DayZ On A Laptop?

Recommended Posts

So I'm getting a laptop in a labour day sale and was wondering if some people who know a lot about hardware could help me out on whether I could run it on either of these:

1) http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834246629

2) http://m.bestbuy.ca/?lang=en#/catalog/productdetails.aspx?ajax=true&sku=10208054〈=en-CA

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

or if you want to spend a little more you could go with the new asus g75. i have the g73 and it runs almost every game perfectly.

have you ever played on a gaming laptop?

If he did it was probably a outdated piece of junk. I can play any current game on highest settings without a problem.

Best buy one is terrible, you NEED a GPU to play any game.

Also the Newegg one is ok, but Asus and saber/suder/whateverthehellit'scalled would be much better.

I'm playing on an Acer V3-771G-9875. Plays everything on high really smooth. Wasn't too terribly expensive and plays most games very well.

Specs:

Intel i7-3610QM @ 2.3 Ghz

17.3" Screen

6 GB RAM

nVidia Geforce GT 650M - 2 GB VRAM

I have a Toshiba i3 Satellite. DayZ runs smoothly, with some minor FPS drops, with very low quality on.

i3... those belong in netbooks, not laptops, and CERTAINLY NOT desktops.

Thanks for the help.

And thanks for the suggestions, but I need a 15.6" laptop because I will be bringing this everywhere and can't carry around a 17.3".

I did end up buying the G73SW!

what a fucking beast of a laptop.

its massive, but i didnt want it for portability.

2ghz i7, turbo to 3.2 ghz or something

8gb 1600 ram

120gb SSD and 500gb 7200rpm

nvidia gtx 460m 1.5gb

eat that dayz! getting some really good FPS on pretty high settings. Considering its a laptop...my desktop is about the same specs but with a gtx 570 and it does play much better, but still the laptop is incredible.

so that being said, i bought the g73 used mint for $550 canadian.

you can get that or the g53 (15" same spec) for great prices on ebay or local classifieds.

there was some ebay listings for the g53, they sold for 300-400 canadian.

keep in mind you want the SW version! it has the faster i7 and higher clock speed. As DayZ would prefer more ghz.
