Buying a new laptop - Page 3

It's here \o/

It's bloody amazing - I loaded up FEAR and turned everything up full tilt and ran a test - averaged 58FPS at 1600x1200.

I'm very impressed and very happy - very very happy.

It's Folding already and giving about 1 1/2 times the ppd of an X2 3800 at stock

Next time I decide that work are buying me a new laptop (assuming I'm there that long) I may well go for something that I'll be able to game on. I bought a small laptop last time thinking it'd save space and weight in my carry on but by the time I add all my other crap in it really makes no difference.

I do like the idea of being able to play HL2 whilst stuck in a hotel somewhere abroad.

That's pretty much the main reason I got this one - being stuck on a rig with a laptop that can't play games properly is dull in the extreme.

Unfortunately, work would never shell out for one of these for me - the one we have on the rig is a scabby old Celeron thing
