Buying a laptop (in Danish) HELP!

[Visionaire]

Siden jeg køber fra en dansk hjemmeside og har copy pastet derfra, så bliver det her lige på dansk. Skal have en ny bærbar, men er på (stramt) budget. Tænkte jeg ligeså godt kunne prøve at finde en, der kan køre World of Warcraft. Fandt den her på TDCs hjemmeside til 6999kr, men aner ikke så frygtelig meget om computere, så... hvad synes i?

And if any of you english speaking folks happen to wander in here, feel free to look through the data below and explain to me (if you understand it all) if a computer like that would be able to run world of warcraft (or newer games in general).

The Geforce FX5200 might a bit too light to run the game smoothly (not talking about IF :p ) and you'll need at least 1024 RAM.

First, and foremost...Dont buy a laptop to play WoW on (Yes, I speak from experience).

should you still go ahead and get a laptop to play on, there are a few things.

As Peete said, Get atleast 1gb ram, and get something better than FX5200 (the early FX cards are...well...very very bad compared to ATI Radeon).

that being said, I should explain why I say, never get a laptop to play on.

The laptop that we have is faster than the one you listed, running a ATI Radeon 9600 Mobile with 128mb not shared video ram, and its still not perfoming up to par. After a few weeks of play, it will start to run you slower than anyone else (actual ingame runspeed, meaning, if you /follow someone for a straight line, you will eventually fall so far behing that you lose /follow).

WoW also pushes the machines resources very hard, so hard that the machine runs very very hot (and hence has been to the repair shop 4 times because of heat damage). The strange thing is that only gaming runs is that hot.

so basicaly, for your own sanity, get a stationary PC instead to game on.

i dont think the geforce FX go5200 is a normal geforce, i think its some kind of special laptop geforce. dont know how good it is compared to normal graphic cards though.

found another comp, which seems to be better, but it still only has 512 ram, but the graphic card is a 128 MB ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M... any good?

:confused: :confused:

512 works
ram = the amount of data your computer can handle in a bunch, sort of speak.

The more ram you got, the more information you can "store for a short while" which makes it easier to render images and so on (feel free to correct me here quinn or similar people =)

anyway, 512 will be fine in normal areas, but you will be having hell on earth in IF and orgrimmar =)

Not sure if that Semp Processor will be up to all that much.

As long as you go for a top of the line model heat and speed is not a problem.

You should be looking at £1500 for a decent laptop, also buy brand names and if you really want a game laptop buy thr ALienware one or Dells new Mobile Games laptop.

I just dont think those cheaper latops are worth it unless you want to use excel and word alot.
