We still don't know what kind of PhysX will be used. Fortunately we only need to wait a few more days to find out.

Well my laptop seems to be able to handle Tribes on High graphics so I don't think I will have a problem with PS2.

If you have a bulky 17 inch gaming desktop replacement laptop I would hope so.

All I know is that for now, I have 9 pounds of gamer awesomeness. lol I think the graphics for the game will be epic anyhow, even for people who play on low graphics. But do you think floral will be mandatory? I hope so, would be cool to hide in the grass knowing everyone see's the grass.

I'm hoping it is. Stupid to put in so much of it in the highest graphic setting for it to do nothing. That kinda disappointed me in PS anyway.

17 inch screens are the new standard for high-perf or even moderate-perf laptops.

Yeah, but those things are heavy. Much prefer an 11" and TV hdmi output. Or if you have dual cards, 17" + TV hdmi to whatever size.

I paid more than $400, and the only problem I've had with many games is heat output. Even that is manageable if you change your environment around.
There are things I miss, sure, but many features about my laptop are much better than my old desktop (that I was using a little more than a year ago).

You should probably expend another $50 and get a proper cooling pad for your laptop. One of my friends (who also feverishly refuses to buy a desktop and opts for expensive laptops) recently burnt his second laptop in the last 9 months.

Re: Why you shouldn't plan on playing PlanetSide 2 on a laptop


My laptop runs the AMD Llano chip, aka fustion APU. It has some decent integrated graphics. Massively better than the useless HD3000 crap in intel chips. I actually got it to use with my telescope's celestial camera so wasnt planning on gaming but it runs pretty much everything great. L4D2 maxed at 60+fps, WoW with all but shadows maxed at great FPS, etc. I see no reason it wont also run PS2 on atleast medium settings. And btw, i got a steal on this thing for around 400 bux, i think its closer to 500-550 now without that insane sale.

Its a 14", so its size is about the minimum before the screen gets too small to game on. It has HDMI output too if i need to hook it up to a monitor or hdtv. But on that small screen, i will be able to turn on most any setting that you could actually perceive and so it will look awesome. Now if i output it to a larger screen such as the 47" my main Desktop runs on, then yeah you might see not every graphic feature is on, but if you are outputting to a tv or monitor and gaming alot you should prob just get a desktop anyway.

Its in no way gonna compare with my OC'd 4.2ghz i7-2600k + OC'd GTX580, but for a portable system that cost a quarter as much, and esp on a screen that small, it will work just fine.

But who ever carries their laptop around anyway? I mean, yeah, take it from the office to the car, or whatever, but play while carrying it? The laptop is just added portability for your computer.

Yes, I know, you get more performance per buck for a tower. But some people live lives that are more mobile than others, so we do what we have to.
