What's a Good laptop that can run 14?

I'm looking for a good laptop to run this game can anyone point me to a link that has it. or has the specs able to hold this game?

The current client? You're looking at dropping $1800+ for an Alienware M17x or M18x and another $100+ for some cooling pads. It's a horribly optimized engine running on some ancient deprecated version of DX9.

Eww cooling pads sound like 14 will blow up a Laptop. How about a Desktop thats not 2k? but can run the game at high-Standard setttings?

What hardware do you already own? Monitors, keyboards, case, CD drives, etc.

I have 22 Inch Screen, Wireless Keybored Mouse. speakers and a old old Ailenware beileve to be Auroa. I can afford least 1500$ should that be euff to get a runable PC?

Depending on what you can recycle, you're looking at:

$100-250 for a motherboard
$180 for a video card
$150-200 for a processor
$40-80 RAM
$50-80 for power supply
$100 for case.

Motherboard, video card, and processor are the things most likely in need of a replacement, while the RAM, power supply, and case can usually be recycled.

Look around http://www.tomshardware.com/ for articles and comparisons. You'll want some mid-range hardware, no more than the prices I listed. I have a computer from a year and a half ago (was mid-range when I bought it, and I made it specifically for FFXIV) and it's still good enough to play everything on max settings.

What I have now:

MB: Gigabyte 890FXA-UD7
Video: ATI 5770
Ram: 8 GB
Processor: AMD Phenom II 945

The rest is all stuff I recycled (case, DVD drive, monitor, power supply, etc). It cost me $700 for all those parts.

I have a "gaming" laptop, and it won't run it unless everything is lowered until you can't tell what is going on :(

Absolutely. ZAM has a ton of threads on building a PC for FFXIV. Here's one:

Otherwise, this should suit you fine:

ITT we're in 2009

laptops come in with i7s and GT540s now. It's not impossible to play this game and not look like ass.

I'm playing on a HP HDX 16 laptop with cooling fans. I think the only reason why I can play is the large amount of v memory I have. Its not the best but I can play with the geforce 130 M graphic card just below standard because I fear my laptop will blowup in my face even with the help of cooling fans. the graphic card usually go up to 70ish degrees C which is a ok temp.

so anything better than this should do you good lol. but you cant go wrong with a desktop.
