Who here has a laptop?
« on: March 29, 2002, 01:51:31 PM »
Ok i am looking at getting a new PC laptop, as the PC i have at the moment is getting very old and slow.
I haven\'t played a PC game in quiet a while, and that is mainly because my PC is ****, so i am looking at a laptop, as that way i can take my laptop with me to my girlfriends house, and then i can play my games and not hog the TV.
So is a laptop good enough to play games on?
it will be about 1 GHz and i will bump it up to about 5** of RAM(or what ever it can take) which should sort out XP.
Also can you get graphics cards to go in them? like the new GForce 4? if not a Gforce 4 card then what?

I\'m also looking for a Laptop PC. Mine is a bit old too and a I need to buy another one. Anyway I\'ll hope till next Christmas cause I\'ve not a lot of money saved. Furthermore, a laptop is not very easy to update as a normal PC, so by the next year, they will have 64bit processor and better components.

Yes, 1 GHZ is good for a laptop. If I were you, I would hope till, at least, this summer, IMO. Graphic cards? Sure, why not? However, they\'re not very easy to change and update, as I said you before.

i have a laptop, PIII 900mhz, 256mb sdram, 30gig HD, 8x DVD, 15" display, modem/nic combo, 16bit sound, and a 16mb ATI mobility 128bit vid card.

its a great laptop, and the vid card is decent, but it doesn\'t do opengl, so i can\'t play some good games on it(the ones that use the quake 3 engine).  if you want to get a laptop for gaming, get one with a geforce GO vid card or an ATI radeon mobility card, those to cards are nice, BUT, you have to buy the laptop that has the card you want, graphics cards are built into the computer, tied in with the motherboard, you can\'t upgrade you graphics card in the future, main upgradeable parts in a laptop is ram and hard drive.  Dells and Gateways come with the geforce go vid cards, i have a gateway, people say it sucks, but i never had a problem with them, look into it.  i think toshiba laptops also come with the geforce vid cards, those are available at bestbuy, but i would go with dell or gateway.

This one should be able to handle the games

But seriously, while laptops are nice they are no replacement for real desktop computers, I know I\'d never be satisfied with only my laptop at home, I need my big boy.
