You should post in Hardware & Software.
my bad sorry
Its all good now a mod moved it
the problem with a laptop that you play games on is thats its gonna run out of batteries quickly so unless you've got it plugged into a wall socket at all times (at which point you may as well have a desktop) you aint gonna get much use out of it.
well i would have it plugged in at all times well at least most of the time
since i travel a lot and i want my computer to be around me so i have access to it
if i had a desktop it really wouldn't work for me
Tbh, if your looking for a labtop for gaming, be prepared to spend tons of money. I dont know personally, but labtops are more for businessmen etc. I say just wait for NoPeace to ocme check this out, he`ll give you guidance on what to buy and he knows what hes talking about.
alright well i wasn't planning on spending tons of money only because i don't have tons of money to spend (wish i did though)
ok ill wait for NoPeace to check this thread out
NoPeace will probably correct me, or not. A good gaming computer is not cheap :P I have found. AlienWare laptops and desktops to be ideal Gaming comps. Mabey look into there laptops? or Build one your self ;]
Okay tell me how much money you can spend for a gaming laptop.
I think if i would know that how much could you spend then i think i can recommend some thing for you.
But one thing i like to tell you that i don't think any good laptop would be available in the market for cheap.
how about we first find out what you want to play - then decide if you need a powerhouse.
i redicovered populous the begining - awesome game - it runs perfectly on my intergrated graphics laptop :)
Gaming + Laptops = 2x-3x the cost of a desktop equal.
Cheap laptops are not good for gaming. They can run old games but don't plan on running anything newer then 2 years on it.
NoPeace - out
so buying a gaming laptop is bad unless i got money lol
ok i guess i can look into other laptops with good stuff on them thats fast,reliable and a good hard drive with the price range of $1000-$1200
anyone got any ideas on that?
Eh, my advice. is save up to bout 2.5-3k and build one. :P
Dell... They make good performing ones. Just make sure you get the warranty on them.Originally Posted by Wildman

again, what games do you want to play ?
if you rarely buy games and stick to the same game, then its easier to buy something that would run it at acceptable speeds rather than fantasize about dual 7900gtx in your latop ..
The Dell XPS is pretty decent option for a gaming laptop if you ask me. But then the cheaper ones as said wont be able to handle crap.
basically im looking for a computer that can handle a maple server running on it with people connecting to it
You.. dont host servers on a laptop.. Why not just get a small Mini profile desktop?
Mini-ATX with an 8800gt, 2gb ram, and a dual core woudl suit you just fine, and only run you around 500-600ish give or take, maybe around 700 depending on the case and power supply you choose
If you tried spending that same 700ish on a laptop.. well, you would be hard pressed to find ANY laptop that coudl run any game in the last year, not to mention host, plus run one.
any sort of prolonged stress due to multiple tcp connections and handling multiple users will roast your cpu (laptops).
and its not a gaming laptop you want then is it ? its a servering laptop...
ok $700 for a good computer that could host a server is not bad at all
actually its pretty good
do u think you would have a link to that
well i guess so hosting a server on a laptop is bad? lol screw that idea then
alienware gaming desktops and laptops are sweet, my brother got a free one from his old job(Game Tester). He had a desktop in the office and laptop to work at home. Lets say he had 10 Flight Simulator X's running and still had a little lag. On my computer, i put my cusor over the icon, my computer crashes(No Joke). I would honestly recommend alienware
alienware is like $2000 and i dont have $2000 to spend as i stated before
