I have never owned a laptop before. I usually build my desktops myself but havent in some time. I am looking to move from a desktop to a laptop as a primary PC. The only game i really play at the moment is EQ2 so i would need something that could run that. Im thinking since im replacing from a 24" monitor desktop that the 17.3" size would be best.

Not knowing anything about laptops really are their any youd recommend in that size that play EQ2 on nice/high settings? Other than that i do the usual, email, surf web, netflix, youtube, music etc. Im not a heavy gamer nor usually gravitate to the latest and greatest game titles.

Do the intel i7 on board graphics cut it for EQ2 or would an actual video card still be required?

Thanks

EQ2 is an odd beast, i tried it on a 15" lenovo Y570 with the GT555m card and while it ran, trying to crank up the detail made it slow and choppy, would recommend something with a dedicated gpu for acceptable framerates and a decent cpu for when there are lots of people on screen
