Ok, I have 2 laptops in mind

1. HP Proobook 4530s
http://www.mega.pk/l...Ci5,4GB,-640GB-).html

2. Acer Aspire 5750
http://www.mega.pk/l...spire-5750.html

I am not really sure which one I should get, my desktop can't run it on a great frame rate with everything setting on low and resolution set to 800x600, I turn the res. up a notch to 1024x768 and the fps drops by 20 frames and im running an i3 with a cheap ati radeon card( cant remember which model and i cant check right now) with 4gig ram. Help me pleeeeeeease or suggest something better within the budget($800)

kthxbie

I wanna ask too but didn't wanna open another thread.

I currently have a laptop that can play Dota 2 on 24fps (kinda bad but it's playable) and it's broken. I've decided to invest on a desktop

Processor :Intel Core i3 2120 (3.3GHz / 3MB Cache)
Chipset : Intel H61 Express Chipset
Memory : 2GB DDR3 (upgradable to 8GB)
HDD : 500GB SATA2
Graphics : Intel HD Graphics

Is this good and can I play games like MW3/BF3/Skyrim? Not necessarily on High quality as I don't really care about those things. Please help me and thanks!

@mau5fan4lyfe

I'll go for the Acer.

#1

With this card - NO!

Save $ for Radeon 6790 or if u are Nvidia fanboy GTX460 ot 550 Ti

BTW: Never buy a ready desktop case! Buy parts separately!

[RaginReap]

#2 It is on sale and I'm no expert in this but can't i upgrade a ready desktop case?

[miniwill]

I have a i5 and run well, but i had a little delay.. and not have graphic card..

Well i just bought a new laptop and i was watching 3 of em where one was the HP Proobook 4530s. They pretty much told me that thats not a gaming laptop and will start overheating if played constantly. Also that ACER has better graphic card so I'd pick the ACER.
I got i5, 4gb ram and Geforce GT540m and got no problems with dota 2 at all

Since you already have a desktop just upgrade your gpu. I can't choose any from the choices you provided because of the shitty gpu they provide.

#1 nope. mw3,skyrim is too much for that build. it'll get fried.

[nomanaforheal]

i play dota2 on a single core ASUS desktop w/ nvidia gefore 8400 ,
IT RUNS GREAT

NO!

#1 For real Intel HD Graphics to play SKyrim, MW3 and BF3? Oh my...Just get a AMD Radeon HD 6850/Nvidia GTS 450.
By the way, be ready to pay more for HDD because after the Thailand flood the price hiked about 100%.

[RaginReap]

so all i need is just upgrade the graphic card and then i'll be able to play dota 2?
Anything else i need to upgrade? I'm looking around for prices, I'm not rich as I'm only a student

[Helga]

#9 i would also upgrade RAM to at least 4 GB...but else its all right id say

[RaginReap]

#10 i'm taking 8gb ram, is it overkill? I can afford it np

Thanks all for helping ^^

[mau5fan4lyfe]

So, im going with the acer, does any1 know a good fix for the black edges of the screen on laptops?? i mean when the res. is at 8x6 the edges and black the ui doesnt stretch out, but on my desktop that never happens...kinda annoying -.- makes it so hard to play..

[kammykazee]

im planning on buying a new gaming desktop too but dont know if Im getting a good deal.

http://kitchener.kij...QAdIdZ332491928

For 1.3k

Please tell me if its a good deal or bad.

[pokra]

#13 That is a really bad deal. No optical drive. Just 70GB HDD? Average GPU for $1.3k.

Since you are in Canada, NCIX is the best tech shop for you. For $1.3K, you will get a lot more powerful gaming rig.

Here are some builds for $1k from Tom's Hardware:

http://www.tomshardw...u-ssd,3027.html

With the extra $300, you could upgrade to 8Gb from these two builds, buy some game titles, etc.
