Can anyone recommend a laptop capable of playing eve, even on the lowest of visual settings? I know EVE never supported the old Intel graphics but how are things with the new Intel 4000 series GPUs or the new AMD integrated GPUs?

I will be on the road traveling quite a bit beginning this fall and into next year. I just need something capable of logging in to maintain skills and do some basic PVE flying and travel. I don't PVP at the moment and can't afford a high-end "gaming" laptop.

Thanks.

As far as I am aware, the new intel 4000 gfx are actually not that bad. Certainly as far as logging in for your needs are concerned, it will do fine.

As for laptop idea, I always say, dont skimp on the cpu, and if you can get a dedicated gfx card too.

My dell xps l702x runs eve on high graphics, and every other game you throw at it, gt555m 3gb gfx card and 8gig ram, can be picked up pretty cheap on ebay with a dell 3 year warranty where they come to ypur home and fix the laptop for you.

Cpu isnt as important you want an i5 or better
