I have decided to replace my old work laptop with the M1710. Before I submit my order I figure I should ask you guys who know a lot about laptops. The goal is to run games like Bioshock and Enemy Territory (QuakeWars) at high settings. Please let me know if I will reach my goal. The specs are:
PROCESSOR Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T7400 (2.16GHz, 4MB L2 Cache, 667 MHz FSB)
OPERATING SYSTEM Genuine Windows® XP Media Center Edition 2005
MEMORY 1GB DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHZ, 2 DIMM
HARD DRIVE Speed: 80GB SATA Hard Drive (7200RPM)
OPTICAL DRIVE 24X CD Burner/DVD Combo Drive
VIDEO CARD 512MB NVIDIA® GeForce™ 7950 GTX
WIRELESS CARDS Intel PRO/Wireless 3945a/g
BATTERY OPTIONS 80 WHr 9-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery
SOUND OPTIONS Integrated Audio
I would go with 2GB of RAM and a DVD burner, which shouldn't run you a lot more, but definitely the RAM. Keep it mind it costs a lot more to upgrade and laptop than a PC so it's usually best to get it the way you want it. Also would consider getting at least 120GB hdd but preferably 160GB
