inspiron 1545, HP pavilion dm4 e.t.c)? I stated that the HP brand should be avoided if you can because HP dont make computers like they use to back in the days. The quality control on their part is horrific. You will be lucky if you are able to use your computer for 3years without it breaking down. Oooo and dont get me started with support. Imagine a laptop that is one year old with 3years Guarantee is no longer supported by them (Driver wise). how the heck does that happen?? My recommended brand?? Asus, MSI and may be acer or dell. Core i7 is a dual core processor (Two logical cores) Core 17 Quad is a Quad core processor (Four logical cores) Naturally, the Quad is better but some programs have not been coded to work with the quad cores yet but well to future proof your system, GO QUAD!!! The laptop with all of these things?? thats a hard one. I can only do that if i know your budget Thank you |
