  eMachines Laptop 15.6" Black With Windows 7 Home Premium - Walmart.com
  
  Is it worth getting as a birthday present?
  
  Is it good enough to run games on?
  
  Can I run Sims 3 on it?
  
  Basically, can it run things good?

  Yeah can we find out a good cheap lap top that can run most online games?

  I was being sarcastic. I really need a lap top of my own. This is my mom's lap top and it sucks so badly. I'm surprised it can run Mabi. I really want an affordable lap top my parents can buy for me on christmas, that I can game on.

  I dont wanna run Sims 3, I wanna run Vindictus at a reasonable setting.

  I don't think that would run it very good at all. :x

  This is Xiya's thread. Wait for more recommendations from other people or make your own thread. Don't hijack hers. Also Sims 3 is more demanding then Vindictus IMO, so most likely if there is a laptop that can play Sims 3 it can also play Vindi.

  You don't want this for gaming, but at the same time you're being offered a freaking laptop for a birthday.
  I'd take it in a heart beat, my parents never bought me anything worth more than 10 bucks.

  Why waste space and make another thread xD whatever though he's looking for the same thing I am so I'll just wait.

  Finding a laptop that is able to run Video games good maybe hard to do with a tight budget.

  Which is what I was hoping you would do. :P
  I just presented you both options.
  Xiya is also a she, btw.

  You want to have around 700 dollars or more for a gaming laptop.
  I found one for 600 last year in black friday, but that was a serious exception.
• Shirayuki wrote on 2010-11-25 18:25
  Yeah, laptops able to run games usually cost 500+, and to be able to run games well, they usually cost ~800. Maybe less since its Black Friday.
• Cucurbita wrote on 2010-11-25 18:40
  Depends on what you're going for.
  Mabinogi, I could easily find one that runs fine at around 500 dollars.
  
  Vindickus, we'd need to look around 700 to run it.
  
  To be able to run a game like Vindickus in good quality, and use features like video record, you're probably looking at around a thousand dollars. A desktop of 600 dollars could do the same though, so its always more useful to get a desktop for gaming and multimedia while you keep a laptop for work, school, and internet.
• Shirayuki wrote on 2010-11-25 18:43
  Yeah, I honestly use my laptop purely for Skype and schoolwork, and use my desktop(which cost ~350) for gaming. And it can run Vindickus(at 30 fps D:).

  Thing is I can't get a long enough wire for the ethernet cable. and im not a fan of desktops with wireless connections.
