Tweety.Abd Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Specs are good enough, you should be able to play most of the games at acceptable frame rates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arizin Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 What I have mentioned is an i7 with a base clock speed of 1.8Ghz ( turbo boost to 3Ghz) having 2 cores.Some say the lower frequency will have a negative impact on the gaming performance , is it true?

Arizin Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Ok, I'll seek advice form someone who knows more about laptops. Frankly,I know everything about configurations regarding PCs,in fact I built it myself.Since this is the first time I'm buying a laptop, I'm kind of having a dilemma on which to choose.The main problem is the graphics of these laptops cannot be upgraded(or might be able), If its upgradable then I would purchase parts and fix it myself.But anyways, Thx nanoman!

gipsy Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Is it possible to use a external SSD to the laptop I'm purchasing.I mean I have one in my PC .it's possible by USB 3.0. but speed will be too slow.better way is change HDD to SSD & DVD to HDD.http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=HDD+instead+DVD+on+laptopbut in your case mSata is the best way ,ask your local dealer about it.

rudrax Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Laptops are never meant for gaming. If you play high 3D graphics demanding games on the laptop, the CPU and GPU generates tremendous amount of heat which for not having enough space and cooling mechanism in a laptop, can't dissipate at required rate and leads to overheat which will kill you machine eventually.You want to buy a high end laptop, that's a good thing but don't do serious gaming on it.

gipsy Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 You want to buy a high end laptop, that's a good thing but don't do serious gaming on it.DELL Inspiron 15R isn't a hi-end laptop.(it is not Alienware, ROG, Clevo,Sager etc.).it's just good laptop & all modern games will be working on it.
