Cheap Laptop Good for Running Spore?
I want a laptop that is reasonably priced, and is fast and can play Spore smoothly? Probably not anything more expensive than $700-$800. I want to be able to play it on high-detail, also. Any help would be appreciated.

well the good news is spore isnt that high of a requirement of a game, otherwise most games you must buy a gaming laptop which is always 1k+. THis is because of the graphic card that makes the price jump up extremly, for mainstream laptops they just stick a crappy graphic card capable of doing basic hd video watching and thats about it. most of them come with the intel 4500 or ati 3200 which is the gpu's that cannot do gaming.
however some mainstream laptops put the ati 4670 or nvidia 9300 or 9400, which will be good enough to play spore on medium maybe high depending on resolution.
Source(s): heres a example that would play spore http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8... just avoid all intel graphic cards, and get an ati one with 4650 or better or a nvidia 9400 or gt 130 or better, prefabbly if the video card was ddr3. I have seen some thats under 800 dollars with ddr3 gpu but you need to look around. I think it was acer that had that one.
