nowadays, laptop can't upgrade, only memory can upgrade.

always check and defrag your hard drive once a month.

i had got the same problem, and it work with check and defrag.

Well I'm looking at getting a gaming laptop here in the near future. The only requirement is that it can play Diablo 3 on the highest settings. Since I don't know what the specs are I'm just kinda looking at what to expect.

I'm looking at spending around $1,300 to $1,500 if it's worth the money. The brands that interest me the most right now are Toshiba, Asus, Alienware, and a few others.

Advice on i7 processors also appreciated. I'm assuming I won't absolutely need it but I am just preparing myself for whatever I need for the game. I won't be playing many other games aside from Diablo 3, I'm not a graphics whore, and I don't need the absolute top of the line. I'm expecting a decent processor and graphics card and that's about all I care about at this point.

lol, that's just crap I'm reading off of the thing on CCleaner. I'm an ignorant noob, I don't know how relevant this crap is, or even which specs matter. I've always just assumed my PC wasn't a gaming PC so it wouldn't really be able to run anything. I've never tried installing a PC game on this. I assume my system is worthless?

Can someone give me a general idea for what the minimum specs are to pretty much run any game well? How much does a good gaming PC typically cost anyways, are they cheaper these days? I haven't looked into it in ages.

i agree about that

I'm looking to spend roughly a thousand dollars on my laptop. The best deal ive found is a Dell Xps 15 -- $899, 2.5ghz i5 processor, Geforce GT 540M 2GB graphics card, 6gb ram,750gb hdd. Ive never shopped for a laptop, so if you guys have any better reccomendations in my price range then let me know.
