[QUOTE="moonshine, post: 190191, member: 121"] I'm planning on getting a new decent multi-purpose laptop (multimedia and gaming) this coming month and I'm sort of in a budget. This is the best laptop that suits my needs and budget ATM. What do you guys think of it? Both the CPU and GPU might be a bottleneck in game performance considering the low clock speeds. Will it be enough to game in 1366 X 768 with High, Ultra or Medium settings? An FPS of 30 and above would be ideal.
