Hi, I'm trying to find some more information regarding D3 running on a laptop system. My desktop is slowly failing me, and I need to purchase a laptop for work. Since I've been planning on purchasing this game for a while, and will be also purchasing a laptop soon, I want to make sure that I will have high enough specs for the game to run on my new computer.
I'm not very computer savvy, especially when it comes to laptops, so maybe someone here can help me. People have told me to definitely get an i7, others say i5's with a decent graphics card should do fine. What about AMDs? And then I see that there are first, and second generation processors. Arghh. Very confusing.
I will be going through BestBuy (fortunately/unfortunately) because I have a decent gift card to start with.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First, I was considering this one: HP - 15.6" Pavilion Laptop - 6GB Memory - 640GB Hard Drive - Dark Umber
I'm really not quite sure....All I know is that I need it to run smoothly, with no issue or questions about it. I don't want any uncertainties if it will have trouble running or not, etc. If anyone can tell me their thoughts on these two machines I listed, or guide me to maybe another machine that would work (roughly in a $400-$725 price range if possible) - I would greatly appreciate it!!!!
For Diablo 3, the most important part is the GPU. Both laptops you linked use the AMD Radeon HD 6620G. I'm not too familiar with this one, but since it's an integrated design (part of the CPU, sharing system memory) it won't be as fast as a true discrete card.
That said, it should be enough for Diablo 3 since it's a very modern architecture. If you're having issues with smoothness, dropping a few detail levels (shadows especially) should fix it.
