I want teh kotor 3 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I'm in the market for a laptop, and wanted to know if you have any recomendations, I have around $1500. In 7th grade, I teach the students how Chuck Norris took down the Roman Empire, so it is good that you are starting early on this curriculum. R.I.P.

Gorgon Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I think that's what you call a contradiction in terms. Gaming laptop that is. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samm Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Yeah, does it have to be a laptop? Because you can get a more than decent gaming system with $1500, but only a laptop that may run your games with ok settings. If it has to be a laptop, you can look for something that has a geforce 8700m or an ati radeon hd3850 mobile or better. Processors are mostly fast enough if they're dual core at 2.2GHz or above with 2GB RAM, but the graphics "cards" are mostly jokes.

My desktop is in no need for anything, except maybe a mobo that can tri-sli 280s. I need it to be a laptop because of school. I guess I could wait until Christmas and get an Alienware.

samm Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Wait, so you already own a gaming PC (except tri-SLI)? Why does your laptop have to be one for gaming? Citizen of a country with a racist, hypocritical majority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I usually pay attention, but I figure that if I'm gonna get a laptop, it should be able to play Starcraft and Diablo, because that's really all I need. http://www.anandtech.com/mobile/showdoc.aspx?i=3396 Thanks, that's convienient.

If all you care about is Starcraft and Diablo then just about anything out there will do that. Unless you are referring to Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3. Those will need something better. @Gorth: Nearly half the people in my lectures had laptops. I can recall one lecture that had a big UT match going on. About 30 people in the same class were all playing on the same server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadly_Nightshade Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Alienware is a good choice, I've had one of their gaming notebooks in the past and it's held up well over the years. "Geez.

Hurlshort Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 You definitely pay more for an Alienware, but with that comes better customer service and better reliability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moatilliatta Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Poor teachers? [Rant on] I'd say poor students that actually pay full attention as I was one of them and it is incredibly annoying when some idiot is playing games next to you.

I want teh kotor 3 Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 (edited) You definitely pay more for an Alienware, but with that comes better customer service and better reliability. And general win-ness. Ideally I'd like this but then I'd definitely have to wait until cChristmas, and patience isn't my strong point.
