Buying this laptop

[meat pie 632]

I plan on getting this laptop soon so I want to find out if this laptop can,play dayz with a ok fps with any settings and ,if it can play games like left 4 dead 2,killing floor,and blacklight retribution with good fps on normal or higher.

my idea of good fps is 30 or higher with little to no dipping.

other then that I just want to get as much info as I can so any input is appreciated.

Thanks and hear is the laptop.

Guys I don,t have room for a desktop!

now please tell me about the laptop as a laptop,not how I should not get it!

Buy a desktop, there's a reason why the powerfull vga cards are half the size of a laptop. Don't get fooled by the hardware's naming, it's marketing only.

That laptop costs about $900, and I'm buying a desktop thats about 597 times better and about the same price.

Intergrated graphics suck for gaming, and the processor will be too slow unless you boost it.

Everyone here will 100% tell you go for desktop, and from personal experience the 650 and 670m integrated cards cant even run Bf3 at 40 frames a second

You have room for a desktop, its not hard and you will get like 1000 times more bang for your buck.

And to add a last note

This is posted in the wrong section of the forums :P

I say instead of porking out money to buy a laptop that will barely compete with desktops in performance, how about you upgrade your current desktop and get a cheaper laptop?

[Korsbaek 1778]

I think this will do pretty good on high or normal. I have the same specs but with a GTX 675mX, and it runs 60 fps on the highest settings.

the mx adds a bit more value 680mx is basically equivalent to the 580. so those mac people who say they have a 680 are lying they have a 580.

No, it won't. Whats the point in spending ~$1000 on a laptop that will struggle and choke at <30 frames on low / normal, when you can spend the equivilent amount on a desktop that will run the game on high at 50FPS?

OP, unless you live in a box or a car, I'm sure you can find a little bit of room for a tower, monitor, keyboard and mouse.
