    Default Laptops that can play Shogun 2

    Hey guys so I find out that when I move for my new job I have to ditch the desktop and get a laptop computer, which is kind of gutting for me being mostly a PC gamer.
    Anyway, I was wondering if there are laptops out there that can play Shogun 2 or what kind of specs I need for a laptop to play it decently, i'm pretty un-co when it comes to this kind of stuff so any help would be pretty cool.

    You might want to try asking about high-end gaming laptops over in the hardware forum. That's where most of the knowledgeable folk congregate.

    You're not likely to find the prices of a notebooks that can run S2 decently to your liking, is my guess...

    ASUS G74 will run Shogun 2 at high/ultra high settings.

    I have the same model, but it overheats when I use it. I've checked everything, the ventilation is fine. Can anyone help?

    That's been my point all along. This isn't a game easily run on a notebook.

    If I'm running this on a hand built desktop, with specialized cooling, and I'm still pushing the cooling to the point where things are audible when I run shogun 2 on ultra, then every notebook is going to struggle with this game by definition, because no notebook no matter how much it costs has cooling comparable to my desktop.

    The solution is to turn down the settings and run it on a notebook, or run it on a desktop to get to higher settings.
