green or red being better in laptops, need one to run SC13 on medium

[ExoMale]

from a cpu thread im thinking of ditching my intel pc for a nice laptop as i use my slow laptop more than pc and as i cant afford 300 quid plus gaming ones, im looking again at the more consumer ones that i could still game on a bit, but wondered if nvidia still better like the desktop segment?

i have been in the mood to play sim city 2013 again, try out city skylines and anno 2205, maybe get NMS oh and the forrest, so ideally something that can run them all around medium settings, thats all i want to play aside from oldies.

thanks for reply.

i am a big shooters gamer or games like fallout type etc, but aside from fallout, i play more of those games and gta for example amongst car games on xbox one, so really for pc now, im more interested in the strategy type games, i might try some indie like games, but my gaming is not of a high demand, so as gaming laptops even from £350 for a ROG as an example are out my reach and wouldnt use the potential fully anyways, i am looking more to i5/i7 with dedicated 700-800 series nvidia(or a mid-high 600) or whatever the AMD equivalents would be or an APU with graphics performance similar to 600/700m from nvidia, something that could run those games ive mentioned on atleast medium, i wont be playing games all the time, but i want it to have some sort of gaming potential.

as im looking more to older models, i think £200 for a consumer based is a good maximum, i had seen before i7 4c/8 with low-mid range 600m graphic cards for around £150, but for laptop wise i wont be fussed if its green team or red, not amd based discrete are common it seems outside of an APU.

just a quick update:

ive changed my mind on things now, it would be silly to get rid of my intel pc, certainly for laptop types i cant afford, so im going to get rid of my AM1 system to fund the laptop instead

ive also changed my mind on the games, i will play the oldies still, but i mainly play the types like School Tycoon as i like those building sort of games, but for the more demanding like games, i am just going to go with sim city 2013, i would happily waste hours on that game on a laptop than anno and others and as it isnt as demanding as the other 2, i shouldnt need to aim too high on laptops.


according to 'can i run it' feature on game-debate, my i3 + 610 goes above the minimum and has a suggested 'medium' setting with the 610 being the weaker link, ive just checked a 2nd gen i3 2370m with HD3000 and thats the same story, seems to meet medium settings with the intel graphics being the weaker link, seen a nice pavilion G6 with that i3, but i question purposely buying a dx10 laptop.
