Another Lappy thread.

Post by Draquish »

I'm finally mustering up the money to buy one. I need your help!

Budget: ~$800
Uses: Minor gaming, audio mixing, minor movie watchin'.

I was thinking of this.

Any suggestions? (TigerDirect.com is preferred, I get a discount there)

Not bad but I didn't catch the HDD and the gfx card :/ Prolly not so good for that price. If you make that amount in euro you can get quite a nice 1 here in holland

Yes, Googleable is now a word, buy the latest dictionary, I Google, you Google, we Google, we're Googleing, we have Googled.

... For some reason i don't recall making that post.
Maybe it was meant for another thread.

i always thought it's "Googling" :roll:

draq, define "minor gaming", cuz i wouldn't count on that integrated graphic card to play any decent games at above min. graphic setting. unless u r talking about those non-graphic-intense games (like hearts of iron...).

It wouldn't matter, he's getting a laptop. Even if he wanted to do intense gaming, a laptop wouldn't be the fix and getting a desktop would be a better idea. Graphic card performance is not a consideration when buying a laptop.

Some people like portability more than the power , i like to sit with my notebook more than with desktop computer , the gfx card i have plays all the games i want to play just fine ...

Anyways i would recommend getting at least 8400m gs or if possible 8600gt , the 8600 will play almost any game out there right now pretty easily ( not on max of cource)

the x3100 which 2 of my friends have are barely even playing the old games , i mean unreal tournament ( the very first) had some lags with it , while 8400m gs could easily run 2004 unreal just fine.

Games:

Wc3 and some F2P side-scrolling mmos from time to time. Nothing "graphic intense".

I don't know about those side-scrolling mmos but anyways x3100 should work fine with wc3 , some people even manage to play wow with it so if it's the only requirements for you , you will be fine with the current setup ...
