I'm not too hard to please, but I've been unable to find anything fitting my criteria:
-$800 or less
-dedicated GPU. I'm not a huge gamer, but I'd like to be able to play Skyrim and Battlefield 3 on medium. No idea if this is a realistic goal. I know next to nothing about GPUs, so it's especially important that I get help here.
-Core i5 or i7 processor
-At least 4 gigs of RAM. Though again, I'd really appreciate some guidance as to how much is really necessary.
That's it. Something like this would be great:
Newegg.com - ASUS A53SV-NH51 Notebook Intel Core i5 2430M(2.40GHz) 15.6" 6GB Memory DDR3 640GB HDD 5400rpm DL DVD±RW/CD-RW NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M
I remember seeing that it was $750 or so, but unfortunately Newegg seems not to be selling it anymore. Most of the good Asus computers there are out of stock now, which is a bit of a shame. I'd prefer Asus or Toshiba, but I'm open to anything but HP if possible. Thank you.
