new laptop help

Post by KinX » Mon Mar 31, 2008 1:28 am

Yo community.

i need to buy a new laptop and need a bit of help

what kind of specs should i be looking at to be able to run nwn2 satisfactorily? That means at least most of the gfx settings on high

how about one that can run nwn2 and also be able to brute force 128 bit passwords while getting me a beer from the fridge?

Obviously, cheaper the better.

There are quite a few gaming laptops now shipping with the Nvidea 8800M GTX, which will be able to handle things pretty smoothly and it works for Direct X 10

Check out Alien Ware, Rock and Killer notebooks, although prices will depend where you are hey are certainly more favorable in the US. These 3 are all specialising in gaming.

I'm a Dell guy for laptops. They've just always had rock solid gamer laptops, although pricey as hell. XPS Gen 1 and 2 rock.

Another good company to add to the gaming laptops fold is M-Tech based in US , they are talking and maybe now offer a dual Nvidea 8800GTX m version which wil kick ass..... their web page looks like shit , but build times are great and prices better than Alien ware , plus they ship to the UK if required.
