Okay, so I was thinking of saving up some money to get a computer decent enough to play New Vegas, even if it's close to the lowest settings.

Since I'm like a stereotypical blonde when it comes to computers I need some help on this.
And I had my eye on this one: http://cdon.se/hemelektronik/15inch_fujitsu_lifebook_ah530_intel_i3-380m_4gb_320gb_15.6_w7hp_hd6530-14001789

Would this computer be able to play Fallout New Vegas or is it utter crap?

(If this is in the wrong forum then mods feel free to move it to the correct forum.)

I wouldn't get a laptop for a gaming PC, but a short answer is: Yes, it would. However I think most prebuilt desktops may be more expensive than a laptop, and as you don't know anything about computers, building one from different parts is out of the question. And I don't know which websites would ship to Sweden so I don't know where to look for suggestions.

That'll do New Vegas fine, definetly, but ~500€ seems quite much for that system. Or is Sweden exceptionally expensive when it comes to computers?

Also, re-post this question here: http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1207079-the-community-tech-thread-no-102/. That's where all the hardcoe tech gurus hang out :hehe:

Since I'm awful at computers, don't like window shopping and hate hearing someone brilliant about computers talk about a bunch of rubbish (in my ears) I don't have a lot of options.
Since I don't have a "real" credit card either I can't order one from anywhere I want either.
And the price range can't be too high since I live on welfare.

So my options really are limited.
If this one is decent enough for New Vegas then so be it.
Don't really have the time/knowledge/interest/patience to learn about computers enough to know what is a good deal or a bad deal.
So if this one is decent enough then so be it, no matter the price, I'll just simply be out of cigarettes for a month.

The system looks decent to me. I am gaming NV on a much inferior laptop with all the Enhanced Shaders, Cinematech, Imaginator and Dynavision kind-of-shinies btw. :biggrin:

But like Tojka said, doesn't ~500€ seem too much?

The other computers I saw were ranging from 6000 to 12000 kronors. (I'm guessing 10 kronors=1Euro in direct transfer)
So since this one is 4500 kronors I consider it a bargain. (Then again, what do "I" know. )

The price doesn't seem absolutely horrendous for that system, really. I bet you could find better deals but it seems you don't actually care that much. Also, I see it comes with 64-bit Win7, which is good as you would otherwise have to get a new operating system with the computer . . . Hm. Basic answer is that it will definitely run the game, so just use your own discretion if you want to pay that much for it.

I checked the finnish version of that store, and that same system sells for 500€ there. Seems to be just the shop (or brand) that's exepensive. Still that's not a terrible rip-off so if you can afford it and can't get it anywhere cheaper, go for it

On a completely offtopic note, hey dinosaurs, guess what I got around to finally finish!
