Hello,

Im looking to purchase a laptop that can run Diablo 3. Can anyone suggest some?  I would prefer to run on medium at a good fps. I have a limited budget so the cheaper the better.

Thanks,

Hi,

After searching through the tons of laptops on the Best Buy site, I wasn't really sure where to begin. If you had a maximum amount you were wanting to spend that could help narrow down the results significantly.

However, just for your own info. A friend of mine was playing Diablo 3 beta with me on her Intel i5-2410 with HD 3000 graphics and seemed to have no trouble. Her graphics were definitely not turned up high, but she was having no issues playing the game.

Also, you might consider researching how well the AMD A6 and A8 systems compare to the i5 previously mentioned. They can be had for less money and you have numerous choices from Best Buy.

Hope this was helpful,

Budget range 800 or less. Ideally Less.

Here is a list of some notebooks that I was able to find on Best Buy's website within your price range. Just a disclaimer, I haven't researched the individiual systems to see how they actually perform. Everything has been based purely off of their specifications. I've listed them in order by price.

$800

$700

This machine is probably the best for gaming out of the list. Especially for the price. However, it's an HP but at least it's got a lot of good reviews.
