So I was wondering whether anyone who has any technical knowledge could tell me how this computer would react to SC2, and on what level the graphics could be set at while maintaining good performance. Also, $1200 is my maximum budget.

None.

When gaming with a laptop, the rule of thumb is usually to never have your graphics higher then medium.
Generally I also do not like refurbished laptops.

This would run SCII just fine, and is well under 1200 dollars.

I don't at all like the one you posted in that link. It's from ebay for one, and it's graphics card is meh thus nullifying how great the CPU is. If you were to get an i7 core I would recommend this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152211 as it has a graphics card able to compliment the CPU.



None.

Ultraviolet -- That's strange, it looks like you targeted the base image file (sometimes people make the mistake of just using the imgur page link which doesn't work for embedding) but it still didn't work it sounds like.

ManCubuS -- Even tried with imgur, doesn't attach.

ManCubuS -- I should try a workaround, thanks! Sadly imgur is blocked in my country for some unknown reason.

NudeRaider -- I think SEN has trouble with https or hotlinking is forbidden. It certainly is nothing about the size, it just fails to get any size. You can get it working if you use imgur and include the actual image link for the img tag. Like this: [img=https://i.imgur.com/ddYqXZa.jpeg]

ManCubuS -- Hey fellas! Anyone knows why when I try to upload an image it says "failed to get image size"? I even tried making it so small. Imgur isn't working here and I tried postimg no luck.

Oh_Man -- true
