I kind of agree with Khelben. You obviously don’t meet the modern day gaming specs. Keep looking around. You can find a lot out there.
Let me give you a few tips.
- Your memory is 2GB? Come on. There’s laptops that are somewhat the same price as what this old piece of junk is. Most computers today come with 4GB.
- Your Hard Drive, I’d think a little more. Maybe like 250?
Also, Add the prices to additional details and I’ll get back to you on details for suggestions on gaming laptops. Cheap and off the shelf awesomeness.
[UPDATE TO RESPAWN]
Geez. Dude thats mad cheap. No wonder. Well mate you’re going to have to earn a little more Mola to earn your way to a Gaming Computer. Right now these two computers are basically business computers. Raise up to $1,000 and you can aim for that great ass computer that everyone will love. Look at the link to a trusted shopping center for computer/laptops. You might find something you’ll like.
[3rd Update]
Sorry for the late response. Well, Then you’re probably fine. then But just for the sake of minor updates. Your total will just probably be a 100$ more. For your standards, you should go for the second choice. It’s pretty decent. But add 2 more GB of memory to it. Hope it helped! 160GB Hard Drive is fine as long as you don’t download SO much crap.
So,
- Get the ACER Extensa EX4420-5237
- Add 1-2 more GB of RAM to it (3-4GB Total)
- and don’t download so much stuff.

If these two are the best laptops you can find then obviously you haven’t been looking very hard. If push came to shove the second laptop is better. The Latitude D810 is over 3 years old. Both are going to be terrible for gaming.

Agree with other answers. Both of these laptops are bad. If you absolutely have to get one of these, then the Acer is superior. But those specs are incredibly bad for gaming. You could go to Wal-Mart and spend 500-600 bucks and get something that will be just fine for running Counter Strike and WoW…
