Laptop Suggestions for School/Diablo III/FFXIV

[TheBlazed]

*I do Understand this is the wrong Area for this post.... I do not see a decent place to post this with as many active posters.

FFXIV takes a decent machine to run so i am propelled to post here under the impression most people here have decent laptops they use to play this and can reccommend one to me.

I would also like to recommend to Forum administrators to add a Computer Tech forum for questions like these.

Hello all, The Blazed here...

I have a Desktop customized for gaming so im not looking for a decked out powerful laptop.

Here is my desktop --> http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...180&CatId=4928

GPU Upgraded --> GTX 460
Power Supply Upgraded -> Corsair 750

(This is my future Gaming rig for right now... if any suggestions to make it better please post)


- I am looking for a Decent/Gaming/School work laptop.
-I hate slow processors and i prefer a decent graphics card.
- Must be able to play Diablo III (with recommended specs)

I will Mainly play games on my Desktop but i want to have the option of going on my laptop (obviously with a small performance decrease) for when i go to girlfriends house, in-between classes, etc. I like Big 17" screens, for those days when i set it on my chest and watch a movie... like a ghetto movie theater.


My budget is 400-650. 700 is the Ultimte Max.

I don't care for new or refurbished...
I just want a laptop with my requirements met and ill be a happy guy.

Thank you in Advance.
Blazed

That was my budget for a laptop that could play FFXIV at a playable pace, but I gave up. Though I'm rooting for you and I'll be watching this thread like a hawk >_>

No way ur gonna fine a rig to play XIV on a LT for 700. Sorry but unless something CRAZY happens and a particular brand has a sale or something... getting a LT with a GFX card like a GTX 460 right now on Newegg is starting at 869$ and maxing at 1.6k. Nice card and all but to really enjoy the game as close as it should be will cost you 1.4 min 1.8k max. Best bet would be to wait until 2.0 launches and the issue regarding powerful GFX cards will be corrected/addressed.

Good luck!

your budget + ffxiv = can't happen

your budget + ffxiv = low settings = ugly game = not worth the trouble

but it'll play d3 fine

for 700 bux you might be able to find something used check craigs list. id say ebay but laptops tend to sell high on there but on Craigslist might be able to find a deal.

i3/i5/i7 CPU
3gb + RAM
SSD if you can afford it
a good mobile GPU.

Not much to it.

Can probably pick up a use ASUS G73 for about $700 cdn if you look around. New they are about $1000 right now.

Few of my friends sold their G73 for about that price and upgraded to a G74

You should buy a desktop.
