I am thinking about buying a laptop... Dell or HP. What is needed to run BF2 with medium quality?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Don't get a laptop to play BF2. I don't need to explain why.
Chances are any mid-range laptop you get ($500+) will be able to run BF2 on medium settings these days, doesn't matter on the brand. I would recommend HP from experience of screens lasting longer.
would you mind. I am not following.d4rkph03n1x wrote:

Vista may slow things down, but I play 100% view distance, med geometry and low with 80 FPS still...
do not get a laptop with integrated video - it wont play bf2 well, especially intel integrated video which wont play bf2 at all. Look for something with an ATI or Nvidia video with its own ram.
here is a comparison list: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Gra … 844.0.html
I have a Geforce-go 7800gtx and it plays bf2 no problem with good frame rates even at 1920x1200. I usually play at 1280x800 because 1920x makes some stuff to hard to see - and 1280 is still 16:10 which matches my 17" widescreen.

yeah, i've got a dell laptop that's a year old and it runs BF2 just fine.
And COD4,
and any source game
and WiC, CoH, Oblivion, or... practically anything out now. I haven't struggled yet.
2Ghz C2D processor
GeForce 7900Go (actually performs better than 8600 Go)
2GB ram....
yeah. cost me 2K, but hey... i wanted it.

are you planning to get a screen and keyboard, so you can just plug it into them when your home?
Nope. Maybe plug it into my Plasma every once in a while.... Well I guess I shouldn't just say nope.... 99.9% probably not. How's that?Ashlite wrote:

I bought a Dell Vostro 1500 with a GeForce 8400GS and I can play BF2 well enough on medium settings.
I have a Dell Inspiron with X1400 Mobility (hyper memory): terrible graphics card, but I can play bf2 well enough so that's fine. Also, I can play games like Oblivion if I turn everything down to pretty much zero.
The good thing about Dells is that you can customise them a little. HPs usually come with integrated chipsets so don't get those.

Why would you want a laptop at all?
