MMO-Champion
Hey guys. im going to 4 year after this semester and i need to buy a laptop. the only games i would want to play are WoW and LoL. i have no problem running them at min specs but i would like to have decent frame rate. the only thing i am worried about is the video card requirements. if i buy a laptop with a video card it will probably be out of my price range. do any manufacturer have better then average integrated video or am i screwed? i plan on buying one from microcenter because they always seem to be the cheapest.

Lenovo's Y500 series seems to be best value for money on low/mid range laptops when you need to work with it too, prices start from ~$600. Just make sure to pick a model with discrete graphics too, not only integrated Intel chip.

also i would like to avoid asus. i had a g71gx that broke at least 6 times; from the screen, to the plug in port, mother board, ect. i had full warranty but the pain of having a machine that wont work left a bad taste in my mouth.

Don't expect anything amazing at that price range for a laptop running WoW - I do not know how well it would perform but it's on sale.

That should technically even play games like gw2 and maybe even black ops 2 on the lowest settings. Not saying black ops would be playable but it would run? Originally Posted by Toffie

Can you make it 650$? does this budget include tax and shipping?
You can get some nice laptops for 650$[/URL] - Samsung NP350V3C and the Acer V3 both with good gaming performance for the money:
