Anyone here play games (or try) on your laptop? For me, it's my only choice and it's the worst thing to ever play games with.:mad: What sort of games do you play on your laptop and at what graphics settings?
Starcraft 2 , Medium for all except for cinematics and things of similar function
As well as a bunch of old - 2010 games
I often use my Lappie for Gaming, but the lighter titles like MMOs (WoW, Champions).
MINECRAFT All the way on my Lappie and then of course PopCapTitles like Plants vs Zombies.
I use my main PC for the AAA Titles :)
I only play games on my laptop, everything maxed out pretty much :)
You'll need a very good spec'd laptop to play games on it :)
I don't know about that, I can play on one of the Drone Laptops at home as well, and that cost all of 4800 Bucks
Acer Emachine 720
Core i5 CPU, 4 GB DDR 3 Ram, 500 GB HDD and a ATi 5470 GFX Card
Runs pretty much everything on par with a standard desktop, but obviously not as well as the Alienware I was referring to above
Where do you get such a good laptop like that for R4800?Quote:

And as stated that mid level laptop runs a 5470 ATi, the Alienware has a 5890
Yoh, so seems like the hardware on Laptops have improved a lot. will have to check this out myself. always believed desktop is the best option
Don't get me wrong, there are still major advantages to having a Dekstop, especially if you take into consideration what high end laptops cost
my laptop is pretty old now about 4 years old, celeron m 1.6, 512 ddr 2 ram, intel gma graphics, but it does play half life 2 , portal, CS source, fifa 09, unreal tournament 2004 etc. on low to medium settings. but since i game 90% of the time on the pc, 360 and *cough* wii i rarely play on the lappy (usually only when im out and bored)
Does anyone play games with the integrated graphics (i.e Intel Cards)?
The graphics card in my laptop is an Intel HD Graphics...it's rubbish, really rubbish. I can play FIFA 11 on medium graphics
AMD's llano chipset will have some higher end amd cards for laptops.
There are modded drivers for some intel graphics solutions.Quote:

This sounds interesting. Does it make much of a difference?Quote:

pretty decent rig for 2009 model laptop.
core 2 duo 2ghz that i overclocked to 2.5ghz
4gig ddr2
320gb 7200rpm + space for another one
gtx 260m ( like desktop 9800gt just tad declocked)
bc2 and blackops only game dipping into 20 fps, rest plays fine or games i did test.
cpu is holding back the laptop, heard 3ghz core 2 duo , is what needed for bc2.
screen quality does look bit weak to my 23 inch as res is only 1366x768, so i will keep gaming on my desktop, though main purpose was to take it to lans :)
P.s total cost was 5.3k
4k from ebay user for laptop to usa.
used borderlinx.com to ship to s.a, 1.3k express shipping and taxes.
for price it is a awesome laptop :)
Yes.......Quote:

BFBC2 and TF2 are unplayable (for the most part) on my netbook so i play Battlefield Play4Free (on low settings), Starcraft 2 (on low settings) and Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012 Demo.
Would be interested in hearing about any other low resource-needy games...
Do you know where I can download this driver? I really want to try this :)Quote:

Looked there. Very interesting site..unfortunately they only have mods for the 32bit version and I run 64bit. I also don't know if the 4500M mod will work for my card the 4500MHD..Quote:

this is actually a really cool topic. do you guys know of any local places where you can select your own components and they build the laptop for you. Is that even possible or if you want a lappie must you settle for a pre-build thing?
Mostly prebuilt I think! If you're looking for a great lappy, Alienware MX14 series! BRILLIANT!
My fiancee plays DAoC on her laptop quite nicely, it's not bad at all. Err will have ot ask what laptop it is though, really can't remember.
My laptop isnt the best but I manage to play quite a few new games on it, not exact perfectly or on max settings but it gets the job done!
I do, but find its a nuisance cos the screen is so small :(
I dint have a desktop pc.. I use my laptop for all my games.. I'd say my pc is pretty capable..:) Haven't ha any trouble with any games so far..:D *touches wood* All on low-medium settings tho..:)
I play on my laptop all PC games. Mostly set to low or medium on everything. Never played anything on highest setting. But I have a PS3 for gaming also.
I do all my PC gaming on my laptop. I have a Dell XPS 17: i7 740Q, 4gb RAM (upgradeable to 16gb), GeForce 445M 3gb RAM. So far so good. Everything I've thrown at it so far works great. :) The machine would have been a beast if it had a really high-end GPU but oh well, not the end of the world. For 10k it was a bargain :)
That laptop is better than my pc :OQuote:

I have a Dell Vostro 1700 that's about 4 years old, but I upgraded everything to the max when I bought it - it still runs everything I throw at it pretty well. Always go for the top of the range laptop when you buy a new one, it'll last much longer than these entry level crap machines which needs replacing every 2 years, and you'll keep your natural hair colour for much longer :D
i only play on my laptop, i have to. the kids hog the desktop. most games have been ok, but it's not perfect
If you've got an older laptop with a graphics card, most games except FPS games are playable.
If you've got any laptop with onboard graphics, your computer should manage to run dosbox
a laptop can do the job but is now where near as good as a desktop, but sc2 on the laptop is a decent option. :)
Things is, you got to manually adjust a laptop for gaming. Like you have to set how much processor power and if you are using wireless, you got to set that to maximum performance as well. The default settings should be the Energy star compliant stuff or manufacturer specific settings. You should change those settings if you want a good experience.
I intend to invest in a lekker lappie next year, if I move to South Korea. Electronics are much cheaper there if I am to believe what some of my friends say. My one requisite is that it is able to run D3 maxed at a stable 30fps. So much want
