Is there any specific reason that you need a laptop compared to getting a desktop?


Not really I could go either way

Then get a desktop, it will be way more cost efficient.

And, do you know the specs of your current computer?

:(

It would be good if that was a desktop because all that needs is a RAM and video card upgrade.


Anyways, for GTA SA, you barely need anything to be able to run it all high, 8xAA and 16xAF. So a cheaper, but still good desktop would be good for you....unless you really want a laptop?

You realise that laptop is total overkill for your situation.

What i would highly suggest for you to do is to buy a desktop. The main reason for this is because you already have a fairly new laptop so why do you need another?

The main reason for a laptop is for the portability and the laptop can still run GTA SA so if you need to play sa-mp when you are not at your house then you still can so there is no reason to need a new laptop. A desktop will be cost efficient and more powerful than that laptop you posted on the first page. I just dont see why 2 laptops will be better than 1 laptop and 1 desktop.

lol, well it would be awesome if you knew how to build a computer because you would be able to get a really good one for under $1000.

Ill see what i can find for pre-builts.
