I'm looking to buy a laptop by September 1st as I need one for school. But I would also like it to be a good gaming system as well that can play games for the next couple years on good settings. From my research, I see that the 460, 480, and 485m are good cards (especially sli). Still, the non sli settings seem to only reach decent results on games like crysis. I know that laptops won't be able to reach the performance of desktop computers but I would still like to get close.
If I am buying after the summer, what technology will have changed? Will there be a 585m card out there that surpasses the 485m? Will any of the mobile cards surpass the performance of the gtx 480 desktop gpu any time soon?
My price range will be around $1500. I do need to have a laptop by September but i could possibly wait until the holidays if it would be smarter to buy one then.
Any advice?
