Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone, I was interested in buying a laptop that I could take to college and home. Because I have to have it portable, desktops are not in the category. I was doing some research and found this laptop that was in the $920-950 range. I don’t need a powerhouse, just something I can casually play on. Because of my studies at college, I cannot play long periods of time anyways. Here was the laptop:

First consideration:

Second Consideration (“newer” version of the above):

3rd Consideration:

I would say other considerations would be the MSI laptops but they range $1000-1200 and I wouldn’t want to spend that much.

If I could get some good answers I would really appreciate it… thank you!

First one has the weakest GPU. Half as powerful as the 750m in the other two.

The second one has the best CPU of the remaining two. About 5-10% faster than the third one.

So on the surface I would say the second one.

I highly suggest getting an HP DV6 with a APU and the discrete/dedicated HD7690M.

You can get them used/refurb on ebay for 350 shipped.
with a little tweaking, and some CPU Core Locking (there is a windows program for it) you can get 50-70FPS easily on that laptop.

IMHO primarily gaming on a laptop isn’t good for your health. Esp if you use the laptop on your ‘lap’ most of the time. The heat from the machine can damage your skin and the veins under your skin.

I would rather put 350 in a ‘decent/OK’ Laptop that can play games, then put the rest into a good Desktop. And use the Laptop while traveling/out and about, rather then putting 1k into a gaming laptop.

But thats me.

Have you got a good gaming desktop at home already ?
