I hate asking computer questions, but should I go with the more expensive Asus G72Gx model, or the less expensive Asus K50IJ model? Does the K50 meet the games requirement, I'm not very good with all this technical stuff.

    While they both meet the minimum system requirements for the game, I would strongly recommend the G72Gx model. In my experience, integrated Intel graphics chipsets like the one in the K50IJ has tend to be rather lacking in power, and Windows Vista just has problems in general.

    So would the K50IJ lag the game down a lot?

    Thanks for your time, I really appreciate it.

    Like what do you mean by "lacking in power"?

    Think of it like this.

    You want to boil some water. This represents the game, and the quality/performance.

    You can either use a lighter, which lacks power, but eventually, the water will boil. The lighter's purpose isnt for boiling water, but it can. Just like the intel chip, its integrated, and not suitable for 3d games

    Or, you can use a gas stove top, which is much more powerful, and will boil the water faster, and overall, be less of a PITA. This is like the other laptop, which has the gtx260 (err, this is via memory. Links wont load for a second time for some reason).
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.
