Hai peeps, i have a decent gaming desktop pc for when i am at home but due to my job i often "go away" for a few weeks at a time and miss hacking and slashing at zombies and the such on games.
So i have decided to buy a laptop, i mean theres only so much socilasing and being normal someone can take before they feel the urge to load up BF2 and "pwn nabzors" on their own in a poorly lit room with only a bottle of vodka and realisation of how sad their life has become.
So i ask your kind advice of how i can achieve this wonderful dream of mine!
Last year my mate spent very nearly 2grand on a awsome laptop that could run all the current titles at good settings, i was mighty impressed with it, and it dispelled my belief that laptops were only good for men in suits sitting on trains tapping away at MS word.
it was an awsome machine but had one major drawback for me.. the Size, this thing was huge and heavy, as i travel on planes quite often weight and size is a big issue (i gotta leave room for my speedos.. haha)
So i would kindly ask your knowledgable advice on what laptop would present a balance between- size & weight Vs performance on games.
i think its a bit of a balancing act between:
little laptops= great size but shiite performance only managing minesweeper
big laptops= far to big to be praticble but can run modern games
so i would like a compramise between the two if possible.
Musts:
must play Oblivion -awsome game and will take up 90% of the machines life.
must play Total Annihilation - old game and the best ever made by far, still love it.
must play LOTRO -for when/if i can get near to a decent inet connection.
must nots:
must not have a french flag sticker on it! nobody likes the frenchies!
i am pretty clued up on all the tech on desktop pcs i dont clam to be any sort of expert, i just have a fair understanding of them and know whats what, however.. i havent a clue about laptops as i havent kept upto date will all the latest brands/tech so am a little confused with it all, any light you guys could shead on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot in advance, Steve.
