Default Help me choosing a Laptop for gaming!

As title says:

Help me choosing a laptop that's good for gaming (for example Guild Wars), and costs like 230.000 Hungarian Forints ($1=230HUF, which makes it ~100 bucks).

Thanks in advance,
daraaksii

Wait... you mean 1,000 USD? 100 would be...impossible.

Do you have a preference on sites you shop from?

230.000 means 230,000 over here (actually im canadian and we use spaces, i.e. 230 000 lol)
so yesh...$1000 usd, not $100

to be more accurate via google:
230,000 Hungarian forints = 993.37 U.S. dollars

You can't even get a Netbook for 100$, never mind a Gaming Laptop. Unless you save up at least 500$, you won't find anything I'm afraid. You might be lucky and get a second hand laptop on E-bay, but I doubt there'll be any for that price. Sorry. :S

EDIT: Oh right, 1000$, now we're talking business! I didn't bother re-calculating, doh! You can find something nice for that price already, I'll check what I can find.

honestly laptops are not very good at running games.

but if you really want a laptop. You will want a note book with dedicated graphics card. Like the 9600 gt. Integrated Intel graphics will not cut it.

Oups, sorry, $1000

The reason why I'm looking for a laptop is that I'm moving to a new university in the next semester, and I'll need it for my studies, also I can't carry a PC from my hometown to my underlease every weeks. It's just easier to buy a laptop.

Again, sorry 'bout the miscalculation

raw power, open box tho. shouldnt be a problem tho since newegg wouldnt put it back up for sale it if was thrashed.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16834220403R

little portability and power, as in it wont destroy ur battery life too bad.

sadly newegg only ships to north American addresses i believe so you would have to have some1 ship it to you from a NA address. good luck

ps i use a laptop for gaming, these two choices are both top notch, first should max pretty much any game no problem, second should run it on high setting pretty good (if not max) and if all else fails, it will run it very well on medium setting depending on the game.
