Re: general question

Depends on how good you want your graphics to turn out. Automation, with the quality down, runs fine on any normal computer, but once you set the quality higher, there's a steep increase in processing power needed.

Re: general question

If you really want to make sure you can run it on top settings, then at the very least you're gonna want something with a good dedicated graphics card.

Re: general question

Well, "better" is a subjective term. I can run Automation on my dual core Atom tablet better than I would on say... this:

But if you have an unlimited budget, it's hard to beat an Alienware.

Other than them, Asus and Sager make great gaming machines, and are what I would recommend to most people. So does Dell, performance wise, but I've never had luck with the longevity of their computers. I've seen Razer is making some pretty sweet machines, but their price is way up there, and I don't know how well they are built.

Re: general question

Alienware? WAT... just no :P

MSI Gaming, Schenker and ASUS ROG are really good gaming laptops.

Re: general question

I had the Alienware M11x series computers, I thought they were great for their mobility and gaming power. Sadly, nobody before or since has done that with a netbook sized laptop.

If I were looking for a new full-size laptop though, (which I probably never will again) then Asus would be the first place I looked.

Re: general question

Yeah sure, but they are really expensive and not that much better than a cheaper MSI Gaming or ASUS ROG :P

Yup. I had about $1600 into my last M11x R3. I built a muuuuuch faster desktop for about $800. If ASUS made a powerful 11" laptop I'd be very excited. Razer makes a gaming tablet now... but with the accessories I'd need for everyday use it's way out of my price range at this time, lol.

My next laptop will probably be a Haswell equipped tablet PC. Should be powerful enough to run Automation without too much fuss, and still give me the battery life I need while in college. :)

Re: general question

I am running it on max settings at 1366x768 (native resolution) with a Lenovo V570 (core i5@2.5GHz, 6GB, Intel HD Graphics 3000 integrated) laptop. It slows a bit after playing for a couple hours, and alt+tab usually wonks out the in-game display after the 3rd or 4th switch. It's hardly a gaming laptop, but it also plays modern MMORPGs with fairly high fps.
