Esequiel Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Looking for a laptop to run FFXI Online comfortably. My desktop is a bog standard dual core, with i think a 7800 Gee force card in it. Just want something that will stay cool enough and to play the game. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoogleViper Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 What are the game's requirements? Didn't you say that you stopped playing FFXI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esequiel Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 Didn't you say that you stopped playing FFXI?

Esequiel Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Sleep? Haha if only it were that easy... Imagine this, your baby wakes up screaming at 1am, it wakes up your toddler, your missus feeds the baby while you get the toddler back to sleep. Its now 1:30 am and at 2:30-3am you have to do it all again >.> I didnt sleep for 3 months with the other one OT: what's your budget? What specs are you after? Budget wise... as cheap as poss but value for money is more important. I dont want a cheap piece of crap i would rather spend £500 on something decent. Just needs to browse the net, play DVD's and FFXI. FFXI Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jordan Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 So... wait a second. For £500 you want a laptop: Which is new Which can play games well Which stays cool There is no way... A decent gaming laptop (lets say a Dell XPS or an Alienware which is made for gaming in mind is going to cost you around £900-£1200.) You might find something if you look around though. I just don't think you are... >_> http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/features.aspx/4x_xps_m1530?c=uk&cs=ukbsdt1&l=en&s=bsd The £529 one is your best bet tbh.

Im thinking something like sticking an extra gig of ram in one of these: Lenovo 3000 Or maybe just grab a vostro: Vostro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
