Ok guys i need your help (Laptop model recommendation)

[Doobydu]

I'm getting a laptop in like 1 month from now, i'll be using this laptop for like 4-5 months then i'll build my desktop pc.

Thing is, i really want to play my old GC and Wii games (GC died a long time ago and i sold my Wii for beer one night LOL), but i also don't want to spend a lot on the laptop, so basically this is my situation:

*I Want to play GC and Wii oldies (my old WW,TP,Sonic AB2,SMBM,SMBB,THPS3,Okami and XenoBC disks).

*I also want to play a game called The Secret World, so i guess a "decent" dedicated GPU is a must (no hd 3000).

*Altough i don't want to spend a lot on it, i don't want to go lower than a i5 mobile cpu.

*Buget is around $900-$1000.
$1100 REALLY pushing it.
It may seem like a high budget for some people but i'll be using this same laptop for school and some modeling software in the future so i kinda need something along those lines

*forgot to add: no sager or xotic bc im not in the US , any other laptop model is fine .


So if you guys happen to know any laptop model that meet the above requirements or know about good mobile GPU/CPU combos please let me know so i can make some kind of research.

I know nothing about mobile CPU/GPUs so im literally begging you!

thank you

Okami need a high-performance overclocking processors . So I recommend any i5 or i7 that can turbo to 3.3Ghz on 2 cores or higher (Dual Core i7 is a must)
Nvidia GT 525M / 540M / 630M or AMD 6630M / 6650M / 7670M are good enough for 2.5x IR (1600x1320) , no AA , 16x AF
BTW where do you live ?

[Doobydu]

I live in Mexico City, Mexico, hence the bad english sometimes xD.

I could live without Okami if necesary... .

Do you know which brands are good for laptops like these?

I've heard hp pavillions overheats fast and that toshiba have bad customer support.

Thx for fast answer!

Asus G series or MSI G series (G = Gaming design = Good Cooling Design)
You buy it at local store ? online purchasing ? Any website you know ?

[Doobydu]

Thanks again, i'm not sure where im going to buy the laptop, it can be at a local store or online.

Online has more variety so maybe i will end up buying it online.

Been browsing a bit and i found an i5 430m/gts 360m asus combo real cheap.. but again i know nothing about mobile cpu/gpu performance..
don't know if this dx10 128mbit ddr3 gpu would do...

Most cheap laptop tend to overheat when dolphin is running
i5 430m is old and slow
