computer help!

[Sargantas]

Hey, i'm trying to find a computer to buy that can play SWTOR. My current computer will load the game but i lag to the point i can't move. I'm wondering what is the lowest graphics card i can get that will play the game on medium graphics with no lag. To answer the question a desktop is not possible as i travel with my computer constantly. I was looking at a compuer from bestbuy for $711.00. Any advice is helpful please.
