Guest Jed Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 Well, I've been in quite a dilema... I can't play JO on my laptop cuz the graphics card sucks. I usually use my laptop, so I've been thinkin about getting a new one.... My question: What brands of laptops do you guys use? I've taken a few people off the list: Compaq/HP Gateway I've looked at this Toshiba system...but I've had no experience, and the fact they don't make desktops makes me worry. Opinions?

gorganfloss Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 You should get a Dell. Then you could tell everyone you know, "Dude! I got a Dell!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CagedCrado Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 All of the people i know with toshibas have crappy computers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jed Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 Dell....I was considering them, but I need big features in a laptop. Only reason I looked at that Toshiba was because of the features at a low cost....but CagedCrado, the people you know with them say they suck? Confuses me....I have a friend who has a Toshiba and says it's the best thing he's bought in a while.... More opinons are needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CagedCrado Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 well dumb things happen to them, such as the screen fell off, the power cord socket broke, basically stuff kept coming off of it. Maybe they were just abusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 AFAIK, laptops aren't the best machines to be playing games on anyway. The LCD panels can't refresh as fast as a CRT (particularly at higher res.), and so puts a limit on your framerate, regardless of your gfx card. I believe I read that somewhere. Or one of Rhett's elves whispered it in my ear... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewbacco Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 What about a Compaq? They are pretty cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Marrakesh Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 We havea Dell Inspiron 8100 and it works fine. I hear the 8200 is nice, bigger, better, heavier and you can get a terminal for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to be playing games, laptops aren't the way to go. And as for the pricing... you could get someone to custom build it for you. It's much cheaper than buying a retail machine, and you get exactly what you want. I have a little side business building computers, myself. I can give you pricing information if you'd like. PM me if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
