A laptop capable of running high supply 3v3/4v4 with no slowing is going to cost you! | ||

What kind of specs would I need to be able to play high supply 3v3/4v4 with little lag on medium settings? I dont operate on a fixed budget, I´m just trying to get what I want as cheap as possible.  | ||

You'd be looking at a 2500k, absolutely impossible to achieve on laptop btw As for choosing a laptop, I'd look for 6770M. It's about as good as GT555 and should be cheaper. | ||

ASUS N43SN VX117V 2.4 GHz I5-2430M GT 550M ASUS N55SF S1161V 2.3 GHz I5-2410M GT 555M MSI GT683 419NE 2.3 GHz I5-2410M GTX 560M All of these are supposed to have great cooling, so its mainly a question of GPU. Which one should I get? | ||

I dont know much about laptops myself, but i have a good friend who works as tech support and have been doing so for the last 7 years. His advise were as follow: if you want budget gaming laptop, its very hard to give reasonable advice when it comes to performance in sc2, because (as stated previously in this thread) sc2 dont really benefit from quad-cores and the exact performance on similar the more budget like system is very similar. both asus and msi exel at different settings etc. so the performance you get is very dependant on how you actually use the laptop. So, out of the three you posted, he would go for the cheapest, as the difference is so small and very hard to predict. They will all perform reasonable well, but can also cause lag in bigger teamfights, but it is very hard to say which will perform the best. so go for the cheapest or the one you feel most comfortable with :D p.s. his final advice was to skip the idea of a budget gaming laptop. if your on a budget go for a stationary. You will simply get a much better performance. I personally chose to go for the stationay, and i got an i5 thats easily capable of running sc2 4v4 maxed out games without lag on ultra settings for 4400 kr. if you want to get just half the performance on a laptop you should invest atleast 8000, just to be sure. not that it cant be done, but budget laptops are just not that reliable. | ||

Which one should I get? How is the price of 6770M in comparison to those? As I said it's about as good as GT 555 and usually cheaper. | ||

I cant do that since its mainly meant for playing with friends/clanmates, and transporting stationary computers around is just too much trouble. Other than that I think i´ll take your advice and buy the cheapest: ASUS N43SN VX117V. | ||

i know it is not really what you asked for, but all my budget laptops have seemed to become slower and slower in just 2 years, so thought you might take it into consideration also :D but then again, you might be able to get something that is 3 times a fast in 2 years for the same amount now, but its all guess work again :D | ||
