Any computer guys in here? I am trying to find a laptop that will allow me to play games like Doom 3, half-life 2, Diablo 2, Halo, etc, etc. . So i know i need a good video card, and alot of memory. I also need this for school. While im in class what the teacher says i type. Yeah i can do it i average 80 wpm . Also, I need the laptop for work. Mostly inspection papers which are done using excel. . and also to work on my website i need frontpage, And hopefully i will get paintshop pro 8 soon so i can make a modernized webiste .



Ive looked at dell, toshiba, alienware... ANyone have any suggestions.



Thanks

I just got a new laptop at work and I'm real happy with it. Frys Electronics sells 'em. HP pavilion ze5500. 2. 6 g hz, 60 gb disk, 512 gb mem, cd-rw/dvd,15. x screen. We buy 'em with warranties and replace 'em when the warranties expire.

I think IBM Thinkpads are the best... .



I used an A21P (2-3 year old model... )back when I worked/lived in Massachusetts...



I was able to edit full-motion (29. 97fps) video with it... and it played DVD's without breaking a sweat.

Hey dan, I made a laptop costing over 5300 dallors . I guess im gonna have to wait for a reall laptop to come out. I really would like a 256 md video cartd in a laptop. That would be insane.

I've got a Toshiba that I like. I don't run games on it though, that's what my desktop is for. I do put a couple of graphics applications to work on it. It is my travel machine.



Dan's right, you can't get one machine that does everything well and expect to keep it forever. You also can't upgrade forever, at some point you have to replace. Laptops die of abuse, heat, old age and non replaceable components long before a desktop the same age. I wouldn't sink my best bucks into a laptop. Laptops are also prone to impact, such as getting dropped...



You do realize that what we consider a laptop used to be a server only a few years ago?
