How can you not run SWTOR on max?

I just can't comprehend how in this day and age where i could buy a laptop for like 200-300 that could run the game on max settings that people still have computer from 1990 that get low fps still on low settings? i know everyone doesn't have money but somewhere within the 20 year span of having your computer surely saving 1 dollar a day could afford enough for a computer not still on DOS


Edit: some people are neglecting the fact i said low FPS on LOW settings , how you can possibly have a machine that old is beyond me any computer made within like 6 years would be able to run swtor fine

Edit: If you are gaming on a laptop in the first place what is wrong with you??

LOL. Some people are way cheap. I can't comprehend it either. PLUS they are the ones that keep game graphics on MMO's five generations behind. Bcuz mmos are supposed to have a graphics that a major audience can handle. If everyone had great gaming computers we would see MMOs with crysis graphics.

From what I've gathered reading on the forums there seems to be a problem with some graphics cards.

I wonder this too, good - decent computers are no longer expensive

Yea. The graphics cards in their eMachines. From 98.

That or integrated graphics. *shudder*

Not everyone builds their PC.

Oh God eMachines.. I remember those.

Laughed so hard at that.

Because some people can't afford higer specced machines and must play it at lower settings, as I will be when my invite comes, if I can play it at all.
Not everyone is priveleged to have the best system ever, or even a half decent systen.

Where would you buy such laptop? The game is not that low spec me thinks.

Same reason why people buy crap cars that lose almost all their value in 2 years.
