Laptop for Shogun 2 Ultra Graphics?

[Alucard666]

Im considering in buying a Laptop since my boarding school may not permit an ultra desktop or I just dont have enough money for it. Anyways, Im asking the community for help on what Laptop to get for Shogun 2, Ive waited for a year since I didnt have the time to buy it and also so I can have less expensive laptop for the game, and since the game came almost a year ago, I dont know whats the best laptop that I can get.

I have the money of up to $2,000 but I would like for it to be less than that to at least 800-900 or 1,000. Im also going to use it Medieval 2 and upcoming Rome 2

Any suggestion would be helpful

Sorry for the double post, but make sure when customizing it to upgrade to when of the quad-core CPUs and 8GB of RAM. It'll help the performance a lot, while keeping the price below your budget.

Im not that real good with customizing my computers, all I do is just buy it and play it to the end , unless you mean by upgrading it with graphic cards, I really dont customize it

I just meant to customize it on the site before you buy it. You won't need to do any of it yourself.

Sorry if I wasn't being clear!

I would vouch for the same model, its a clevo/sager, I would get it from xotic pc instead of origin or falcon northwest, those are the most expensive boutiques, with the same product as xotic or other resellers (like malibal, gentech...) I would also take a peak on the mythlogic, they are a builder (they do build the notebook, its not sager) and they have the phoenix plan, which means discounted parts for you to keep your machine up to date.

But basically what I recommend is this:

CPU: i7 3610qm
GPU: 680m
RAM: 8gb (the machine has 4 ram slots, you can go as high as 32gb, not that you will need that)
HDD: Samsung 830 256gb (search for it online, I have seen this as low as 180, thus buy it yourself)
ODD: its up to you I dont use it, some people do, I would put a caddy in there and put a 1tb HDD for storage
mSATA: I do find interesting this idea, the crucial m4 mSATA (dont confuse with the normal 2.5'' size!) is a good option, samsung also makes a mSATA version of their 830, though the former can be found on newegg, the latter is not so easily found, and I do find this a good way out for people that want the speed of the SSD + HDD + ODD

This should be close to 2k
