Hello, first of all I want to say: Thank you so much for helping me find my Laptop! Criteria: I would like to play games like Starcraft 2, Counterstrike, TF2, CoD, etc. on the go at Medium Settings and a playable FPS. I want the laptop to have a good enough CPU power and RAM so I can video edit 720p videos. The lowest hard drive space I need would be around 200GB. Maybe VGA port? (My aimed price would be as cheapest as you can find? or lower than 1000$) Notes: My friend was talking about the E350 AMD Processor? Thank you!!!
Bang for Buck You won't get much better power for what you want to do, and value for your dollar, than this Inspiron 15R @ $999 http://www.dell.com/au/p/inspiron-15r-n5110/pd?oc=u510316au&model_id=inspiron-15r-n5110#TechSpec That's a sandybridge processor you're getting there.
My Desktop doesn't even have an i7 0_o since i'm going to be using it for 4 years, would it be wise to buy it and keep good care? or just buy a cheaper one and switch in like a year or 2?
I'd be buying the Inspiron. Enjoy a good machine and gaming experience for three or four years, rather than stressing a low end machine that offers less performance and more frustration. You're not going to get a decent laptop graphics card for handling high-end games, by paying two or three hundred less than this Inspiron. It's a good machine, and excellent value for what you want, under $1000.
Thanks man! will see if I can get a better price somewhere, my father has connections at a computer store
I think this is better: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152258 (Oops double post wont happen again!)
Slightly better. If possible, it'd be best to avoid a laptop, but I'm assuming it's not...and no you won't really be able to get what you're looking for under $1000, maybe not even at $1000 depending on your idea of playable framerates.
