    Laptop/Laptop Spec suggestion

    Hey all, I was curious if anyone could suggest a model or at least perhaps a Laptop GPU/CPU combination that would run this game at 60 FPS on the lowest "Standard laptop" settings. Not looking for a gaming rig laptop, I have a desktop for that, this is just for a few hours a day when I'm away from home. So as long as it runs the lowest settings smoothly it's fine by me, looking for preferably a lower cost laptop. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks

    I was about to say "I run my game on a laptop hahaah" but you want 60fps. Ahah okay I get like 15. If ou want something that good you'll need a high-end gaming laptop I would think..

    I have been using Asus for at least the past 6 or more years for gaming, wow and FFXlV, The model i'm using is old, i'm due for an upgrade, but it has run WONDERFULLY in its time i've used it, I'm using an Asus G74sx, though i'll bet there's a newer, more powerful model out there now if you are looking for a good sturdy quality gaming laptop

    Alienware and Asus Gaming laptops are bit overkill for what I really need unfortunately. $1,000+ For a laptop is a bit too ridiculous when my desktop was built for less and probably has double the specs. I'm looking for more in the $500-$700 Range, I just need it to run fairly smooth on the most minimal settings possible even if on DX9. I'm just unfortunately not well versed in the realm of laptops, I've only ever build desktops, so I'm not entirely sure what Laptops are a decent "midrange"

    I know I'm a bit late, but my best advice is to go to different best buy locations looking for returns that they are looking to sell. I got very lucky with my laptop. Two years ago I spotted a dell sitting on the display shelf, stated refurbished. It was missing the snap-on lid that dells had around then, no problem, 15 bucks on ebay. However, I got this laptop for $480 and it had a GT650M and an i7.

    Go out hunting, and best of luck.

    Well for $550 I got this laptop:
    Lenovo Y50
    i7-4700HQ 2.4GHz (3.4GHz turbo boost)
    16GB DDR3-1600
    256GB SSD
    15.6" 1080P IPS LCD
    GTX 860M 2GB
    802.11ac
    Bluetooth 4.0
    3 x USB 3.0

    I run on high for laptop and usually get above 30FPS in most places. Sometimes above 60FPS. I got about 6000 on the Heavensward benchmark too.

    Where did you purchase that at? the Y50 specs seem different when shopping for it and the price is around $1k
