Considering this laptop for light gaming...

kiwi king · Mar 4, 2014

Hello!

I wanted to know if this laptop would meet my standards for laptop buying. Here's what I will be doing.

-Playing games (Team Fortress 2, Half Life 1 and 2, Portal 2, Minecraft [with tons of mods], and The Stanley Parable.

-Thickness/weight do not matter

-Does not need a DvD/CD drive

-Needs good Wi-Fi (802.11 n)

Also, I was curious if it would play Call of Duty Black Ops II at low/medium settings, because this video made me curious: http

Oh, and here's the laptop: http

Thanks in advance!

Can you suggest the best laptop for gaming (most graphically-intensive game I will play is Call of Duty Black Ops II) under $650? I was looking at this: http

I've seen it play Call of Duty and Battlefield 3 at decent settings. Would it be a good buy?

kiwi king :

i dont know where you have seen the benchmarks, but the card isnt capable of playing BF3.

Battlefield 3 (2011) low: 24.4 fps med.: 19.5 fps high: 16.9 fps

Let me lookup a laptop for you. Im assuming you live USA, so ill be looking US sites.

price is 699$ use coupon code 7CGSBDFTF3TNBR to get 60$ off.
it has 630M with DDR5 memory , so it is a little power full than 630m ddr3 version.So ull be okay with the games you wanted to play.

Let me know if you want me to look up another laptop.

this one has 740M 10-15% improvement over 630M. And it can play BF4 too.

But u have to sacrifice the ultrabook features in DELL.
