Gaming Laptop
« on: December 07, 2012, 07:12:50 pm »
I'm fed up with the laptop I have as it's a piece of scrap metal! Now even in League of Legends I am lagging as hell after the new update.

I am not totally newbie when it comes to computers, but the requirements for the games are not my specialty.

So I want to buy a new laptop up to 500 pounds for gaming purposes.

The current laptop I have has:

Processor: Intel(R) Core (TM) 2 Due CPU T5450 @ 1.66 GHz 1.67 GHz
RAM: 2GB
System type: Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit
Rating: 4 Windows Experience Index
Storage: 101GB
Display Adapters: ATI Radeon Xpress 1200 series

So can anyone who has the knowledge tell me what should I exactly be looking for when getting new laptop for gaming purposes like LoL, CS 1.6, Skyrim, CS GO etc games like that.
As on CS I am experiencing fps drops which really affects my gameplay, I wish I had stable 60fps on DD2 or Public, but I get 50 which is jumping to 30 and less when I look at other player models.
In JB with 8+ T as if I am commanding officer I have to look down on my feet when I talk in microphone so as avoiding lag as my fps drops to 5-10fps.
I have been putting up with this for a long time, but I can finally say that's it, I want upgrades, I want to own hard and achieve good gaming experience.

Also Vista is really bad choise of windows system it makes the PC performance slower windows 7 is the best so far.About the PC why laptop? Im with gaming laptop but it isnt better than the normal gaming computer.If you need it for games only get a PC.

for gaming i recommend windows xp because on windows xp it makes you use the cpu less .. on windows 7 the windows uses the cpu too much which makes u lag

i  bet u will have a lower ping on xp than any other windows (TESTED)

the best solution for above is to download "Razer Game Booster" and launch cs from it ... my fps used to be 10-30 and now its up to 100 :) it kills the media servers and unused services.
