I am looking to get a laptop for black friday to use iracing and minecraft and school work... here are my options...The specs on that laptop look like they'll work, but the graphics will probably be on the lowest setting. I used my laptop for the first couple weeks of my iRacing career while waiting on PC parts to arrive. The first time I tried, the laptop overheated and shut off! From then on, I propped it up on 4 blocks and kept a box fan blowing across it whenever I played.
There doesn't seem to be many good deals for reasonable gaming laptops.I am looking to get a laptop for black friday to use iracing and minecraft and school work... here are my options...
LOWER PRICE IS RECOMENDED
WILL BE CONNECTED TO MONITOR WITH HDMI

if none of these are satifactory please provide a computer that is in my budget and fits the needs.
A reply should be ASAP please...for anyone
do either of these work?
They should do, best I think for budget hence recommending them to you. If you have bigger budget then the one in quoted link from tigerdirect.com will run all games much better although it is quite big in size.
is there one maybe a little bit cheaper?They should do, best I think for budget hence recommending them to you. If you have bigger budget then the one in quoted link from tigerdirect.com will run all games much better although it is quite big in size.
Don't think there is, Best Buy are going to offer a Dell with similar spec for same price on Black Friday.is there one maybe a little bit cheaper?
oh and thanlks for the help everyone
ok sounds good. can i run iracing on Integrated AMD R2 GraphicsDon't think there is, Best Buy are going to offer a Dell with similar spec for same price on Black Friday.
I think it will be a struggle, much better to pay the same amount and get something that might be 3 times more powerful for the same price.ok sounds good. can i run iracing on Integrated AMD R2 Graphics
which one was that? i lost the linkI think it will be a struggle, much better to pay the same amount and get something that might be 3 times more powerful for the same price.
Them two Acer ones which you should see links in posts above, they have Intel HD 4400 graphics. Up to you if you want touchscreen or not, if touchscreen breaks, more expensive to repair so keep that in mind.which one was that? i lost the link

Might be able to play it on low resolution and settings and framerate might not be so good. Are you sure there is something wrong with wifi and not just disabled?will this computer work? here are the specs...i have this one at my house but it doesnt connect to wifi so were getting it fixed....its practically brand new. used maybe once a week for a month

yeah weve tryed everything...we will probably just use a wire to use the internetMight be able to play it on low resolution and settings and framerate might not be so good. Are you sure there is something wrong with wifi and not just disabled?
Here you can start with videos like these maybe, I'm sure that most of the computers that you've come up with are capable of playing the game but not to a great quality. I'm sure graphics and frame rate will suffer.
what would you say the frame rate would be on mostly low-medium settings? lets ssay like 25 cars at maybe daytonaMight be able to play it on low resolution and settings and framerate might not be so good. Are you sure there is something wrong with wifi and not just disabled?
