Avialla1488303294 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Hi - I am trying to get a laptop I can actually run SL on. I have to get it at Best Buy - it is an exchange for one that has given me a great deal of trouble. It has to be a laptop. I need some recommendations on what would be the best one to move to under the circumstances - I can probably swing about a thousand wiht the replacement and my savings since then. Does anyone have any good suggestions? I also have Verizon internet, and am connected by wire. I have been using SLgo because this machine has so many problems but the net flickers and I get disconnected frequently for bad net quality. I hope to get some recommendations - and thank you!!!

Yarah Rain Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I've heard nothing but good things about MSI laptops. They are great for gaming, and this one, has the same specs as my Acer I just got, actually...a tad bit better with it's larger screen & 1TB hard drive. It's well below your budget so you can afford an extended warenty, tax, and all that good stuff too. With these specs, I run SL just fine, averaging about 40fps at my home on ground level. About 80fps in the sky, and around 25fps on a full sim like at a club or festival with 40-60 avatars. This is on Mid-High graphics. I'm more than pleased. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/msi-gp70-leopard-010-17-3-laptop-intel-core-i5-8gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive-black/5185148.p?id=1219113400424&skuId=5185148 Hope this helps. Now if you want to run around on Ultra and get 80fps at the Gatcha Fair...then that's a whole other level of Laptop, and you'll need to up your budget. But this PC will run SL wonderfully, and at a great price too. (Best Buy does not sell my Acer or I would recommend that) Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenni Darkwatch Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I'd second the MSI gaming laptop suggestion, or the ASUS ROG series of laptops. I have an ASUS ROG myself and it runs SL flawlessly. Bought it with a regular HD in it, then added a SSD myself and running OS and apps off the SSD, leaving the HD for storage. Only complaint? The thing is massively huge.
