ArchTyrian Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) Will it run? Yes. Is there such thing as a gaming laptop. Debatable. Maybe this http://www.razerzone.com/blade. Edited March 28, 2012 by ArchTyrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elladan Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) Yes, you should be fine even at High settings if you turn Shadows off. At max resolution you'll be pushing the graphics card though. Edited March 28, 2012 by Elladan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paincakezz Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 Would you reccomed it over an i5 alienware mx11 r3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elladan Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 No, that screen is too small for the resolution or for gaming in general. Even the 15.6" screen will have very small fonts when you run it at max resolution. And you pay a premium for the Alienware name as well. Not worth it.

Harden Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 You would be better off getting a Desktop PC for the same price probably. But i am not sure what they have over in Euro area since i live in the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
