Laptop that can run PSO?

[Zessica]

Alright guys, it's as the title says, I'm looking for a laptop that can run PSO2. Im on a 400$ budget so let's keep it in that range?

Secondly, don't bring the "Desktops are better build your own" argument here please, I already have one which I play PSO on at home lol the whole point is to play on the go, (While I'm at college or so.)

So with that said, anyone got anything for me?

anything with at least intel hd 3000 and a decent amount of ram should be able to run it fairly comfortably on min settings. you won't be playing it with any shaders, but you'll be able to run it

If you want to run a very cheap, minimalist kind of game, I recommend the laptop I currently use to play; a Dell Insperion M5030. It can go to 64-bit and disassembly to install a better RAM card is VERY simple and cleanup is a sinch.

The only flaw is that sometimes the Keyboard can regularly cause some keys to not work (It's a common problem, I fixed this by removing the keyboard and plugging it back in and now it hasn't had that problem since.)

The one I have is alright, but I always strive for something better with it. It runs PSO2 with minimal settings easily.

Anything with at least 4gb of ram and a Core i3 or higher CPU can run it.

Fair warning though, you might want to invest in something to keep your laptop cool. I've occasionally had to run it on laptops, pretty decent ones as far as laptops go too, and even on minimum settings the machines tend to burn out and shut themselves off after about 15-20 minutes.

I don't know how the one suggested by KroDragon could even get past the character select screen, with that Sempron V160 & very weak mobility intergrated graphics. Avoid that.

If you could raise your budget to the $650 - $800 range, you could get something much better...But if you're truly locked at $400 or less, then the one suggested by LunaSolstice would be ok for Low Graphics.

Also, as Hysteria1987 said: Get something to keep your laptop cool / well-ventilated.

I use an MSI GP60 Leopard. $850 laptop, full HD, runs PSO2 on max settings without stutters, except for when I'm loading into lobbies, but AFAIK, everyone gets that.

This was in the first post...

sometime I play it on Asus N53S laptop with lowest graphic setting at my workplace

Anything with IntelHD3000, 2GB RAM (Yes, 2GB), and Intel i3 mobile can run the game.
Just turn off shaders, and use compressed texture.

I'm playing PSO2 using ASUS A43E with no shaders, and normal textures, with only like 4 detailed character display back then, i think it's around Alpha 2 to late EP1.
It managed to maintain a pretty stable performance, however the laptop itself gets really hot (up to 91 degree).
If i must say, it is recommended to not play this game on laptop or if it's not a option to get a PC, better invest the money left on cooling pad or something to reduce the potential damage.
Also glove, i mean seriously... you really going to rest your palm on hot surface? I suffered that kind of situation and never again.

Pretty much any laptop from the market can run PSO2 just fine. But for the sake of a bit of durability, I would suggest you getting a laptop with a graphic card other than a Intel HD. Intel HD is integrated graphics card while Nvidia for example is a dedicated one. For games, it's always better to run in a dedicated card instead of integrated.

In case you don't mind the moon runes, why not a vita? i'm sure you can find a pretty cheap one.

I am running PSO2 on an old Lenovo T400 Laptop and if I put the graphics on low it runs smoothly with the shaders turned on, if I use the tweaker to turn the shaders off and play on potato settings I can get 60 frames per second if everything on the lowest.

My specs:
Processor 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
RAM 4 GB SO-DIMM DDR3

Graphics ATI Mobility Radeon 3400

I bought this used on Amazon for just under $200. So for your budget you should be able to get something a bit better than this.


EDIT: On a side note, I can turn the shaders on and increase the character apperance limit to about 20 or so while in the lobby, but I do suffer a bit of frame rate. The game is still playable though. When photon arts activate and you get a lot of flash on the screen the game gets really choppy, but I should point out that I was still able to get the timing for my attacks and dodge the boss without taking damage. Perhaps I got used to playing with crappy settings and got good at it, but I wanted to point out that if you WANTED to turn the graphics up a bit with a laptop equal to mine, you can do so...

seen asus laptops with a 5th gen i5 with a hd 4400, for around 400/500, that can run the game with shaders.

check pso2 running on the surface pro 3, pretty decent graphics overall. considering the resolution and framerate.
