Ok guys, longtime out of the loop on laptops. I'm running an MSI GX640 and it's done ok on dota 2 which is the only game I play a lot of right now. However, I will be looking to play a few others in the near future; dungeon defenders 2 and the final fantasy 7 remake when it comes out.
The problem is that I've recently run into a problem with my GX640, the hinge seized and broke the screen casing. So I have two options, pick up a new laptop or there is a used GX640 for $150 I can pick up to just fix up this one and use it for spare parts.
Now I don't have a lot of $$$ for a new laptop right now, max around $500. So I'm just wondering if it's worth trying for something new in that price range or just fix up the gx640 for now.
Specs on the GX640:
- Intel Core i5-430M
- 500.0 GB HDD
- 4GB RAM
- HD5850 video
Thanks guys.
