Well I don't have a choice. Only thing I can get is a laptop so I want one I can use.
Ok.
so the one i was looking at is this:
http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/hewlett-packard-hp-15-6-amd-athlon-ii-p320-2-1ghz-laptop-g62-244ca-silver-future-shop-exclusive-g62-244ca/10146057.aspx?path=d689e5acca5bee9d4ab0b5ec89ff1036en02

BUT there is a 1 day deal on this laptop:
http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/toshiba-toshiba-satellite-15-6-amd-athlon-x2-p320-laptop-c650d-00p-black-future-shop-exclusive-c650d-00p/10145890.aspx?path=f0bfcfbaadf87afc1bc15b8114552d49en02

I need to know in the next 2 hours on whether or not to get it

Both have same processor, gfx, and ram, but the satalite has a larger screen, cheaper and has larger HDD, so id say go with that one.

Yah but no LED backlit display and screen size is the same for both
apparently $30 gets you minus 180GB (i dont use that much HDD space anyways) more RPM on the HDD (bad for laptops poor cooling) and an LED backlit display (this is very good but I don't know how important it is?)

Laptop cooling is not as bad as people make out. Just dont use it on top of a blanket or carpet. On a desk or such should never overheat if its not broken.

For instance, I'm running an I5, GTS 360m 1gb card, 7200rpg 500gb HD and such....all the time...no heat issues at all.

Great... My dad saw this and can't help himself. Its a slightly better than his laptop (0.3ghz faster CPU, better cooling, bigger HDD) and $100 less than what he payed for his 1 year ago.

but it has intel HD graphics... His laptop does play coh 1v1 replays so hopefully i wont totally suck ass in 4v4.

(he has an extra stick of DDR2 for it so it will have 4GB ram)

If you buy a laptop with an Intel video card with the intention of playing any game more complex than minesweeper - you should thank evolution for letting you slide.

Any integrated chipset is a double fault. Not only can you not play anything you'd like to but you also can't upgrade it without upgrading associated parts.

honestly I don't actually ever hope. I am incapable of it between the atheism and autism.

they were sold out and so i ended up getting this:

ACER ($486 after taxes etc, $428 before)
Win 7 home premium 64 bit
AMD P320 (2.1, 1M L2)
15.6" LCD, LED-backlit
ATI mobility Radeon 4250
4GB DDR3
250GB HDD (will replace with 320 that we have)
1.3 megapixel camera (dont care)
6-cell Li battery (cell # does make a difference in longevity but only after 2 years assuming it lives that long)

You could have just bought a brick instead of that video card. More or less same efficiency.

Otherwise, I guess it's a decent enough netbook.

a 5*4 pixel resolution doesn't count as "able to run".

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Comparison-of-Graphic-Cards.130.0.html

Press CTRL+F and type in 4250 to find your card easier.

You'll notice it's ranked exactly 2 places above the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator. Also that it's an onboard graphics card.



http://www.notebookcheck.net/ATI-Radeon-HD-4250.29664.0.html

You will notice that games such as Doom 3 will be "Barely playable" - L4D

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Computer-Games-on-Laptop-Graphic-Cards.13849.0.html

Yet again, CTRL+F and 4250 to scroll down to the FPS benchmarks of the 4250 immediately.


Green means the game runs at 30+ FPS, Yellow means 24-30, Red means Below 24.

As the very first notable piece of information - you'll notice Starcraft 2 is only playable at low graphics. That makes your statement of your card running CoH on maximum... slightly hard to believe, to say the least.
