Hello irishpride1919;

Are these pretty close to the Diablo III Recommended Specs you want?
http/www.diablowiki.net/Diablo_III_System_Requirements#PC_Recommended_Specifications:
To match a desktop 8800 GTX / Radeon HD 3870 you'll need a laptop graphics card GeForce GT 445M / Mobility Radeon HD 5850 or better.

Your $650 budget won't cover that type of graphics card to get high graphics settings.

Thank you so much for your reply's WR2. Do you have an idea on what it would cost in order to get a laptop capable of running Diabo 3 on medium settings?
I think I could find the extra cash if it isn't to much more.
