    Buying s laptop for WOD

    Hi I want to buy a laptop for WOD. My budget is around 700$. I would be happy to play on high settings without lag, I don't need ultra. Could you guys recommend me a few models? And also which should I focus more on I5 or I7, 4G or 8G RAM or graphics card? Thanks a lot guys

    Ummmm, idk that's a low budget. You would need like 3 times that for a solid gaming laptop.

    i7 Is overkill for gaming, save yourself the money. i5... pretty good choice (high end). 8GB Is kinda normal by today's standards, so yh 8GB as well. About a mobile GFX card... I don't have that much knowledge about them mobile things. Just see what you can get and list them here.

    You might want to note that mobile i5 processors are more like desktop i3 processors. Mobile i5 is dual-core-only.

    I don't think $700 will get you anything that doesn't have Intel graphics, which suck. The cheapest models I can find with real graphics are over $900.
