I thought I would ping you guys for your personal or professional opinions on laptops. I figured the people on this forum are a bit more hip to this stuff than the mil or contractor boards.
I need one...asap. I don't need one of those indestructible powebooks or whatever they are called. I don't plan on throwing in a big pile of sand and shit. needs to have good battery life, powerful enough to play some movies/games/wifi/etc. although they may all have that capability now. the last time I purchased one was in 97...so I am totally out of the loop. I'm sure I could just go to bestbuy and get one, but when throwing down more than a grand the last thing i want is buyer's remorse...you know? I am not against getting a mac either. I have no platform loyalty...I just want to be sure that it's compatible with the formats used for gaming...because all work and no play makes jon a sad boy. help please. |

I like the IBM Thinkpads. I got a T60 for my graduation and its pretty cool. I'm sure it could run games pretty well, but I don't usually play anymore.
