Question

[Matthias]

Howdy,

I already asked Hitman, but I just want to be sure . Would this computer be able to run SA:MP?

Thanks!

It may run SA-MP but anything 3D and the graphics card will probably struggle, no offence but 400 euros isn't worth that.

Go make a thread here, in the "What notebook should I buy" section.

They're really good at suggesting what laptops to get in your budget, i'm 100% sure they will suggest something better for 400 euros, just fill out their form thing which is sticked in the "What notebook should I buy" section.

You can compare graphics cards here.

So you can compare the graphics card on that laptop to the one they suggest.

Thanks for the reply. What do you mean by "but anything 3D"?

I've already ordered it so it's kinda too late for that =/

GTA: SA is a very old game and barely takes anything to run it. So by today's standards, GTA: SA is not a 3D-intensive game and that's what he meant by it. Basically, don't expect to run anything more 3-D intensive than GTA: SA

it's onboard gfx

Tbh I would of least asked around abit more before buying, i'm almost 100% sure you can get a better laptop for 400 euros.

[Matthias]

That's probably true, but I was kinda stupid and ordered it already =/

Oh well, my main intention wasn't to buy it so I could play SA:MP on it. Thanks for the replies.

EDIT: Another stupid question: is it possible to plug a wired mouse that I used to use on my old computer to my laptop? Or does it require a special mouse?

Thanks

[FarePak]

If your mouse is a USB mouse then you'll be able to plug it in the USB port. If not then you're gonna need a PS/2 to USB adapter.

Although if your mouse is fairly new and not budget, it shouldn't be a PS/2 connector.

[Matthias]

Hm it's not an USB mouse =/ 

Do you know how much a laptop mouse costs?

[FarePak]

Theres not a specific mouse for laptops, you can just get any USB mouse they range from 5 euro to 50+ euro.


Well there are mice made for laptops but only reason it says that they're made for laptops because they're really really small but I prefer a full sized mouse.
