Hey Guys,

I'm looking at laptops, but I'm not sure which to choose. I need one that can comfortably run 2 runescape clients with a decent amount of RAM and CPU left over. What specs should I be looking for if thats what I need? What price would I be looking at?


Thanks,
Footy

Well IDK how much 'decent' is for left-over RAM/CPU, in your own terms, but anything where you'd have 50-75% + left over CPU (after 2 clients running) could cost anything around 2,000 USD. There are lots of laptop options to choose, RAM shouldn't need more than 4g, could possibly find a 6g and I'd max with 8g.

All depends on the 'quantities' you would want left over. Different processors use different % of CPU due to tier of processor - Ex = my current processor uses 3-5% per client, whereas another processor I have uses 50-60% per client

2000$??? Holy crap thats way more then I expected… I can get an alianware laptop for that. I just need To be able to run 2 clients and be able to browse the internet lag free. What processors should I be looking for that would be powerful enough?

Alienware lol.

I'd try intel core i3's - this, I think, should approx fit YT video internet browsing + 2 clients "safely." (Estimation, no proof)

Comparing prices, I'd never buy an alianware, perhaps a desktop case though.

Ok, thanks, I'll look into it.

I use Asus N53SV, 6 clients no lag :)

1500$!! I think I'll hold off for now then if those are the prices.

So this is up to 16g ram and only i3/i5/i7's, no?

Lol alienware, it is a company made to force kids into making their parents buy over priced boxes. Honestly any alienware computer can be made for about $500 cheaper, it is the case they charge insane for.

My lenovo y570 can run 5 bots comfortably, I don't really use any of its power though besides when I play graphic intense games (Which it can max on most with, using the graphics card that has to be switched on; if not switched on it uses sandy bridge graphics from the cpu)

I paid $1k for it

should be plenty for what you're looking for.. you didn't post a budget that I saw

don't confuse i3, i5 and i7 with desktop versions, there are no similarities other than the names.

6 clients would not even take 2gb of ram

Dammit, I need dat price range!! :D
