His computer specs are fine for Skyrim.

How well though, is questionable.

If I were you, I'd look into getting some more RAM. :-)

Why have an i7 processor if you're not going to use all of it? :D

I'm not saying more RAM is necessary. I'm saying it wouldn't be an idea to invest in it.

*EDIT* RAM is never going to get any cheaper, just more expensive. With some of the new video game systems coming out, I would assume PCs will follow with new processors. Since Samsung released DDR-4 in early 2011, I would assume DDR-5 isn't far away.

Post by: D E A T H on March 10, 2013, 09:35:17 pm: I didn't get but I got this instead. It's cheaper but still has the same specs other than the video card but hey that's what I have a ps3 for.

It is refurbished and was wondering what you guys think about refurbished laptops.

Post by: Pinkamena on March 10, 2013, 10:35:22 pm: The gt630m won't be able to run new games.... it will struggle to run bf3 at 30+ fps on low. If you actually want a computer for gaming you have to spend at least 1200 on a laptop or just build yourself a desktop. Skyrim will run on medium but definitely not on high-ultra at least not without drops below 30fps in certain areas.

Post by: Pinkamena on March 12, 2013, 03:44:23 pm: Yup I browse the forums from time to time, also I idle on IRC a lot. I just have no interest anymore in playing Runescape because it's just a grind-fest that gets boring very very fast.
