Laptop for Trainz 12

I have been looking at laptops to run my Trainz 12 on. Any comments on this one.

Well, the HD 3000 is certainly an improvement, but with Trainz being as demanding as it is I would be looking more for the i7 core and the HD 4000 chip. I'm sure Trainz will be playable, but you may have to use lower screen resolutions in some situations. If that's where your budget is, then there's not much you can do.

I have an I5 in my Desktop, and Trainz runs with no problem, and the processor isn't even breathing hard. Often the I5 has higher clock speeds which can match or even exceed I7 performance in games, with the I7 running at a lower clock speed.
