Laptop for LOL

Paladone · Dec 28, 2012, 11:31 AM

Hey guys, my friend is buying a laptop for gaming. He would like to be able to play games like LOL and COD at Fair-Good settings. My thoughts where that it would be able to run them quite well, but here is the computer, what do you think? http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/compu...y-scoop/678025

Edit: His budget is $850 Max

Your Best bet is to go instore, you can get some pretty good deals cut there, but do your research before hand, it's always good to know more then the staff, jbhifi hire's people with no idea about anything, never ask for advice, but always push the price down, maybe try and bundle a new mouse/keyboard in. Personally I do not like Acer's. But this one looks pretty good, it should handle LoL and COD fine, although the screen resolution is a bit low, but that will warrant better performance. That may be an online only deal though.

If there is a Harvey Norman near you, go in there, I was recently there, and they are having massive christmas/end of year laptop sales, and the staff actually know something.

Also, where in Australia are you?

It is a very demanding task, and very important.

My envy 13 plays it brilliantly at 1080p. Anything with a >HD4330m Will play it maxed out

What exactly is LOL?

Upon looking around, the 640 looks like your best bet. I did find a 660 here in the US for $899 that could get pretty close to maxing everything out.

League of Legends, it's a game

LoL nad maybe COD have pretty low system requirements, almost every modern PC can run it from my experience.

and I can't access the link.
