My System Specs

i think it's fairly priced. 8cell battery, Intel PM45 performance mobile chipset (not SiS chipset), 3 speakers, bluetooth... it's a well rounded package

The Qosmio F30 ain't bleeding edge (like the X300-01G) but a budget of $1100 for a gaming laptop means you have to cut a few corners. The only other laptop i like in this thread is the Dell Studio 15 (fast proc, decent GPU, GM45 chipset, 9 cell battery (optional)).

while you should still get the best graphics card you can in ur laptop, TF2 is very cpu intensive, so make sure you get the best cpu you can afford


my friend just picked up an ACER gaming laptop that runs TF2 pretty well, you might want to look into those laptops.

As others have said TF2 is more about cpu, but that dosnt mean you cant skimp out on the video card. You need a dedicated graphics card to play it too. Dell has some good laptops with dedicated graphics chips now. check them out.
