Running with a dual-core 3Ghz processor. 8 Gigs of RAM. With some ATI 5000 series graphics card. Very low end these days, bought at a low student-budget some years back. Still runs all the games though. Playing a lot of Dota 2, some TF2, a little bit of CS. I also play a lot of single-player games. My three most recent favorites are Deus Ex: HR, Alice: Madness Returns and Bioshock. Used to play a lot of Diablo 3, but Blizzard really disappointed me with that title. Can be found on Steam under the name of Proxymate. You can freely join the yoyoexpert group on Steam and chat to me from there. Would be cool to play with some of you guys sometime. ---

> [@mozartm99](#): > > What s an affordable gaming laptop? I have never had one and don’t know any of the “good brands”. “Gaming laptop” is a bit of an oxymoron, really, do you have to have a laptop? I’d recommend building a desktop. That being said, I don’t know much about laptops (I’m actually a big fan of macbooks, don’t hate) or at least top-of-the-line models. I can tell you that price to performance, laptops will be miles behind desktops. Only recommendation I can give off the top of my head is the Doghouse Systems Mobius, I’ve heard some great things about it. ---

@mozart: id go with asus or msi for gaming laptop. If you’re thinking about getting into alienware…well just go build a desktop. I understand mobility and all but for power and maxing out games, id choose a desktop. I wouldn’t mind buying a $500-$800 gaming laptop or multimedia laptop that can game real well, but for brute power, id build a desktop. Recently I bought a asus N53SV. It sports an intel i5 2410m (dual core that’s hyperthreaded), nvidia geforce gt 540m w/1gddr3 vram, 8gb ram, 640gb hdd, 15.6" (1366x768 w/nvidia optimus technology) lcd and a 8 cell battery (up to 4hrs). I bought this on ebay for $500 and it will max out all the CoD games (except on BO2 I can’t run any shadows or fxaa). It can play bfe on low-medium settings with strong fps (if I drop the resolution to 1280x720, I can play medium-high at strong fps). I can play farcry 3 on medium-high. Its not brutally strong, but it will let me enjoy games on the go. If I were to go for strenght, id do a desktop. I’m on the search to find a laptop that will max out skyrim, farcry 3, and bf3. I am looking to spend $1500 or less. So, I’ve seen asus’ and msi’s lineup and I like them better than alienware or origin or any of those others. ---
