You think about a laptop for browsing and a desktop for playing? I had a IBM T20 (build in 2001) - it was great for the internet. You can´t do much more with it, but if you take a one or two year old lappy, you can play a lot of games with it. BTW: Minesweepeer was running great with my T20 :D Best wishes, Holzstock |

You can´t do much more with it, but if you take a one or two year old lappy, you can play a lot of games with it. My parents go to sleep usually before i do my online gaming with talking so i was planning on getting a decent laptop to use sometimes for playing some games on low and then having a desktop to use for gaming on high other times That or just get a laptop or just a desktop. I was looking at p5b hiper psu 60 dollar case 2gb ram 800 4-4-4-12 timings e6300 8800gts - 640mb Cheapo audigy sound card 120mm zalman fan with as5 250gb hdd dvd rw drive good wireless card windows xp mx518 and generic keyboard 20" benq 2-3 games For 1700 USD which gives me 500-600 for a basic lappy Operating System Genuine Windows Vista Home Basic Processor AMD Turion(TM) 64 Mobile MK-36 (2.0 GHz/512KB) Display 15.4" WXGA Widescreen (1280x800) Graphics Card NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) Go 6150 w/Productivity Ports Personalization Imprint Finish + Microphone + QuickPlay Memory 1GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm) Hard Drive 60GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive Primary CD/DVD Drive DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive Networking 802.11b/g WLAN TV & Entertainment Experience No TV Tuner w/remote control Primary Battery 6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery Productivity Software Microsoft(R) Works 8.0 Which would probably be able to run basic games find to keep me entertained My friend has a notebook with a pentium M all the other specs are the same except for gfx card his is intel integrated so this should do fine for 625 bucks TOTAL:: 2350 I can pay for about 700 of it right now and parents will probably pay for 1000-1500 of it |

I got rid of 5.1 surround sound, 24" screen, better case, better heatsink, better sound card, better wireless to get it down cheap enough for the lappy |

I personally would not go for the laptop at all but its not my choice. Yeah my parents usually go to bed at 8-9 at i usually play til 9 or 10 to i can't talk then and i usually only start playing at 7 so i would miss a lot of gaming time. Then again i can always play my basic games on the desktop downstairs (since the laptop will be integrated i can play the basic ones on my old pc which has a basic gfx card) and send my sister upstairs (she would be more than willing to temporarily use a faster pc and bigger screen :D) and make a limited account in xp so she can't screw up anything |

As much that is said about laptops that are bad, I don't think I could be without one now... |

Im a 14 year old kid walking to my friends house with a big pc might look insane I would probably rather just have a really fast and good desktop and when i can't voice chat head downstairs have my sister use my good pc and play oldskool games on my old pc :D |
