Gaming laptop from Hp
I need help looking for a gaming laptop from hp since I get a discount there. Somebody recommended [url=http://shopping2.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Laptops/HP-ENVY/A9D34AV?HP-ENVY-Spectre-XT-Ultrabook-13t-2000]this[/url], but I'm not sure if it can actually game. I'm going to be using this laptop primarily for gaming, but I will also be using it to take online classes. I need a laptop that can last me for 4 years since that's how long my contract with the Marine Corps.
TLDR:Looking from a gaming laptop from hp that will last me for a while

but its got a solid state HD.
Those things are sick.
Games like Skyrim, BF3, Diablo 3, Guild Wars 2, and such?
Screen size? Laptop weight? Battery life?
I don't really have a budget since this will be the only thing I will bring to mos school and after. I'll probably use it to play some of the latest games and some indie games.
Yeah, while that HP Spectre is a nice ultrabook, it isn't catered to those who wants to game and won't be very suited for it (some games, yes, but not the more taxing ones - well, you might be able to play them on low).
What games will be playing? Also, what's your budget?
You want an alternate gpu. Just the integrated one that comes with that model that person recommended won't like 90% of the games it runs. The newest radion HD series or an NVidea GTX GeForce chipset should be looked at. Get a laptop with switchable graphics.

It will certainly impress you now. I have a dv7 also with a radeon HD 6700. I've had it for a year and it seems to be running fine. It can run any pc game on the general market now without a problem.
Of course, nothing can compare to a desktop...
