Hey there,
I'm interested in picking up a small laptop that can run AC very well. Any recommendations? I'm looking for something dirt cheap.

I've got a Samsung N120. Don't expect it to run like a laptop/pc, but it works.

Netbooks suck. You can get a cheap laptop for $300 now days. Also, don't expect a Chromebook to run AC because it doesn't.

Guess I'll switch it up then; cheapest laptop that could run AC extremely well?

why dont you spend $800 on a decent laptop or desktop and get near on 1000 fps

FTR the majority of laptops available now should give you at least a stable 125fps in AC (even ones with integrated graphics). if you want 1000fps you'll probably end up needing to spend $900 USD or more (but nobody needs 1000 in AC, it's just a myth).

Also, what settings do you use? If you're okay with 'low', then basically any $300 laptop will do that 75+ fps.

Well, I will be upgrading to a Macbook Pro 15" over the holidays (the higher-end one with the great graphics card), but I am not as of this moment planning on bootcamping, unless the Windows 7 disc that I purchased brand-new a few years ago can be reinstalled on a new machine.
It could just be my dated computer crapping out on me (currently using a 6-year old Macbook Pro), but I turned all graphics settings down to the minimum while playing windowed on OS X (it's the only way AC runs on Mac OS X for this version), and my fps was flying all over the place, usually hovering around 24-45 frames per second. I used to be able to play full screen with a constant 75 FPS. I have seen people with very cheap, small netbooks, and I figured they could run AC just fine. If I found one for a great, dirt cheap price, it might be worth it to pick up for playing AC, taking around campus, etc.

You can run AC on a Chromeboo if you install a Linux Distro on it :P
