Havent decided yet. I´m trying to get an idea of the specs I need before shopping around.

In my experience there is no such thing a budget "gaming laptop" espcially if you want good performance.

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

Could you be a bit more specific? 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.

I don´t think its impossible, before my old laptop began having overheating issues I could play 3v3 and 4v4 games with reasonably low lag. And it was only AMD Athlon II P320 with ATI Radeon HD 5650. If I got I5 with GT 555m/550, it should do better.

You don't mean 1000 supply fights do you?

I did get lag in those games. Still playable most of the time though. My clanmates with equally squalid computers where always like "ok we have to end the game before supply gets too high"

So I´m looking at 3 models and would love your help to choose between them.

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?

well i have been in the pretty much same situation like you just about a month ago.
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.

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.

id just like to add that, the guy who gave the advice, is using a laptop himself. dont remember the exact specs but its an i7. ofcourse your out the budget class, but it is still affordable and runs sc2 very smoothly. im personally pretty jealous of that laptop, but if you invest a bit more than you plan now, you will get a machine that is very cabable for atleast double as long as the budget class, so in that perspective i guess they cost the same.
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
