Forum:New Laptop

I want to buy a new laptop within the next week or so that will be able to play Fall Out New Vegas on medium detail settings.

Can you guys suggest a cheaper laptop that will be able to play the game or least tell me what I should look for?

I am not very knowledable about computers. I have been playing Fallout 3 on my desktop so far.

If you're looking for a gaming computer, don't look for a laptop. Also don't buy a Dell (even a XPS or Alienware-line model). Your best bet is a custom desktop from a local computer store. Many of them can also do custom laptops, if you're dead-set on one. Kris  mailbox  19:30, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

Whatever you do, don't trust the Geek Squad at Best Buy. They're not even geeks. On second thought, don't even trust Mom & Pop's Generic Computer Shack. If you don't know much about computers, they'll eat you alive. Best thing to do is look at the system requirements for Fallout 3, and raise the bar a little (Since they use the same engine and graphics). You're really just better off spending a few hundred for a new graphics card and 4GB RAM in your desktop, rather than potentially burning several thousand dollars on an inevitably obsolete piece.
