Buying A New Laptop

Recommended Posts

I'm getting a new laptop (not PC) as a college gift and I don't know that much about computers. Sure I know how to use them but my old laptop was a crappy Toshiba which can't run any game, literally. No ones sure whether or not gtav will be for PC, but just incase does anyone know a good computer that would be able to run it just incase it came out for PC. Or any good PC in general that can run modern games? Remember a laptop not PC, Thanks

I've bought Dell Inspiron 15R-5521 one months ago.

 

If you want to play modern games nicely, I have to recommend it. It's the cheap gaming entry laptop with stunning specifications. smile.gif

I'd like to recommend this laptop if you want to play most of the modern games. The Stunning fact is it is Core i7 and have 8GB DDR3 RAM!!! But you can't just run your games in "Ultra" Settings. sad.gif But I am sure that it can run most of the games in "High" or "Medium" settings. (Tested: Dishonored, Bioshock Infinite, Black Ops, ACIII, Mafia II and many many more)

 

The screen resolution is reduced. Most 15.6 inches sized laptops contain 1920x1200 Resolution while this laptop contains only 1366x768 resolution (this is found in most 14 inches Laptops). But nah, just join this laptop with HDMI cable to TV. You'll blow out!

 

Needless to say, this is the best buget gaming Laptop I've ever bought. You'll be pleased at first sight.

 

Weight is about 2kg. It'll easily fit in your bags. smile.gif

 

Here's pros and cons in conclusion:

 

Pros: Processor Power (i7 with turbo boost to 3.1 GHz), 8GB DDR3 RAM (Smoothie!), 4 Colors available, cheap, having enormous storage will let you store many Video Games!!, Large sized screen

 

Cons: Little lag when setting game graphic settings to (High or Very High), Resolution is reduced, Keys are soft confused.gif

 

Either way, I suggest this will be the best Laptop you'll ever have. icon14.gif
