Need some advice- Buying a laptop to “game”?
Question by Abbigaille: Need some advice- Buying a laptop to “game”?
I am a retired Wow player and am thinking of going back. I also am a HUGE SIMS 3 FAN! 🙂
I’m buying a new laptop and have quite a budget. I really need the cheapest and best for my money. I found this computer on Best Buy’s website and it seems to be perfect for me. I now need some advice from some fellow gamers. Could this run the Sims? What about Wow? I’m not wanting an alienware, I realize I get what I pay for but, I would like for it to run it on default. Thanks guys!
