I recently upgraded to a Toshiba Satellite laptop and was surprised to find out that it’s Ati Radeon Mobilty HD 2400 did Bully: Scholarship Edition amazingly well. As a test  I copied the bulk of my games over to the laptops tiny 200gb hd (It will have 500gb later on) to do testing and found that most of my other games work good too.

Despite the Ati Radeon Mobilty HD 2400 being a sub par series it works good enough for me. Due to the fact i don’t care about Anti-aliasing that wasn’t issue.

In the end if you do casual games and don’t care about high frame rate you can get away with a standard laptop as long as it has a semi modern graphics processor.

My test games were:

Half-Life 2
Half-Life 2: Episode One
Half-Life 2: Episode Two
Portal
Garry’s Mod
Bully: Scholarship Edition
