Some advice please

[Agent Larkin]

Ok this one is directed mainly at my Irish Escapist brethren but I will accept advice from anyone else on the matter.

Can you please suggest a good gaming laptop at a low price? Links and such would be appreciated and any non-Irish among you remember the exchange rate.

Umm. Not irish (sorry). But may I ask why a laptop?

Easier to move around then a desktop.

Of course, but you are going to less bang for your buck with a lappie and get stuck with being unable to scale it up as much as you want in the future. A decent gaming laptop is gonna cost a bundle, no convinced you will get a satisfying result if you try to do it on the cheap.

Also, wait until after Xmas if you can.

I can't get it until June anyway.

Give a few examples of the pc games you might want to play on it?

Battlefield 2
Empire Total War

I can't think of anything else to throw in.

I'm from the UK so I'm guessing the laptop market in Ireland is pretty similar.

I was looking to buy a gaming laptop 2 months ago. For the type of games you wanna play , you're looking at a few thousand pounds or Euros for you I guess.

Look at the chart in the link. When you see a laptop you like, find the gpu and see what the frame rate for it is on games that you like. If it's acceptable and the laptop is in your price range then you're all set.

a good gaming laptop at a low price doesn't exist. for what most people consider a good gaming laptop, you have to pay a lot of money for it

Try to catch the January sales, if at all possible. May take as much as 200euro of the price.

A low price laptop that can play Empire Total War?

Heh.
