Need help finding a Lap top
Quote:
This isn't going to cut it. I don't know what kind of frame rate you would get, but it wouldn't be pleasant. This model isn't made for gaming. Especially not for CoH.
Hi all just looking for some friendly advice on a good lap top for playing COH (It will be used for work stuff as well but thats just normal reports and spreadsheets) that won't be more than 1,000 max. I saw the one below on Tiger Direct (never dealt with them before but they seem to have good reviews) for $799 and I'm wondering if this may be a good way to go.

According to this chart:
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Compari...rds.130.0.html
the 130M is a mid-range card, which generally means that it will run CoH well enough, though probably not with all the settings maxed out. I recently bought a laptop with an ATI 4570, which is lower down in the same group of cards, and it runs CoH surprisingly well.
Fryguy, it used to be much easier to tell how powerful a card is just from the model number, but as Father Xmas pointed out to me a few weeks ago, the NVIDIA model numbers are no longer so informative.
