Hey, I am new to this forum so I hope I'm posting this in an appropriate place. I have two questions.

1. Will the following computer run Diablo 3?

2. For $825 is this computer a good deal? (I feel as though it is but I am so out of touch and the industry is progressing so rapidly I just wanted to make sure).

Thanks in advance for your replies!

It's a pretty good deal, but I'm always leery about recommending any laptop for gaming, unless it's a super-uber awesome one. Especially if it's going to be for a game that hasn't been officially released yet.

With that said, going off of the listed required specs on Blizzard's site it should run fine, at what settings that you will be playing it at smoothly, that depends on a lot of factors that are hard to predict.

Yeah, but there are some better deals to be had hardware wise, but the quality will suffer some

But if they get it beck in stock ASUS is pretty good, although they seem to be getting bad reviews lately, so not too sure

But if you don't mind the extra cost, this is a decent step up

then there's this

Here's a gpu comparison chart, for the processor, any i5 or i7 will do, but the 2000 ones are better than the others (2000's are the newest ones and are faster than the older ones at the same speed, ie, i7-2670 will do more than a 720 if they are both at 1ghz)

I deal with a lot of Dell Latitudes at work... A lot of them overheat , If you get this computer get the 3 year warranty or Try looking at an Asus or Samsung
