 |
|
Hey guys,
I'm been surfing the internet to determine what laptop is a great deal to buy for Starcraft 2. I found a laptop at E-Mart for 1.1. Its the R570-U
4GB
NVIDIA Geforce 335m 1024MB
320BGB
39.6cm
10/100 LAN 300Mbps
Intel Pentium Dual Core P6000 1.86Ghz 3MB
*What do you think about this laptop. I'm going to work on it but my main concern is will this laptop play Starcraft II with no lag. The guys at the store assured me it would.... |

Lagfree on low, maybe medium settings. I have a higher spec laptop (6GB RAM, GTX 285M video and Core i7 820QM) and it starts lagging on high when a few dozens characters are on screen

Definitely get a better one. Also, don't buy at E-Mart. Their selection and AS are horrible.
Starcraft is CPU-intensive, not-so-much GPU from what I've read. I just read where a guy with a Q8200 @ 2.5 was getting CPU-limited. Your 1.86 would definitely get it too.
Look for a good C2D 3GHz or an i3/5 with a higher clockspeed. |

| I am lag free in the PC-Bang, but I can see if you want the laptop for the English version |

| I was playing on a core i7 4gb ram and one of the newer notebook gpus. Everything is great until the screen is covered in carriers, which actually rarely happened. Graphics settings turned down may have solved that problem. |

Interesting.
I have an AMD X2 7850 Processor
ATI HD 4670
3GB of RAM
I can run everything on high except for complex shadows and I don't lag. |

| I'm playing on a 2009 17 inch Macbook Pro, 4GB ram, SSD. I have everything on medium settings, sometimes high, and it's fine. It got laggy when I put everything to the max. Made me feel like my computer wasn't as awesome as I thought it was. |
