are toshiba satelitte laptops good for gaming?

im thinking of getting a 3gb ram or 4 gbram toshiba satelite laptop, are they good with running games like halo1, halo2, san andreas, battlefield, and with new games like gears of war, and gta 4

I don't think so, but I don't know much about the Satallite line. Post the specs of the laptops you're looking at.

Don't bother gaming on a laptop.

what laptops would you guys suggest to me? i am fifteen, i am thinking of getting a toshiba, or an laptop, maybe even a compaq, which should i get? thank yoU!Pitbulllova

Asus and Gateway both have good gaming laptop lines. Be prepared to spend at least $800-900 for a good one though. My P7811FX cost me $1,250 and that laptop was considered a steal a year ago for that price. What you want to pay closest attention to is the GPU and CPU. RAM is pretty standard among all manufacturers and can be easily upgraded in most laptops. GPUs are often where a manufacturer will try to skim costs/rip off an unsuspecting consumer.

May I was ask why you're looking at a gaming laptop though? For most people they're not ideal gaming solutions since laptop hardware is much more expensive and can't be upgraded. The only reason I bought a gaming laptop was because a desktop was out of the question for my living arrangement last year at college. If you're 15 though I don't imagine you're living in a cramped dorm, travel a lot, or have any other reason to have to constantly move your computer. I think a desktop would be a much better investment for you.

edit: just saw your other post. That laptop is not for gaming. The GPU is crap.

The laptop you posted has intel integrated video, so it will be worthless for gaming.

I agree. There are instances, for example when living in a dorm room, where it's just not practical to have a desktop.

The OP should take a look at this laptop:

Sony Vaios usually have pretty good build quality and it has a good GPU.
