 Posted: Sat Jul 03, 2010 4:52 pm Post subject: Buying a New laptop |
 |
|
| Hello, I am buying a new laptop I need it to be able to play World Of Warcraft, I have a 700 dollar budget, but about 300 dollars of that is future shop gift cards, so it pretty much has to be from future shop, i also need to be able to pick it up Not have it shipped, because i am moving soon(within two weeks) and i don't want to have it not be here before i move. Oh and i live in Canada, Alberta, Edmonton If that helps. I would be very appreciative if someone could help me.

If I were you, I'll buy it until I've finish with the moving, since thing will definitely get lost during transportation.

.........................I didn't even bother to look at that. What kind of laptop does not have integrated wifi? This is why people hate both canada and futureshop. Just, wow, what a bullshit store. This laptop must be 15 years old to not include wifi. I submit.

Good. Now the 4250 chip is based on the 3400, but it should play HD videos and such in a snap. As far as gaming goes do not get your hopes up on newest at full, but things from the past few years should run on medium low. This is a decent laptop all around though. I actually have not seen many with a tri core.
This thing will play wow on high. Lag would probably be a connection thing. Wow only needs a P4 after all. The graphics requirements arent that bad either.

Would not know. Don't play LoL. But I do know it should meet the recommended settings for WoW

Well, here's a list of game i tried to play on 4250, all on 1366x762 setting btw
MW2: lowest setting 10-25fps Single player, on the ice map
TF2- medium setting, 25-40fps, somewhat playable
Aion- Lowest setting 40fps, 0-5 on cities, unplayable in cities
Wow- same as Aion, 0-5 fps on populated cities
Minecraft Dev- 100+ fps all the way
Hero of Newerth- medium setting 30-40fps somewhat playable, but teamfights turned into shit storm
Starcraft II- hey, 40-50fps on lowest setting
Didn't even bother running Far Cry, Metro, Stalker
Not gaems:
DXVA works, but not perfect on some weird encoding

This sounds like RoM on my netbook. I got like 40 fps in areas but cities were the matrix. But with this shit future site, its hard to find something decent.
If he can muster up another 50 bucks, plus shipping, http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/gateway-gateway-14-intel-core-i3-laptop-id49c01h-silver-id49c01h/10146659.aspx?path=b0b83b0f090073ab35eade1a78fd995aen02 will do him justice.

CPU bottleneck meng, always fucking happen. If OP wants a gaeman laptop he would want something like CULV core2, or the i3. probably 45xx, GT240M, or above
Avoid AMD laptop at all cost, shit is not worth it
