Widescreen Gaming Forum

You think about a laptop for browsing and a desktop for playing? I had a IBM T20 (build in 2001) - it was great for the internet. You can´t do much more with it, but if you take a one or two year old lappy, you can play a lot of games with it.

BTW: Minesweepeer was running great with my T20 :D

My parents go to sleep usually before i do my online gaming with talking so i was planning on getting a decent laptop to use sometimes for playing some games on low and then having a desktop to use for gaming on high other times

That or just get a laptop or just a desktop.

I was looking at
p5b
hiper psu
60 dollar case
2gb ram 800 4-4-4-12 timings
e6300
8800gts - 640mb
Cheapo audigy sound card
120mm zalman fan with as5
250gb hdd
dvd rw drive
good wireless card
windows xp
mx518 and generic keyboard
20" benq
2-3 games
For 1700 USD

which gives me 500-600 for a basic lappy
Operating System Genuine Windows Vista Home Basic
Processor AMD Turion(TM) 64 Mobile MK-36 (2.0 GHz/512KB)
Display 15.4" WXGA Widescreen (1280x800)
Graphics Card NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) Go 6150 w/Productivity Ports
Personalization Imprint Finish + Microphone + QuickPlay
Memory 1GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
Hard Drive 60GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
Primary CD/DVD Drive DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive
Networking 802.11b/g WLAN
TV & Entertainment Experience No TV Tuner w/remote control
Primary Battery 6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
Productivity Software Microsoft(R) Works 8.0

Which would probably be able to run basic games find to keep me entertained

My friend has a notebook with a pentium M all the other specs are the same except for gfx card his is intel integrated so this should do fine for 625 bucks

TOTAL:: 2350 I can pay for about 700 of it right now and parents will probably pay for 1000-1500 of it

Sounds good, packerfan. :)

I got rid of 5.1 surround sound, 24" screen, better case, better heatsink, better sound card, better wireless to get it down cheap enough for the lappy

I personally would not go for the laptop at all but its not my choice.

Yeah my parents usually go to bed at 8-9 at i usually play til 9 or 10 to i can't talk then and i usually only start playing at 7 so i would miss a lot of gaming time. Then again i can always play my basic games on the desktop downstairs (since the laptop will be integrated i can play the basic ones on my old pc which has a basic gfx card) and send my sister upstairs (she would be more than willing to temporarily use a faster pc and bigger screen :D) and make a limited account in xp so she can't screw up anything

As much that is said about laptops that are bad, I don't think I could be without one now...

Im a 14 year old kid walking to my friends house with a big pc might look insane

I would probably rather just have a really fast and good desktop and when i can't voice chat head downstairs have my sister use my good pc and play oldskool games on my old pc :D
