the alienware m11x i heard is alright and should do what you ask but a couple draw backs are it doesn't have a cd drive so you might have to buy like a 20 doller external one but yea

go their and you can bassically make your own and it'll tell you the price but the starting prices are 799 with a core 2 duo and 949 for either a core i5 or i7

p.s my friend has a M11X and he plays starcraft 2 bassically max settings

 

[dasasher]

yeah i was looking at the M11x B/c my aunt can get me a discount on any dell laptop i think
and did your friend get the 799 or 949

 

[Mithness]

im not completely sure, i think he got the core 2 duo becuase he didnt say anything about paying a 1000 dollers so yea, and how much of a discount?

 

[dasasher]

i not sure
but i think i found a better deal

or you could get the Acer Extensa because theres a range in the Acer colection i have a Extensa 5235 it only cost around 300-400 so get a Acer Extensa Series Laptop they have compatibility mode because i have gtasa for vista and i looked on the compatibility mode i selected Vista service pack 2 so a Windows 7 Acer Extensa wouldent be a bad option.

 

[gta_sa moder]

and all the games you mentioned work on my Extensa so try one from Acer

 

[Mithness]

yes but i really doubt it has a dedicated video card i used to have an acer aspire 5517 and it had a ati radeon hd 3200, and i looked up your laptop it has a gma 4500m which is worst than a radeon hd 3200 and thats not good either i'd just go with either a 800 doller laptop or an alienware one

 

[dasasher]

ok sounds good
ill just keep saving for the m11x

 

[Mithness]

i mean if you don't want to keep wait theirs other laptops that are still pretty good go here www.newegg.com and look and heres an example 799.99 plus shipping for a core i3 with an ati radeon mobility 5470
