Excuse Me,

Core i7 740QM 1.7
Ram 16 GB
GTX 460 M

He wants me to buy about 48000¥ (japan yen)
Mu quest is, is that ok if i pay for that cost??? or may be all of u sir, have an advice for me??
And if im buy that, is the laptop capable to run game like GTA 5, Watch Dog 2 etc??
Is that Worth sir???
I hope all of you want give your time to answer my question
Oh and he gave me time to check his laptop for 2 weeks, when i say oke, then deal,

 

It's hard to say, since we don't know the prices and stuff in Japan. 450 USD or 48000 seems expensive tho. Also the GTX 460M won't handle new games at all. you'd need to update the card. I think there are better deals out there.

 

thanks for reply sir but sir i saw on youtube, that the laptop is powerfull enough to run gta V with normal setting smoothly, and gta iv we knew as heavy game this laptop could run high 30 fps, how do u think?? and also he gave me the hdd sir and ssd

 

No, GTA 5 is one of the most optimized games out there. It doesn't run GTA 5 smoothly at all, the game runs only around 25-40FPS, which looks smooth on youtube because of the rendering. It will not run watch dogs 2 without a complete lagfest, forget any new games on the GTX 460M.

Here, this is how the GTX 460 on new games and this one is much more powerful than your 460M:


Forget witcher 3 and other new games. But you can upgrade the graphicscard to somthing much more powerful and to get good performance.

 

You can upgrade 460M -> 970M, and 720qm -> 920XM and play many games smoothly
Your friend ask too much for this laptop, offer 20000¥

 

oh my god, im so surprised, is that the fact that the laptop didnt have power like i though before, but really thanks for your advice, and give me that video for refference me, im appreciated that, may be id like to cancel the payment, but however the stuff was being send to me, or may be can u give me advice if other gaming laptop with budget about 50000¥ sir, it very very useful for me, and also in japan, i didnt know how to upgrade the laptop, japan is confusing, alot of electronic device but expensive

 

thanks for ur reply sir but thats impossible to down price to 20000¥ like kick on his face, coz first he want me to buy by 60000¥ and i decide to pay 40000¥ hhe , may be can u give me advice?

 

buy from USA and ship to Japan will be much cheaper.

 

what is your recommendation??

 

Actually maybe not, prices in USA are now very high for M15x, probably because it is a vintage machine now. Maybe you have luck buying from this forum, post in the want to buy section in the marketplace. People ask crazy money for this old machine.

 

ehhh??? what do u mean sir??? or may be just move on to ps4 pro hhe

 

Better idea I think, M15x easily defeated by PS4 Pro.

 

acctually, ive got a , i dunno how to say this is laptop or something what, but it was surface pro 2, in ur opinian is the SP2 can capable to play game??i mean good game? i plan to play RE6 on it, and buy on steam can it?

 

Definitely no, Surface pro 2 has no dGPU, poor CPU, cannot play more than Age of Empires 2

 

ow bad, or may be just game on bluestack or nox hhe play rule of survival hhe

 

35000 Y is probably the max you should pay for this

 

Hey, Aan FR. I live in Japan, and I agree with Raidriar. The prices for gaming laptops in Japan are crazy. It's often cheaper to order from the US. For a little more money than what you were thinking you could buy a newer, faster laptop like the Acer Nitro with an i5 7300HQ CPU and a 1050Ti GPU and enjoy it right away.
