Help on Deciding Laptop for ArmA 3


Hey Guys,

As Christmas is coming up and I have a bit of cash to spend on a laptop, I need some help on deciding what to get. After reading up on laptops as I've only ever stuck to desktop PC'S, I've basically gathered that anything with a HP or Dell sticker isn't good for gaming in general due to cooling issues. But, there's such a range of laptops, I don't know what to get. I'm generally looking at MSI.

Any of you TechGods got any laptops under £800 that can run A3 well/okay? Any suggestions?

I agree with Dwayne. If gaming is your only focus then get the £800 desktop. If you need to be mobile and the laptop is for not overly intensive work, then save up and get a £400 laptop later.

I needed both and ended spending £1800 on an MSI laptop (better design and you pay less for the name than Alienware, IMO), which is still very slightly under-powered for ARMA - other GPU intensive, games, it's fine!!!

Rule of thumb: and GTX9 series is NOT a GTX9M series.

My head is on a swivel, I just left the WD-40 at home.
