not finding anything in my ideal range and i seemed to keep getting caught up on GPU specs .. i was hoping to spend 500-600 but looks like that will go up unless my needs can be met with a lower end GPU.
now its been a long time since my last laptop purchase.. and this has lasted me a very long time and pretty much handled the things i enjoyed doing.. has intel 1.46 x 2 cpu, 1gb ram, 7200 rpm HD, integrated 965 intel graphics, and blah blah blah
id like to play FPS occasionally, Americas army was cool enough for me back in the day, and so was far cry .. but im sure games are more taxing these days .. id like to be able to play a current popular FPS (even the newest americas army would do ) .. and my second wish would be to have the capabilities to hook it up to my 32" led .. i have no idea if any laptop GPU would even handle gaming on it but that would be cool .. not necessary though .. mostly just for a monitor when i do music editing and homework .. ya i get lazy sometimes so i thought if i hooked up my laptop to the tv and used a wireless keyboard mouse id be in heaven
side note --- if im only dong these things visual studio, little gaming (decent settings), tv hook up how would a i3 compare to a i5 ?
