Laptop for a bit of gaming? What specs?

Bedford · 21st October 2007, 12:25 PM

Hey guys
What kind of specs should I be looking at for a laptop that's good for gaming. It doesn't need to be a beast of a machine, just something sufficient

I probably won't even play that many games, I just want to be able to if I feel the urge.
My pc at the moment has a 6600gt and that doesn't seem too bad.

Any suggestions on what I should be looking for?

Yeah im looking for something similar.
Any ideas on what the 6800GT, 2.0ghz, 1 gig DDR, 15.4 inch, 160gig HDD will cost.
Does that sound ok to run games at a decent FPS?

grabs yourselves 8600GT Go's, and they should last a couple of years

Asus A8SC.

Perfect in terms of size (14in) where you can carry it everywhere you want without breaking a shoulder

, and it'll play games effortlessly. Although it only has a 8400go, it is more than enough for that resolution. Been playing a bit of WIC on one and it was flawless!

Or you could get a XPS1330

Asus G1S is nice. Anything with a 8000 series video card will meet your requirements generally.
