 LAptop Question
Ok, when my family gets a house, my parents told me I will be getting a laptop for school, and my desktop will become the house computer. So I was wondering what kind of laptop I should get to be able to play cz for, and I probable won't be able to get a P4 on my laptop or anthlon 64. so is celeron M, or mobile centrino or turion and whatever else they got descent for a the laptop to play CZ on?

Pretty much true unless you're on a $3000+.
They just aren't cut out for LOL GAEMS!
And Spartan, THANK YOU FOR NOT SPELLING IT LABTOP. Tired of seeing dumbshits everywhere typing labtop instead of laptop.

...CZ will run on any laptop.. if you want to run it like a desktop your going to have to drop some major bucks on an alienware..

iam not even going to bother to look at thoes. Any laptop will work its not like they make a laptop specific for CZ.. get the one with the best options you can get.. get the most amount of RAM ou can afford on 1 chip.. 1 chip of RAM with alot of room on it is far better than 2 little chips for a laptop because a laptop will only have 2 slots for RAM and it wont have to share the space between two sticks.. it can read it fast etc...

Stay away from Dell and Gateway. Dell laptops like to burn up, and Gateways just suck. Either HP or IBM.

I got a Compaq, it's at the apt right now, but I've had it for about a year. When I got it it was a little bit over a grand but after rebates went down to aboot $800. That's what I usually use, and it can take a beating. Hell I've spilled half a cup of water on it. Just turned off, dried up, and started again the next morning.

HP are moving thier call centers back to the US. IBM really isn't IBM anymore. My next comp will be an HP. I'd like to talk to someone I understand when/if I have an issue with their computer.

The second one will play at 30-35FPS max on CZ. I don't know about the first one, nearly same if not a bit lower.
