2.4 ghz Core i5 450m 6gb DDR3 500gb 7200rpm SATA ati mobility radeon hd 5470 It is a very fast computer. It can play Starcraft on low settings very easily. Once I bump it up to Medium or High however, I get some mouse lag. If you go into settings and click the Reduce Mouse Lag button, it runs Medium and High graphics very well (however, you get a drop in FPS. Not sure how much of a drop. Still is playable imo though). I usually play on Medium, because I can't really tell a difference between that and High. I got this laptop to play starcraft 2, and to do everything else I want. As far as browsing the web and multitasking, it's a very fast computer. Starcraft 2 is playable on Medium with the reduce mouse lag option and the best part is it isn't SUPER expensive. I got mine for $734 dollars from Dell after tax. Not too bad, I'd say. | ||

I have laptop - HP dv5 Intel core 2 duo P7350 2.00ghz 3Gb RAM GeForce 9600GTM and windows vista. I think its pretty good laptop (I can play Assaisn creed 1 and 2, and other new games but game like GTA IV is too much for it) but even on the lowest settings in big battles i have big FPS drops, i cant play 3v3 or 4v4 due to low FPS. Could you tell my if it is normal on this kind of laptop or i have sth going wrong ? | ||

http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/801801435?page=1 ------- I took a lot of notes and went through the posts before I purchased my notebook. Here's my notes from the thread. I hope you find them useful: Notebooks that were able to play at 1920x1080 on Ultra settings include: Sony Vaio F12 (i7 720QM, 6 GB RAM, nVidia 330M, $1589 US) HP Envy 15 (i5 540, Radeon Mobility 5830, $2000 US) ASUS G73JH-TZ038V (i7 720QM, 8 GB RAM, Radeon Mobility 5870) Notebooks that didn't work at 1920x1080 on Ultra: ASUS G51J (i7 720QM, 4 GB RAM, nVidia 260M) From what I could tell, the nVidia 2xx series can't play 1920x1080 on Ultra. The Radeon Mobility 58xx can. It sounded like both the i5 and i7 processors can run that fast. Be careful, though, because the mobile versions of the CPUs are different than the desktop versions, both in the number of cores and the amount of L3 cache. Also for comparison, my old notebook, a Core2 Duo with a nVidia Quadro 110M couldn't play StarCraft II at 1024x768 on all Low settings. I ended up purchasing an Alienware M15x. I spent $2070 US. I could have saved $230 US if I didn't want Windows 7 Pro and the Blu-Ray player. I also wanted to have an integrated DVD-ROM instead of an attachment, so I didn't look at the M11x, which also could have saved money. It's a considerable investment, considering that it only took $700 to upgrade my home desktop to be able to play StarCraft II at 1920x1080 on Ultra. This notebook plays StarCraft II at 1920x1080 on Ultra settings. It doesn't lag in single player, ladder games, 2v2, or 3v3. I haven't played in 4v4 games or in some of the custom maps, though. I like the notebook. It's a lot bigger than I expected, though. It didn't fit in my old computer bag. Some other prices that I found: Used ASUS ASG51JX-A1 for $1200 on Facebook ASUS G51JX-X2 $1200 Amazon 1080p NVIDIA GeForce 360M 1 GB DDR5 ASUS G51JX-X3 $1031 Amazon 1080p LED 360M http://www.amazon.com/Republic-Gamers-G51JX-X3-15-6-Inch-Gaming/dp/B00361G0ZO I hope that you (the original poster) find some of this information useful. | ||

If you have the cash for it, I would High HIGHLY recomend the HP Envy 14. I ussually hate HP products but this laptop is probably the best made computer I have ever layed hands on (and Im a slut when it comes to computers). It comes with Two Graphics cards, a dedicated one for when your plugged in, and an onboard for when you are in class/on a plane etc. The transition between them takes a second, and can freeze the whole laptop to the point of a hard reset if you try and switch while too much is going on. But that only troubled me for like the first week. It can play SC2 On High/Ultra Easy when its on its dedicated graphics, but at the same time, I use it for university to take notes and I get atleast 6 hours of battery life out of it, and thats with Wifi on most of the time, and medium brightness. Other than GFX and battery life, its incredibly well built. Solid, Durable, great keyboard (a chiclet keryboard though so some may not like it, I think it feels amazing to type on, and has a pretty decent 'click' to the keys so Its good for starcraft too. There are only 3 things about it I dont like. -No HDMI/DVI Out, Only two USB ports -Glossy Screen not so hot for outdoors -Like all HP laptops comes with a ton of bloatware, but that only took me about 45 minutes to scalpel out. | ||

6gb ram hd 4890 1gb 1920x1080 60fps at ultra loads faster than opponent 90% of the time for some reason it always stutters for half a second at the beginning of each game (perfect for me to do a half split) i play on high, i dont really see a difference and logically in my brain its decreasing the stress on my video card to allow it to last longer  | ||

Windows 7 Home Premium (64-Bit) i7-720QM 4GB DDR3 NVIDIA GeForce GT 230M 500GB (7200RPM) 15.6" Display 1366x768 Resolution It can run Medium even on 4v4. I play Medium most of the time as Ultra isn't a big difference on my laptop. I've tried Ultra and it can play Ultra a bit. It will slow down a bit and my laptop gets really hot whenever there's a big showdown.

I see you are discussing about the CPU power for SC2. I have Core 2 Duo E6400 (2.13MHz) and I have some drops in fps in 4v4 and I am wondering if it will have any result if I overclock it to 2.7Mhz. My system is good except for my CPU. I overclocked it to 2.4 but there were still fps drops :S | ||
