Laptop related questions
Alright, I'm back with more laptop related questions. I have set my sights on this laptop: http://www.toshiba.ca/web/product.grp?lg=en§ion=1&group=1&product=8410&part=8718#spectop
Basically, it's a 14.1" Toshiba laptop. 2ghz dual core 800mhz fsb 2mb cache, 4gb ddr2 ram, radeon mobility 3470 (256mb w/ hypermemory?). Nowhere on the ATI's site can I find any mension of the 3470 having hypermemory. And to my understanding, this is technology that allows the video card to use both discrete memory and RAM on the motherboard. Now how effective is this? I have a feeling it's more of a cost cutting feature than a performance thing, and I am skeptical about its potential performance. Will this card be able to play SC2 when it comes out? I have a feeling that it won't be enough. Here's a link to ATI's site: http://ati.amd.com/products/mobilityradeonhd3400/index.html
What I'm really looking for in a laptop is all the standard stuff, dual core with plenty of ram, but also able to play SC2. I don't really care about all the other new games. I haven't been able to find a good laptop for a good price that can fit this requirement. Oh and strangely, I'd like my laptop to have bluetooth.
I've been looking on Newegg and I saw this model: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220389
The specs are amazing and the price is decent but it's been said that it has issues with its keyboard.
Really, I'm at a loss. I can't find a laptop that fits my requirements perfectly. Basically, a dual core processor, plenty of ram, 14.1" screen, bluetooth, a 512mb video card(can probably handle sc2 with that) at a price around 1,000 CDN. If anyone has any laptop model suggestions, that'd be great.
