Laptop recommendation

[prunkster]

Hi all,

I am intending to get a laptop that can play crysis and bf3 at medium to high settings. I don't want it to lag.

I was looking at Y500 where there is two GT 650m DDR5. Is this good enough?
Can the laptop last me another 3-4 years?

Another laptop I was looking at is the msi laptop GT 70 OND which has 1 GTX675M 4GB GDDR5.

Which one is better

Y500 should be ok for BF3 on med-high but I don't know about 3-4 years time as games are likely to become more graphics intensive by then.

The GT70's 675M should be slightly better in performance compare to the 650M SLI but I think gaming performance wise probably negligible diff. Also note GT70 is a bigger notebook than Y500 with almost 1kg more in weight... (however they do have a 15.6" version, the GT60).

The MSI ones of course will be costlier too. Expect prices 2.5k and above for GT60, and over 3k for GT70

Okay, thank you for the reply. One more question.

Which one will you pick.
1)GE 60 OND437 - GF GTX660M 2GB GDDR5

2)Y500 - GT 650M DDR5 2GB x 2

3)Y500 - GT 750M x 1

All at $1999(is this the current price?)

And I stay at bedok, anyone knows nearest place I can purchase the laptop

MSI will be launching their new range of Haswell models with new GTX700 series graphics card in PC Show. If you have budget constraint, go for the 3rd gen which will have price drop in show to clear... PM me for clearance price/promo
