New Laptop

[Heavensport]

After buying black ops i realised im going to need to upgrade computers. I'm looking to spend $1000 or less hopefully on a gaming laptop which would run black ops on full. I really have no idea when it comes to laptops.

Current laptop:

Intel Pentium Dual CPU T3400 @ 2.16 ghz
Nvidea Geforce 9600M GS
4gig Ram
160gig

What size screen and features are you looking for?

Does it have to be a lap top? With 1k you could build a decent desktop

Yea I need to take it from work to home etc. As for the screen size I think at the moment i have a 13" or there about that and i'm fine with it.

I pretty much just game, watch movies and misc on it.

Is the Hd 5730 better then the Hd 5650?

The HD 5730 looks like it would run black ops on high ... just

sort of, it is basically the same chip, one just runs at a higher clock rate.

If the company has the 5650 clocked in at at same clock rate then theyll perform the same

bump , any more suggestions?

How does this look compared to the Newegg.com ones?

Thing's got a 3 year warranty on top of the damn good deal.

Mind=Blown. It's the same price in Canada. I need a job damnit.

EDIT: By the way, you're not going to get the kind of gaming laptop you're looking for for less than $1000.

As far as my poor ability to compare benchmarks says, yes. I'd look into it yourself if I were you, though. Remember there is also a 3 year warranty with the MSI, whereas the one you posted is both used and lacks a warranty.

I was watching reviews on the one you posted and the temperature seems to be an issue. A lot of them seem to have changed the heat sinks and changed out the 2gig ram cards with 4 gigs ddr3. Not sure if that will void the warranty though.

It could. I don't think it would be necessary. A simple laptop cooler seems to have solved the issue for the majority of them. I assume the others don't think that's cool enough, but it should be for just about anybody.
