    Laptop for gaming, but not a gaming laptop

    I am looking for a laptop that can handle games like SWtoR/WoW - it doesn't have to be ULTRA settings. The plan is to have a powerful desktop to play games with, but on boring trips I would like a laptop to be able to play a little.

    The laptops I think I have narrowed it down to have the following specs:


    (1) Cost: $542
    CPU: i3-370M
    GPU: NVIDIA 1GB GeForce GT 520M

    (2) Cost: $644
    CPU: i3-2330M
    GPU: Radeon 1GB 6770M

    (3) Cost: $668
    CPU: A6-3400M
    GPU: Radeon 1GB 6750M


    What can one expect from this list? Barely scraping by on the lowest settings? Medium settings?


    Thank you for your time and any comments/suggestions!

    Out of those three the best purchase would be the i3 2330M / Radeon HD6770M. Has the best combination of GPU/CPU out of the three and well also comes in at a nice price. In WoW you can expect to play on high / ultra with shadows turned off and AA + AF at 2X or lower. SW:ToR isn't out yet so I can't tell ya how it would fair, I imagine it would run at medium well but hey don't know because I'm not playing it at the moment.

    Definitely the 2nd one no doubt. Good deal too.
    If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One... now I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds.
