I bought a laptop for university, and I found that I really didn't use it enough to warrant having one. If you do want a laptop, get something that's light with good battery life. Sony, Toshiba and IBM all make really nice laptops. What you get really depends on your price range. With $2000, you can get a top of the line desktop computer, but that same amount of money will only get you an average notebook. ----------------------------------- zomg Tue Mar 08, 2005 11:55 am ----------------------------------- First off gaming laptops are a wast of money. Second Alienware computers are a waste of money. Third Dell sucks. If you want a good gaming computer, build one. ya alienware is way too expensive, and dell just throws cheap ass parts together just to bring down there prices, i built my gaming computer for $700 and it runs everything:) ----------------------------------- md Tue Mar 08, 2005 12:31 pm ----------------------------------- I've spent probably close to $2500 on my computer(s), but that's because I keep upgrading parts. I started off with just $600 and got a great gaming machine, now I've got a better gaming machine but since I bought all the parts slowly i've never spent more than $400 at once since :) Current Specs: P4 @2.8 w/ Hyperthreading 1.25Gb ram 120Gb HD 10Gb secondary HD 48x CD Burner (same read speed, not sure about re-write) 12x DVD/40x CD ATI Radeon 9000 ATI TV Wonder Pro SB PCI 128 Linksys 10/100 nic Logitec Z-640 Surround Sound speakers Princeton 19" LCD Samsung 17" CRT Microsoft keyboard and mouse Parts I still have which I used before: P4 @ 1.5 + motherboard (in use by my brother) SB Live 24 two 3Com 10/100 nics nVidia Riva TNT2 Pro video card (pci) S3 Virge video card (pci) nVidia Quadro 2 Pro (agp) ATI Radeon 7000 (agp) Adaptec Ultra-wide SCSI controller w/ 4 10000 RPM 1Gb drives assorted keyboards, mice, and drives And if you don't hate me yet, My server: 2 PII @400 1 Gb ram 3Com 10/100 nic 40Gb HD 40x CD I love my computers :D ----------------------------------- Martin Tue Mar 08, 2005 1:04 pm ----------------------------------- Without fail, a gaming laptop will be beaten solidly by a desktop computer that costs half of what it does (or just decimated by a desktop that costs the same as it). ----------------------------------- Mazer Tue Mar 08, 2005 1:24 pm ----------------------------------- Cornflake, I already hated you! Now I just hate you more. The majority of my computers are from the "back in the day" era. That is, Commodore64, IBM PCjr, etc. I have (my own) pretty decent computer now, but it's no super-leet-destoyer-of-evil-gamer-rig. ----------------------------------- the_short1 Tue Mar 08, 2005 2:19 pm ----------------------------------- yea.. i got a p2 266, 128 ram, 10gb hd, 52x32x52 CDRW,3mb vid PCI, linksys nic, 4port wireless router,shaw 1.5Mb internet...... im upgrading it to pent 3 800, 512 ram, 40gb hd, 128MB vid AGP,shaw 5Mb internet** cuz yes.. my mobo is that good.. and two junky p1s with 1gb hd, 128 ram
