Which one? I am open to other suggestions around $500-$600. The MSI one is much more expensive, but I may be able to swing it.

 

I would like to play Battlefield 4, Minecraft, GTA V (when it comes) and other games at low-medium settings. Thanks! Also, which of these have user-interchangeable graphics?

 

This will most likely be paired with a Logitech G300 and a 120GB SSD. I am leaning towards one with an ODD so I can put a data doubler in there.

 

There aren't many specific requirements, other than staying in that price range, having a decently sized screen (14-17") and decent graphics.

i'll guess the                                                                                         is the best

                   Acer V5-552G-X414 AMD A-Series A10-5757M

That was my initial assumption as well, but I am not sure about how powerful the processor is compared to an i5 3317U/4200U.

Games, especially GTA V and BF4 will be pretty unplayable on all of those. Even at low.

I understand your budget is 500-600 dollars but sometimes or rather at this present point why not spend extra.

I kinda misread your price 500-800 and put this link http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834313583 then realised that was overboard with the price

Sadly, this is what I thought.

I will definitely take that lovely machine into consideration. Thanks!

[wng_kingsley7]

Don't misunderstand but if your paying for a laptop which is not going to change as much as the guy paying for the top end gaming PC, spend more in this case to have better longevity for your laptop.

I don't know if BF4 is a wisely aimed focus for a notebook but Minecraft will be running

Yeah, just to put it into perspective, I have a laptop with a GTX 650m and no matter how low I crank the settings on BF3, I can't get very playable FPS. So a 720m is pretty much out of the question.

Wait.......my brains not ... working ..........."So a 720m is pretty much out of the question" I'm still running a single core proccessor in my head. Use your Quad core to tell me if your saying its good or not

I don't get it? I'm saying a 720m won't run the games he wants to play. What's wrong with that?

Nothing is wrong I just have a hard time processing.........But minecraft will play it.. maybe bf3 not 4 at best.

Yes it will play minecraft, source games, certain low recourse indie games and old games. But nothing high end from the past few years. I mean don't we all agree that the 720m is pretty crap for gaming? It's not too much better than integrated graphics.

have a look at a 290. mantle support in any case will help with BF4

[wng_kingsley7]

Well now we play the waiting game.......till he orders his new laptop and we shall ask him to bring forth the results

Do they come in laptop configurations now? I would state that 290's should be generalized under BBQs

[Altecice]

crap didint read the thread properly.... they are only BBQ's if you set them up wrong anyway. Disregard my prev post

Ok. BF4 and GTA V are out of the question. What about GTA IV?

 

Also, with all of this being said, will the Acer with the AMD dual graphics and the 5757M be okay running modified versions of Minecraft such as Tekkit and Feed The Beast?

[wng_kingsley7]

GTA V isn't as demanding as BF3 is it? Not too sure haven't  checked it out
