Laptop - Bat - 11-06-2009 04:41 AM
So, I'm getting another laptop and wanted to know what you guys thought about it...I'm pretty confident it will run The Sims 3 without any problems, but just wanted some other opinions (really concerned most about the graphics)...

The 4650 is more for media enterntainment; than gaming. Is it a customizable laptop? If so, no need for a 2 GHz quad core, lower it to a 2.5+GHz dual-core, and get a better graphics like 4830, 4850, 4870 or 4860.
Try this laptop for example:
