$600 Budget Laptop able to play WSE2?

Anyone know of a $600 Budget Laptop able to play WSE2? I assume it will be AMD everything to meet the price and performance.
Thanks in advance

"$600 budget laptop" means absolutely nothing. Without the specs, we can't tell.

Depends on the gfx card. If integrated, you might have to run it on low.

I think this would run it. Still looking for christmas specials I'm sure I can find a HD 7900 series i-chip somewhere

I think you misread the post, I was asking if you knew of one that is able to play it.

This may be the winner if I dont find a cheaper one. I just hate the resolution. Right now I'm running dx7 at 1600x900 on my laptop

I definitely did. :D
As Ozin said, the most important thing is that it has a discrete graphics card.

I play WSE2 at work with a notebook x401a asus , it was about $350.  I am able to play it with 640x480 all low setting.  It is playable ( I have tried it for a couple hours only), It gets around 40 to 49 fps, but the notebook is getting hot really quick and the fan is blowing really loud, so I am still playing it without wse most of the time.  I don't want to kill it; I have it for 3 months only.

This is fine for crpg. I have almost the same(i3 & GT610 & 6GB RAM) & about 60-80fps. This one will give you >100fps.

Why would you want a Notebook in the first place?

Get a used desktop-pc cheap and slam in a middle-class gfx card and enjoy all settings maxed  :shock:
