My laptop that I use for gaming pretty much just kicked the bucket, so I'm looking for a new one. I know desktops are better, but I just don't have the space for it. I've always gotten Dells in the past, but I've heard good things about Toshiba.

I want to be able to have the Sims 2, 3, and Medieval on it (I have all the EPs and SPs for both 2 and 3, plus Pirates and Nobles too) and I want to play them on the highest settings with no problems.

I found three Toshiba laptops that are in my price range and I need help deciding which of these will be right for me. The computer will be used solely for gaming (I have a separate laptop for school stuff).

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

This is the cheapest one, and preferably the one I buy:

Which one would you choose?

I have a Toshiba Satellite, and I absolutely love it. It's not what I use for gaming (I have an Alienware desktop for that), but it does plays Sims 2 perfectly fine. However, the graphics card isn't good enough for Sims 3. But it is more than four years old now, so obviously the graphics would be better in today's laptops. My laptop was Intel, whereas the ones you have are Radeon or NVIDIA.

Everything seems to be fine on all of them, but I'm not POSITIVE about the graphics card. I would find somewhere on this site that would tell you if a computer can run Sims 3 and put in those specifications to determine if they would run it. The graphics card is the only thing that I'm unsure of.

Thanks! I'm unsure about the graphics cards too. Hopefully someone can help me with that.

Bump.

I would suggest going for either one of the Toshiba Satellites, because they have the better graphics cards out of the ones you listed.

The Radeon 7670, according to the chart found here, will run all expansions and stuff packs with out any major problems (lagging, freezing, ect.).

Thanks!

If anyone else has feedback too, that would still be appreciated!
