| binary solo said: I'm considering a post Christmas sale for a laptop that I would like to be capable of playing games at medium to low settings. I'm not after a gaming laptop, but I don;t want a dog that won't be able to play any recent titles. I don't know the exact specs as the ad is only on TV and I haven't taken note of all the spec. But what I've spied so far is i7 2GHz CPU, Nvidia Geforce 840M 2GB graphics card. I didn't see main RAM but I'm guess it'll be DDR3 whatever it is. List price is $1250NZD ($962US, GBP625), special price is $750NZD ($577USD, GBP375). So it's a big price reduction, but is it going to meet my expectations? My expoectations aren't for amazing gaming performance, just need it to be good enough to run games at a reasonable and consistent frame rate. I didn't catch the brand, but I think it may be HP. |
The GPU is pretty basic. It's pretty much starter level. It'll be low setting graphic quality for some games. Newer ones it probably won't be able to run very well at all.
Likely 6 or 8 GB of RAM, either will be sufficient.
The CPU isn't bad, but with lowish clock speed, for some games that have built in spec analysis, they might now allow the game to run. Should be fine though.
Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.
