Whats the best laptop?

I heard this one is pretty good. Also this one ain't bad. If they don't do it, you can always try this one.


Pretty much any laptop can play the original Half-Life without too much trouble.

That 10" Vaio had a 7 hour battery or something. The new ThinkPad lasts about the same time.

You really mean Half Life 1? My calculator can run that  

up urs i wanted someones opinion that was an enthusiets like me. o and dont ever post on this thread again unless u got something constructive AND relavent to say. sorry 4 bad grammer to laze to spel it al  .

meant 2 sorry. basicly something i can use for school and a little low rez gaming here and there.

I post whenever I fell the urge to do so. And by the way; this was meant to be a joke. No need to be upset there.

lol, i just passed my cursor over the link to see what u referenced, and i was not suprised at all, i needed that after visiting the "Conroe bug found" thread.

Even THIS ONE will play HL1. Just buy another 512MB of RAM (for a total of 768), and format the HDD/reinstall Windows with that disk that comes with it. Pretty much any laptop will play HL1, even the ones with integrated graphics.

i wasnt mad at u it was the other guy. sorry bad memories of sidvis (holds self in fetal position).

HL2 i meant.

How much can you spend?

Now that IS something different...

Im willing to go up to 1k, including needed upgrades (like 1Gb of ram).

if u are not averse to refurbished laptops u can check out dell's refurbished site,

www.outlet.dell.com

i have bought from them myself, the laptops are great, and cheaper, they come with the same warrantee as new laptops.

I couldnt find a scratch or problem with my refurbished 9100 , works like a charm.

Laptops ar egenerally more expensive i you want to play games. Youcan't get an Intel IGP. You need at least a Radeon or GeForce Go.


Somethign like this would probably play at 800x600.

Turion


Most of the Centrinos have the Intel graphics which will get you about 10 fps.

Pffft theres heaps of centrinos with x1600's and similar cards.

Actually you can get a dell 9400/E1705 for approx $1000, WITH A Core Duo 1.66Ghz, 512MB, 17" screen & a 7900gs

You have to use a coupon though

I'm planning on selling my 9300 to buy one  

Nice. I don't think we get any coupon action over here. I really want one of those 24 inch widescreens they've got.

I dont live in the US either, but it only costs me $50 US to ship a laptop from the US to my door.

Are you sure there isnt a refurbished dell site for your region? would be suprised if there wasnt, unless dell channels all returned pc's to the US refurbished site.

You can order a good laptop from cyberpower or ibuypower in the US for reasonable prices and if you don't live in the US you can probably get a good barebone and some parts to make a good laptop for gaming.

well i should explain a little more, i have (or will have) a powerful desktop where i do all my high powered gaming (everything crancked up no holds bar) and then the laptop which i will use for school and a little gaming when im bored in class  .

hmm that makes me think, can u acculy build a laptop like u build a desktop? is it cheaper by doing it yourself?

Its not cheaper, and you wont get the parts u really want, like high end laptop GPU's

I mean sure u can buid one, but its unlikely u'll get the gaming laptop u really want.

Boo !

if there's millions of Centrinos I'm sure there are. I've seen them but not for $1000. ALL Turions have nVidia or ATi.

just look around, it isn't that hard. sony, toshiba, dell, even mac has some stuff now with some adjustments in OS. go and search their websites for the smaller type of laptops as i'm sure you don't want to be lugging around a heavy laptop. and read the specs on the site. if you want reviews on something specific, you might be able to get it here or here. hope that helps.

.......and SIS and VIA

i got my inspiron 9300 for $1100 with a go 6800, i will always go to dell and i'll always get more features for less money, dell's coupon system is amazing.

you did get the four year warranty right? just as a warning you might run into a costly problem like i have and a lot of other people that have dell laptops...

Centrino covers a bigger market then turion does.

Nope, standard 1 yr warrantee, i always sell my laptop within a year of purchase, i'm selling my 9300 now to get a e1705/9400

ahhhh, i guess that would work also. lol

Weight isnt an issue, I carry around 20-30 pounds of stuff per day on my back or arms.

if you are looking for an affordable , but powerful laptop,

you can price a inspiron e1705 for approx 1300 with all u would need, icluding the 7900GS, and its 7.5 lbs, check for coupons @ www.gottadeal.com/dell.php

Only if u hate dell from some past exeprience will i understand you not checking it out, i've only had good experiences so i'll never look elsewhere for my laptops.

The best laptop I ever had was in this club in Phoenix - a $10 cover, but the girls were outstanding....

Oops - sorry wrong thread.

Cheers.

lol, I bet u loved the ultra wide ones.
