best gaming laptops mac image
(no name)
I realize that "gaming laptop" is like an oxy moron but I don't have room for a desktop. What should I look for when buying a laptop. The one I have now lags so hard its ridiculous. I need it to be capable for MInecraft, C&C, Civilization, maybe sims. So nothing that crazy as far as gaming goes.If you have any specific suggestions that would be great.
For example what should I have (minimum) processor, graphics card, RAM, etc...
Thanks
Answer
It would be nice to know your price range, I could make a pretty solid recommendation, but i'll do my best in directing you to a good computer.
Two things to stay away from if you want a gaming laptop.
1) Mac's. They are wayy too overpriced for what they have to offer.
2) Alienware. Sure they are great gaming computers, but they break easy, and they are overpriced as well.
Processor:
I reccommend an Intel i5 or higher (i7 would be best)
anything above about 2.8Ghz is good, above 3.0 is ideal.
Graphics Card:
Nvidia GeForce is a good line of graphics cards, 1GB is good.
RAM:
Anything 4GB or higher.
I recommend any XPS laptop from Dell.

Would a Mac be able to handle and run skyrim alright?

More specifically, a Mac laptop. I don't no much about gaming laptops so if another kind would be better and cheaper that would be great.
Thanks Elcu, do you have any suggestions?
Answer
if you want a computer to run games, do NOT get a Mac. they are overpriced and will not run games well, and to even run most games, it requires you to dual boot or use parallels, which will be even more expensive.
if you want to seriously get into PC gaming, its best to build your system yourself, though if you dont have any knowledge of computer parts or building, then a high end pre-built computer will be fine for most gaming, though you will be ripped off for the parts inside and will have little say in what goes inside your computer as well.
if you want a laptop that is Gaming capable, then get a high end laptop, try to avoid the trap of "gaming laptops" as they usually charge 2x as much for the same exact parts as some of their higher end normal laptops. the moment computer building companies label the computer a "gaming computer" they automatically put at least a 50% price hike on the parts to take advantage of PC gamers that dont know anything about building computers.
