Help buying new laptop.

Ay, looking at buying yet another laptop, last one died from a beer spill. Not looking at spending over 500 aud. Anything that can run 07rs. 4gb 2.3ghz? I know next to nothing about pcs.

Don't want a desktop as im always on the move, last one was acer aspire, lasted about 2 years.

Any advice would be great going for a look this week.

 

Pretty much any standard laptop will be able to run 07 RS fine. You won't need more than 4GB and the matching cpu on most if not all laptops with 4GB RAM will run 07 fine

 

Ahh oki, so anything really with 4gb will be fine, even notepads and stuff?

 

I'd personally get something with at least 4GB of RAM, anything higher would be awesome. Intel i3 processors are generally okay for running games like RuneScape and doing everyday tasks, but if you can get an Intel i5 processor in your price range, that would be double awesome. You won't really need to worry about having a strong graphics card either. As for screen resolution, 1366x768 is typically standard on most laptops, but if you can score something with 1600x900 or even 1920x1080, you'll have a nice looking display.

Here's an example of something that's a pretty good bang for your buck (4GB Ram, 500GB HDD, Intel i3, 1920x1080 resolution for $370 USD): http://www.amazon.com/Asus-F555LA-A...UTF8&qid=1464314861&sr=8-2&keywords=asus+f555

I'm biased and favor brands like Lenovo and Asus; just have had better luck with those brands then others. Find something similar or better then the one I linked and you should be golden. Feel free to PM me if you want my opinion on certain models. Cheers!

 

Cheers for the info mate helped alot.

 

I can run runescape on a 15 year old computer with ease. Anything will work but if you plan on going outside of RS and plan to multi task a lot then I would settle with 8GB of RAM.

 

I saw a cheapy lenovo for $250. 4gb ram, small screen but should do the job for oldschool yeah?
