Guess 2 year minimum.
11_If you would like to mention some other things about purchasing your ideal laptop, post them.
Just looking for a decent video card and 2gigs memory to run Warhammer efficiently.
Gonna be moved around alot, from office to home everyday so a more durable one would be nice. Plus I have a 1 year old running around. eep!
12_Please tell us about the brands that you prefer to buy from them and the brands that you don't like and explain the reasons.
Not much knowledge of laptop brands so none of this hehe.
Well. . . lemme see. . .
Acer Aspire AS7720
Minimally configured MSI GX600 or GX610
HP is having a sale right now. . . dv series with an 9200 GS gets you just under $700.
cool thank you!
Checked them out at best buy the other day but wasn't sure if the video card onboard would be recognized by games.
I'm not too laptop savy so I don't know what the built in vid cards are for them.
