How powerful a laptop do I need?

[Belix]

Thanks again for your help.

You're welcome! Hope you enjoy your new laptop.

I have to confess that I am also a bit wary of Lenovo since the Lenovo Superfish malware debacle.

I am embarrassed to admit I forgot about that. But companies don't stay in business by ticking everyone off, so whenever something like this happens you can bet they'll sort that stuff out quickly so they can act like it never happened: "Superfish? What Superfish? "

I think that laptop came out several months before they started releasing new products with that stuff bundled on there, anyway. My buddy hasn't had any issues, and they played the heck out of Skyrim on it.

Hey, when you get your shiny new MSI, I'd be curious to hear how smooth it runs each of your games. My friends replace their laptops every few years and I trust the opinions of other people I can talk to for getting reliable insight into what kind of hardware can run what.

P.S.: Thanks for the link, I didn't know about this site. It may prove very useful.
