Need help buying laptop.

any 2.0ghz cpu w/ 4gb ddr2/3 ram can run 3 sessions - but it will lag a little w/ a duo core

so the one you're going with should be ok, but if you're going to game, you have to get a video card... u do not want intel graphics, they suck!

get a laptop with at least 512mb vid or 1gb vid

Also, Dell is always too overpriced; try hp or toshiba

also, they always include the 'windows' price and other crap in there w/ new items... don't pay for that stuff if u already have it!

it looks ok, but honestly i'd get something off of ebay or craigslist (local)

or even amazon - which is probably better than newegg

i personally like buying broken ones and fixing them, that's how I have 4 laptops... they cost me a total of $250 (for all 4 including parts)

the one he linked is pretty good. Also, from my opinion Newegg is WAY better then amazon as far as computer parts and technology goes. Anything you find off of Craigslist or Ebay will be sub-par and you will be dealing with having to wipe the drives / reformat and you will be dealing with worn out parts.

I would recommend exactly what kick said. Any laptop with a 2.0+ or even a I5+ CPU with a 1gb GPU will do fine and easily run 3 sessions. If you have the money, buy it off newegg. But if you want to skip corners and deal with problems but save money then buy a "fixer-uper".


Here is one that is similar to what I have. Its pretty good and runs WoW at a easy 60+ fps --

Newegg.com - ASUS K53SV-DH51 Notebook Intel Core i5 2430M(2.40GHz) 15.6" 6GB Memory DDR3 640GB HDD 5400rpm DL DVD?RW/CD-RW NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M

whatever you do. get at least 8gb of ram.. trust me i just got a new laptop and went from 4gb of ram to 8.. and I'm running 4 bots atm with low settings and each are at 30fps. heck i can even control the character through team viewer. and i'm at around 4gb of ram usage running all of those.
 
unless people own the hardware, there is no site that ranks hardware based on wow sessions, so stop asking.
