Re: Who Works On A Laptop / Recommendations?
Hit up the discount/coupon code sites. They'll do some major discounts, and in my case it just saved me over 500 bucks. I just got a new HP laptop (just delivered, like an hour ago), and with the discount code, it ran me just under a thousand for: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.83 gh 17" 1680x1050 3 GB DDR2 Geforce 8600M GS 512 MB… -

Alienware = not worth the money (IMO). They are nice computers, but WAY overpriced Thing you'll want to concentrate on most is video. Most laptops come with a basic video card, which is great for a majority of users, but if you want to do gaming or graphic design, then you need a decent video card. I'm not up to speed on… -

I've posted before on these threads about my xps m1710. 4 gigs ram, 512 mb 7950gtx, core 2 duo. I did all my contract work on it for the past year and do all my work at home on it. I love it. Customer service. Best I have ever had. -

I just got a Sony Vaio laptop with dual core whatever Intel calls them today proc, few gigs of ram, a 256mb card and a bluray drive in it. It works great for game stuff. I don't do characters or much 3d personal work though. When I do work though on it I have to use an external mouse and I prefer an external keyboard. So… -

I've been using laptops for close to 2.5 years now. I use them both for 3d sculpting and gaming. If you plan to move around a lot, my advice is to stick to to a 15 inch and when you are at home, just plug in a monitor. i started out with a dell 17 inch, which was as heavy as a brick and a year ago i switched over to a… -

you'll need your own porter too, my old graphics beast laptop was 8kg. (the first "desktop replacement", the HP ZD2700) Thankfully there are no "early adopter" machines these days.

The problem I'm having is that I'm kind of in the dark when it comes to these things...no real idea what's good or what's bad.… -

Fuck Intel] 2gigs of RAM 256mb dedicated graphics card [You want this. Don't get onboard video] 250GB Hard drive DVD burner with Lightscribe 15" Widescreen…
