I'm no pc expert, but I think cheaper then this is a bad idea
Newegg.com - ASUS A53SV-NH51 Notebook Intel Core i5 2430M(2.40GHz) 15.6" 6GB Memory DDR3 640GB HDD 5400rpm DL DVD±RW/CD-RW NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M
I hope you're not expecting this to be cheap...
Link
I found that one that will play the game just fine. Not perfect, but better than a PS3 or 360 could ever dream of.
Edit: link was broken...
i was thinking about getting this game too , looks very good
Those are the hardware requirements to play the game , real time 3d graphics are quite demanding these days , Dual Core 2.2GHz is a processor , NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 is a graphic card . Do you plan on getting a new laptop to play games ?
It really depends on your budget , running 3d Games require a graphic card , and most of the games these days require a good cpu also. The graphics in PC games can usually be adjusted , if your graphic card isn't strong enough you might be able to play on the lowest settings , but to play the games at maximum settings with beautiful graphics and decent framerates you need good hardware.
Notebooks aren't the best for gaming , so if you don't really need the portability i suggest getting a desktop system. But if you do , make sure you have a good graphic card , a decent cpu and at least 4gb of ram , not all notebooks have dedicated graphic cards , when it says "integrated graphics" watch out , this type of gpu isn't strong enough to run 3d games , unless you want it to look like a picture slideshow.
did you know that this game is available on ps3 and xbox also ?
might be a cheaper and easier solution for you
also what are the spec of your laptop or desktop. And like blabla said, gaming on a laptop is not the best idea due to the fact that it is smaller, less powerful and over heats faster then a desktop
Intel Dual Core 2.2GHz - A CPU with two processing cores on one die
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 1536MB - nVidia's 500 Series GPU.
I suggest getting a desktop over a laptop.
What is your budget?
i don't recommend Onlive , the input lag is a deal breaker for me , you play the games on their computers , and you get the video stream , so the image quality suffers , it costs alot of bandwidth and input lag is terrible .
Did you know that you can hook up consoles to a pc monitor ?
Also i don't suggest a GT540m , look for a laptop with the GT555m if you can find one in your price range. My laptop has a pretty decent ATI card , the Radeon 6750m so you should look for something in that range.
this page might be able to help you choose a Graphic card
PassMark Software - Video Card Benchmarks - High End Video Cards
From what I understand, OnLive would require an insane amount of internet bandwidth.
