Well, my familys going on a long trip this summer, and seeing as I have about $150 left over from xmas gifts and other things, I figure I'd start saving for a good laptop. I don't want anything insane, as I've already got this huge baby making machine (see sig for specs) but I'm looking for something I can multitask on (obviously) and that has a good enough dual core CPU to play most gamecube games on Dolphin, and maybe a few Wii games. (And also, an average GPU I can play Sonic Generations, Garry's Mod, CS:S and the like on - not very intensive games) I was previously looking at the first generation ASUS G73sw as Newegg was selling them for $650 at some point, however they're now somehow up to $860, so that's out of the question. Basically, I'm looking for something under $700, preferably around $500 or so that I can do all this on - what do you guys think would be the best options?
Gaming-ish laptop for Dolphin and such?

I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Z570 M556ZGE for 600 Euros.
Specs are in my signature. I can really recommend this notebook, it runs almost all games @ fullspeed. ![]() 01-16-2012, 02:07 PM

Could you link me to a site selling it or something though, as I can't find it anywhere.. Amazon has Z570's but they're all sucky i3 with integrated graphics xD. 01-16-2012, 04:15 PM
Well, this notebook is/was a special configuration only avaiable at MediaMarkt (German electronic shop).
Yesterday, it was still avaiable, but today, it's sold out ._. Maybe you can find it in Ebay, i dunno ![]() 01-16-2012, 04:24 PM

Thailand flood -> HDD price went up -> Laptop price went up
But 200$ cheaper ? Are you kidding me ? Unless it's second hand or refurbished laptop or missing a dedicated GPU Laptop: Mini PC :: 01-16-2012, 05:21 PM

And it really hasn't went back to normal by now? :/ Kinda sucks because I was gonna get a new HDD around the time of the flood too lol, $80 for internal 2TB went up to like $300. 01-16-2012, 05:32 PM
