I know I know but I have a low budget :( link me a good laptop then please :p
It's hard to link to any good laptops without testing them, this one looks good & cheap on paper, but might be shit http://ireland.dell.com/ie/en/home/Dell-Laptops/inspiron-m5010/pd.aspx?refid=inspiron-m5010&s=dhs&cs=iedhs1&ref=lthp laptop on far right (don't know how good the 1GB radeon 550v is I remember it being a re-badged 4650, check this) always go down dell xps route http://ireland.dell.com/ie/en/home/Dell-Laptops/xps-15/pd.aspx?refid=xps-15&s=dhs&cs=iedhs1&~ck=mn i'll let someone else find out the stats on the geforce 1gb 420m, mix time]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=14888&post=257904 Fri, 17 Dec 2010 19:48:43 +0100 Reply by Animal https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-14888/page-1/?recent=258007#post=257903 Quoted from Tikcus
triple core @ 2.1 ghz with radeon 5650- would be better (can they customise), you'll always have to compromise when buying a laptop somewhere core i5 with radeon 5650 would be better
as u said, no L3 cache, so only ones that would stand close to i5 would be high clock ones - AMD Phenom II X2 N620 2.8ghz u wont get decent fps on 4250 - http://www.notebookcheck.net/ATI-Radeon-HD-4250.29664.0.html 1500 3dmarks vs 4000 marks with 4570/5470 (barely runs tf2 at 60fps mids on 1024x768)]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=14888&post=257903 Fri, 17 Dec 2010 19:47:15 +0100 Reply by The Sniper https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-14888/page-1/?recent=258007#post=257902 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=14888&post=257902 Fri, 17 Dec 2010 19:46:39 +0100 Reply by The Sniper https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-14888/page-1/?recent=258007#post=257897 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=14888&post=257897 Fri, 17 Dec 2010 19:42:29 +0100 Reply by Tikcus https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-14888/page-1/?recent=258007#post=257896 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=14888&post=257896 Fri, 17 Dec 2010 19:41:54 +0100 Reply by Animal https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-14888/page-1/?recent=258007#post=257894 Quoted from Phrozen
So what would you recommend then edit: what about this? http://www.elara.ie/products/detailsfullat.asp?productcode=ECE2082210#spec 2.2 dual core and ati mobility radeon HD 4250 2nd edit: http://www.elara.ie/products/detailsfullat.asp?productcode=ECE2058284#spec this one looks good triple core 2.1ghz so if it uses 2 cores at 2.1 ghz and te vid card is ati radeon 5470
if u want decent fps - phenom II x2(two cores - 2.8ghz and up) or core i5 (any, all of em also have two cores) or i7 with two core setup (expensive) the one u showed is worse than previous and since its sony, the cooling will be shite aswell, those aint gaming laptops... not to mention gpu isnt even for gaming and yes, athlons should be avoided, same with core 2 duo's, they are outdated]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=14888&post=257894 Fri, 17 Dec 2010 19:40:36 +0100
