That's futurecraft. I'm talking about games without whatever optimizations you plan to add.

I know there is no way I am gonna be playing BF3, or even Skyrim, I intend to play older games.

Also, I get really mad when I do the Can you run it? from system requirements lab, and my processor checks out A-ok on everything, and the piece of defecation integrated graphics are the only problem I am going to have.

I have a core 2 duo 2.2 GHz

Older games, well maybe not older but less intensive=

Valve games

Fallout 3, Fallout NV

Civ 5

SOASE

Others I choose




If I want to play newer more graphic intense games I will get them for Xbox. I have already played the Fallouts, but mods are amazing for them.

I felt the same way about my big ole 17.3 inch Intel laptop equipped with the craptastic GMAHD. Then I got this one and it dawned on me that both components are crucial to a pleasurable gaming experience. If I had the raw CPU power of my Acer's i3, and the epicness of this laptop's Radeon HD 6320, I'd be one happy man. But alas, they are two machines. The lappie you picked should be perfect, for the most part.

Can you not just take one part out and place it in the other? Or make your own machine?

If they were conventional computers, yes. These are laptops, and APUs at that. You'd need an industry-grade degree in hardware engineering to even consider trying to weld them together without any severe damage..

Desktops are the ideal gaming platform, but laptops offer a ton of advantages over them.

Have to say, I'm bias toward laptop because mine's served me so well over the years. And I can recline while typing. That's a big plus.

Desktops are the best. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I have a desk with a sliding-out platform for my mouse and keyboard, multiple monitors, and a reclining chair!

Our only difference is I put my laptop where the keyboard is. In fact, the keyboard's right behind it. I think.

You're so lucky the internet stopped working before I got a chance to reply to that comment, as it gave you an extra 8 hours to live. Now, die for your blasphemy!
