1st question: Is this on what you plan on buying, if so whats the cost, or what you already own

2nd question: If this is what you already own, how well does it run the current games in your library?

It'll probably run the game on low. Depends on your graphics chipset.

For what it is worth:

I've got Samsung S9 laptop i5 3317U (9003XC), a few years old now?, not sure how it compares to your "prospective" laptop but the intel graphics on mine sucks (as one would expect of Intel).

It has a low power processor (the U?) and I ran SpinTires as an experiment. Running it windowed mode under Wine (so not even the real bloat of Microsoft Windows), the laptop got hot and noisy very quickly and I really wouldn't run the game for more than 15 minutes than I did.

ETS2 or Scania Truck Driver graphically were too taxing for my laptop when I still had a Windows 7 partition large enough to try it. FS13 (the previous version of Farming Simulator) was similar with regards heat and the fan spinning up like a demented thing - it is usually ultra quiet when I am just browsing or doing email.

From a personal lvl and from some one who has had a desktop for nearly a year I wouldnt recommend buying a laptop for gaming, even if its on designed for it. I used to think ppl who said that kind of thing were elitist pricks but I see their point.

You could probably get a way with running the game but dont expect to much. Personally I would recommend you save your cash and get a decent system over a laptop, unless you really need it for other things or have no other choice. I built mine for just under £600 (rounding off @ $900) so its do-able

Frames dont really matter in FS, 20-30 is livable you dont really need to be running a constant 50-60 for this game. Its only when it goes below 20 that you will have issues. The other option is you got to can I run it or the equivalent site and check the stats there

If you're just a casual gamer and aren't looking to run everything on high, I'd say you would be fine.

I run Euro Truck Sim 2, FS15, Skyrim, and others on Low or Med on my Toshiba Satellite Intel Pentium 2.5GHz and 6G of RAM with Windows 10 and everything is smooth as butter, even modded through the roof.

Jules, I have been with FS since 2012 haha

[68C50]

And thanks everyone.. I game a lot.

I would have thought that if you have been playing since 2012 and game a lot then you would know the performance capabilities of the computer you are aiming to buy.

[thekungflu]

It should

[jules.stmp537]

If you set the graphics to low or med in this game or ETS2 you don't get working mirrors. How can anyone drive a truck in ETS2 without mirrors?

Maybe the "paving" slab laptops fair better than my very little weight laptop? I don't game on my laptop.

That's incorrect. Mirrors are seperate in ETS2 just open up advanced options and you can tweak away.

The computer listed will run the game just fine.
