I've had this same issue.

Thanks very much. I appreciate it.

I am thinking hopefully less than $700.

I am actually considering buying a desktop instead, because it's much cheaper.

Having a desktop isn't feasible for me. I'm going to college in the fall and it would work better to be able to do my school work and play games on the same laptop. My question is what is the difference between Intel Core i7-4700MQ 4-Core 2.4GHz and Intel Core i7-4700MQ 2.4GHz? Because I am not sure of the difference between the processor with 4-Core on gamedebate processor requirements and the one in the laptop I am looking to get.

I recently discover my laptop does not require the specs needed for running DayZ standalone. I don't mind investing money to update my laptop, as it's a few years old. However, the laptop I am looking at has the NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M graphics card. The processor is Intel Core i7-4700MQ 2.4 Ghz. Would these specs be good enough to run Dayz?

Today I purchased and downloaded DayZ standalone. When I clicked the 'play' button, it opened in very poor quality. I am having trouble moving around the mouse. I am not sure what the problem is or what to do. I reinstalled it and I still have the same problem. I even downloaded it it on my back up latop and had the same issue. Please help.
