Good choice laptop?

Basically do you think this laptop would be ideal for good Runescape game play, without continuous lag? As I enjoy playing in high detail, do alot of staking also, I don't want any lag when I'm switching, and this fits into my price range.

 

That's a pretty bad deal. I think it might just barely run Runescape on minimum settings.

If you like Acer then I recommend looking at the 8930g/8920g models on eBay. Used ones cost about the same as the deal you found, but are miles better.

= Thats bad.. not worth it.

 

Take it from me, any laptop under 500 = shitty, and usually built for school stuff.

Acer, dn't even get me started on how terrible it is, it makes me want to cry that they have sales. However, look into an HP, or Dell, they have decent laptops, 3x price, sure, 10x better.

This laptop is acutally cheaper than your laptop and has a better graphics card with a 2.4 Ghtz A6 proc. Take a look. It may be what you are looking for.

 

You will be able to get a better one that that, the one you listed only has 1GB of RAM. That will barely run Runescape on the lowest settings, I would look at PC World. They have some good deals for laptops and you will get more for your money, trust me don't buy that laptop.
