Uggh, Not a tech head at all..... How much is this laptop in question? Buying a branded computer thats "good" generaly cost anywhere between $1000- $1200 USD. And even then they sometimes have the audacity to not include a dedicated GPU

Can build a system for about $700

No and No

Detailed I have no idea what Lucius is, but it won't run BF3, maybe it might run BF2 though.

And no, usually laptops cannot receive GPU upgrades.

simmons33: Ok and its only £279, he said i could get an expensive one if needed, so ill probably do that (in dollars its $450)

cliffro: alright, lucius is a devil game and ahh dont they? ill probably get a new laptop then haha
