Picking a Laptop

Post » Sun Dec 26, 2010 7:10 am

Hey I'm not super computer savvy so I was looking at computers, laptops preferably, I originally saw that the Alienware mx11 was on sale and thought about that one but a community I'm part of recommended this one...

http://www.amazon.com/Acer-AS5552G-7632-15-6-Inch-Laptop-Black/dp/B004G60ARC/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t

Now the first obvious question is, can it run Oblivion? In which I have no doubt in my mind it can but yea.

Secondly, what other games can I play on this. (I'd compare the specs but I don't really know whats good and whats not)

I read a bunch of the reviews and people have been saying its a great machine and they can run most games (Crysis, Team Fortress, Sims 3) on High with very few problems.


Also if you guys have any other recommendations for a computer my budget currently is anywhere up to about $600ish.

Yes it will run this game.

Other games? It'll play Fallout 3 and FNV reasonably well. Pretty much all games will run on it...newer and more intense games may put you down near the medium levels, but still rather playable.

The price for the hardware is excellent. However, I'm not a big Acer fan when it comes to notebooks...they tend to cheap out in other things like cooling and exterior build quality. You can expect tons of bloatware to be installed too. However, the reviews for this one has been quite positive so far. You're probably not going to find anything better for that price brand new.
