    Hello all,

    I'm based in the UK and my laptop has just died. Time for a new one and with diablo 3 out I wouldn't mind if it could run that.

    Amazon, dabs, overclockers, micro direct.

    Any reputable UK website I would buy from (and ebay if the deal is right).

    Could you suggest some laptops that will be able to handle it I can't find a recommended graphics card list for laptops but this is the pc one:

    Video Card Support for Diablo III - Battle.net Support

    My budget is around £500-600 GBP. (

    P.S I posted it here since graphics seems to be the big issue.

    What settings do you want to run D3 at? Maxed, 60 fps @1080 or something else?

    I don't need maxed everything, but I would prefer not to have to turn everything off in order to have a playable experience

    I'm in the same boat as you my friend.

    I'm in Greece and i'm trying to find a 15" screen laptop that will play diablo 3 and guild wars two fluently at it's native resolution.

    I'm jealous of the Americans cause they have so many options and amazing prices compare to Europe. For you guys in the UK it's not even that bad. Here in Greece we don't even get most of the models with decent GPU's so the alternative is to order one from UK or Europe but then the shipping cast and some extra paypal charges make the laptop 100€ more expensive.

    The one laptop that would be pretty good for our needs is the Lenovo Y480. Check out the huge discount Lenovo is offering!!!!
    But of course I don't think it's out in Europe yet :mad:
