June 27, 201213 yr What can I expect with getting this new laptop for FSX? http://www.techbargains.com/news_displayItem.cfm/304093 Sorry if this is in the wrong forum...
June 27, 201213 yr Its a good laptop for general use, however I would not reccomend it if you purely want to use it for FSX. AA would be very poo and the I5 and 4GB ram would limit frames and auto gen. Tim HeptinstallAirports I have been to: Doncaster Robin Hood Airport EGCN, East Midlands (EGNX), Manchester (EGCC), Tenerife South/Reina Sofia Airport (GCTS), Fuerteventura Airport (GCFV), New York John F Kennedy International Airport (KJFK)Aircraft I have travelled on: 737-800 (Thomson), 737-800WL (Thomson, Ryanair), 757-200 (Thomson, Thomas Cook), 757-200WL (Thomson, Thomas Cook, American Airlines), De Havilland Dragon Rapide (Classic Wings G-AIYR). Currently studying Aeronautical Engineering at Sheffield Hallam University (UK). Applying for medicals to start PPL soon. Message me if you would like to share stories/progress.

Even my machine runs at a perfectly smooth 30fps with high autogen and all sorts of scenery. Not everyone runs the NGXs of this world and an i5-2500k with even 4 gigs of ram is a great FSX machine for most people. But I must reiterate to the OP... don't get that laptop for FSX, it's not the ideal i5 and the graphics will let you down badly. It really is much more economical, and flexible, to build a desktop for FSX.

It is the mobile version which has only two cores and low voltage technology which makes it perform even worse.
