triforce_keeper Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Hi guys Im buying a new pc sometime soon and wanted a laptop so I can take it in my room, and to my dads. I want a laptop thats powerful enough to run some of the vista games that are coming out. I dont have a clue about graphics cards and sound cards etc so I wondered if you guys could find me a decent laptop and configure to my liking? Thnx in advance. P.S ive heard alienware are good for games please could you try to look around there? (i like there laptops :p ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanchez Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Wait. It's to early to get a laptop if you want to play "vista games". Alienware are overpriced, but do make some powerful laptops. Also, its their laptops, not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triforce_keeper Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 yes ok thankyou for my grammer lesson lol can we go onto the laptop now please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario114 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I think he's point is, your'll have to wait untill vista (Windows vista operating system) is out to play vista games. As for guide lines you'll want at least a 60GB hard-drive, probaly at least 512 (1 gig would be better) dd ram, and something around 2 Ghz. Depending on whats games you want to play and your budget, you could go for a system with a cheaper graphics card, say a ati9800, or go for somehting a better, like there new x1000 series.

mario114 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Windows vista will get a broad consumer launch around jan 07. I found this, it isn't cheap, but it's specs are good, and it's better than anything pc world have to offer: http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/features.aspx/inspn_9400?c=uk&cs=ukdhs1&l=en&s=dhs 1.8 Ghz 1024 MB ram radeon x1400 , with 256MB For £939 But you were right alienware are good, for about the same pirce your get a better machine from them, check: http://www.alienware.co.uk/product_pages/notebook_all_default.aspx Alienware have some good laptops, there not cheap, but there specs are very good.

The fish Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 How much is it? if it's <£1200, then hell yes, get it. I would go for an ATI X850 personally, but if thats a pre-built unchangable package, and it comes with a moniter, keyboard, and mouse, go for it.

triforce_keeper Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 the fish thats a laptop......and fieldsofanfieldroad thats WAY over my budget, configuring stuff to my wants on the macbook pro would cost me around £2000 and I dont think my mom would let me take that much out of my savings account lol.
