SWBF PC Advice (Laptops)

Jan 5, 2015 4:11AM PST

I am interested in buying a laptop that can run Star Wars: Battlefront 1 & 2. I have found a 2 that I think can run it no problem. Its just that I'm no "techy" by any means so I'm not sure. I do know that these games are older so I hope it works out.

I talked to someone earlier and they said the hp would work.

Buy it and let us know how things turn out.
Bob knows about these things though....

The charts have so many low frame rate numbers for me to give either a positive nod. Let's hope you won't be upset with it later.

I never wrote it won't "work." It will be too sluggish for any gamer I know today.

Too bad you missed out on that Woot HP deal.

You realize it is a 10 yr old game

I had a Nvidia 6600 GT back then.

And it barely did that well. I think folk warned you off so what to do other than make your decision and live with it?
