How is the performance of this laptop?
I'm looking at buying a Toshiba Satellite P870 as a replacement for my currently dying laptop. This will be my main computer, and as such I would like it to run some specific programs.
The specs are:
Intel® Core™ i7-3610QM Processor 2.30GHz (3.30GHz with Turbo Boost Technology 2.0), 6MB L3 Cache
Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit, SP1
12GB DDR3 1600MHz SDRAM (4GB + 4GB + 4GB)
256GB SSD (Solid State Disk, Serial ATA) (Boot Drive)
640GB 2nd HDD (5400rpm, Serial-ATA)
2GB GDDR3 NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 630M with NVIDIA® Optimus™ Technology
DVD SuperMulti drive
harman/kardon® Quad speakers
Intel® Wireless LAN (802.11b/g/n) + Intel® Wireless Display Ready* + Bluetooth® v.4.0
How will this preform for the following games at medium or better?
Guild Wars 2 (this is the important one)
Saints Row 3
Civilization 5 (also a really wanted game)
Anno 2070
Diablo 3
Fallout 3
Skyrim

Overall it's a pretty good laptop. The only thing I have to say is the graphics card might be a little weak. It handles modern games usually on low-med settings. I'd definitely try to find a computer with the nvidia 650m. Check out the link in the source box for the benchmarks to decide for yourself.
