Recommended laptops for light games?

anoori9000 · Aug 13, 2014

Hello!

I already got my beast computer (4690K @4.4, GTX 770)

I really want a nice laptop that can play dota 2 at good settings smoothly when i go to a friends house. He also has a desktop that i built him, so we cant easily travel with our computers.

Any recommendations would be nice.

I dont need it to be huge, just not small. 1080p Preferred.
Budget: Under $550 USD

Edit: Refurbished is fine too

This one will do. It has and i5 and gt 840 combo making it awesome for light gaming.
Here is a great deal on the Acer Aspire V3-572G-54S6 Notebook Intel Core i5 4210U (1.70GHz) 8GB DDR3L Memory 1TB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GT 840M 15.6" Windows 8.1 , http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=34-314-535

Here is a laptop that is $500 now but its on sale so you better act soon. http://www.amazon.com/Pavilion-17-3-Laptop-Computer-Quad-Core/dp/B00F7TQ3Z0/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1388077926&sr=1-2&keywords=amd+a8+laptop . It has a GPU so you should have o problem running Dota 2 and if even record it if you're into that stuff.

Thanks, but i think that 1366 x 768 kinda kills the effect of an 840. any opinions on that?

Is this any good? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Asus-Q501LA-BSI5T19-15-6-1920x1080-IPS-Touch-Screen-Intel-Core-i5-4200U/311042303105?pt=Laptops_Nov05&hash=item486b90e481

It doesn't seem to have a GPU which will severely bottleneck your performance. It also has a slow HDD. It's also not worth getting 1080p at such a low budget.

But im worried i'll notice it a lot because im so used to 1080P ultra...

anoori9000 · Aug 13, 2014

Could I add any ddr3 ram to the HP one?

ak47jar3d · Aug 13, 2014

No. It's more detail in lessee resolution. Anyways, a gt 840 would be reduced to medium in most games at 1080p.

You will notice it no matter what, but you will get used to it pretty fast (even though you might not like it)

I think I might go with the HP on amazon. $450 dollars is a great price. Could i add regular desktop DDR3 memory to it?

My old Sony Vaio laptio has a 330M and a i5 520M

Sadly no you can't. But 4gb is enough for Dota 2 and most other games. Have fun

flamefire999 :

Would you get a used laptop ?
Reason why I asked is that you could get a far better used gaming laptop for that price than a new or refurnished,
