What's a Good laptop that can run 14?

This game runs surprisingly well through a remote client. If your tech savvy enough to set one up, i recommend giving it a try before shelling out big bucks on a restrictive platform.

I have no idea what you mean by remote client. So i guess i'm not. lol

A Remote Client basically lets you access your primary computer from anywhere in the world from another PC like a laptop.
because your primary rig will be doing all the real work, you can pretty much use just about any computer with a decent net connection.

the game does have very minor input lag when running through RC, but it beats the hell out of spending $1800 on a machine that will be dated by the time it arrives on your door step.

need to spend big bucks on a i7 gen 2 with a nvidia 500 series graphics 2gb and you still wont be able to max the game out on a laptop, unless you get a top of the line alienware which which has more then any other laptop you can buy will run you way too much.
beware cooling in a laptop sucks and you may kill it before its time. i would guess the specs to run the game will be cut way down when 2.0 launches.

FFXIV runs very nicely on the Asus G74Sx. Its a solid system that can even play the game in 3D (which is totally worth it btw)...

Only spent $800 AU on a PC specifically to run this game (super awsm GTX360+RAM is capped and cooling optimized)

Wish this game would run on a laptop but its buggy enough on PC. Maybe 2.0???? *cross fingers*

Asus G74 laptop is what I recommend, plays the game really well and is not overpriced. Also can go to best buy and you can 18month for 0% financing on it as well. So if you cannot spend alot at once can break it down into $70-75 payments each month.

Not the best but for the price it will play the game very well. Cpu and Gpu both tend to only hit 58-62C when playing this game on a solid mid setting and for a laptop that is really on the coolside for a graphic intensive game.

I would avoid alienware completely honestly. The laptops are good but you are paying alot more for a name without really better parts or performance. I would take the increase in cost for the Alienware name and go somewhere else and buy a better laptop all together at the same cost.

If you have some money to spend a good Sager gaming laptop will be hard to beat, really powerful well built gaming laptops but it will cost you for it.

To crank the game to high on a laptop and play it really well... you are looking at $1800+ laptops.

Asus G73

Its the one I use. Medium to High settings. relatively cheap. Heavy as a toddler.


Addendum: Jesus CHRIST people $1500?!

Buy used. I got my G73 for $675 off the E'er bays

[Raubahn]

well i would suggest you get MSI G series and put an SSD in it
So basically yea MSI gt70 is a good choice and also GT680

my brother has MSI GT683 he can run XIV very smoothly On high res and you wont worry about Cooling pads since it has an extra fan inside Plus 1 button Overclock

I have no idea what people are talking about o,O'
The game is running just fine on a laptop! You don't need a desktop PC to run this game.

I use Sony Vaio which isn't even a gaming laptop but more cut out to be used for video editing and watching movies in HD, and I can still play the game on close to maximum setting without it taking away from the performance.
A friend of mine is using her Macbook which is as useless for gaming as it gets, and it still works just fine (lower settings though).
Laptops might need additional cooling though
