The reverse ideology in buying a new Laptop...for a newbie gamer....

This is very interesting insight. If we time travel back just few years, we would realize that every single 'common' computer user just bought a desktop PC or a Laptop to just browse the internet, listen to music, watch movies etc etc etc. Just then later, that very computer user realized that the PC or Laptop he bought is actually very sour when he intends to play some high graphics games like GTA, Need For Speed, etc. Either his PC or Laptop has a sub-optimal CPU or GPU.

And zip to today. This is no more a problem, provided, if you have the right questions and the right answers to your questions. So typically, when you plan to buy a new PC or Laptop today, following are the typical core features you look for:-

1. What is the CPU and how much RAM ?
2. What is the GPU and how much video RAM ?

And here is one more important decision which you should definitely include in your search,

3. What game titles you want to play ?

And this is ironic to 'last but not the least', that point 3 above actually provides answers to points 1 and 2. And I can already sense that little relieving astonishment and some intrigued brain work in you that how point 3 relevantly, efficiently and concisely answers all other questions.  And yes, you are right. Game titles of today are one of the most powerful pieces of bench-marking tools for your PC or Laptop. Yes, you do not need any profiler, or tool other than a game to check the attitude of your PC or Laptop.

So the PC or Laptop buying guide becomes very simple, ask yourself the question "Which game I want to play ?" Then go to this website http://www.game-debate.com/can-I-run where you select your game company and the title and then follow through the list of recommended/preferred CPU+RAM and GPU+Video RAM for this game.

And if you already have a PS or a Laptop, this website also provides details on game optimization, framerate, etc, when you enter your CPU, GPU and video RAM details.

Have fun and Happy Gaming,

Take it easy....
