Im curently trying to get the funds together for a new Laptop, being an Eve addict i want it to run Eve.
I know that both ATI and nVidia mobility chipsets should run eve.
My question is this, if you have run Eve on a laptop, what spec laptop do you use and are their any particular bits of hardware to avoid eg(particular ATI or nVidia gfx).
Thanx in advance

I can tell you that my (company supplied - not my choice) Siemens E Series Lifebook does not play Eve well :-(
Even though its a centrino job it uses Intel 82852 Gfx so I would imagine this GFX chipset is bad. Jerky as feck in space. Maybe others have better experiences?
If you do have an unlimited budget, Alienware are the way to go.
Best of luck!

Get any laptop with a graphic card with 64 MB or more. and you will be find stay away from laptops that have a integrated graphic card memory. Go with Radeon 9600 or better if possible.

IM running Eve on a 18 month old Dell Inspiron 5100 (2.4Ghz P4, 512 Mb) which uses a 64mb mobility radeon 7500 i believe. fairly oldish graphics card but runs eve fine at about 30-35 fps fullscreen or windowed 1024x768 while running a second desktop.
The newer Inspirons wld certainly run eve with ease
hope that helps

I have a fricking slow HP Laptop Three Years Old. Before you say, buy a new one, please help me if you have any ideas.
I am using I believe an Intergrated S3 Twister Graphics Card 32MB Memory. It does not Support TNL (Hardware) I believe. I think EVE Requires Hardware TNL, If anyone knows of a workaround for this, like a TNL Emulator, or something that might work, if you can help me out. I am gone from home about 4 days a week, with this laptop, and being able to play Eve 6 days a week, instead of 2 would be a great thing :)
please help all my computer elites out there.

I use a laptop to play EVE. Here are my specs:
Dell Inspiron 8600 (around 18 months old now) Pentium M, 1.7GHz, 15.4 in WUXGA Screen 512MB RAM (could do with 1024MB at times though) 128MB nVidia GeForce FX Go 5650 4X AGP 80 GB HD
And I run the whole thing on a WLAN
EVE runs great either fullscreen or in windowed mode (you gotta love that 1920x1600 crisp resolution) Now who is complaining that the ingame text is too small?

For all you UK users I just bought a laptop for ú899 from PC World and here are the specs, 3.20ghz p4, 512 ram and radeon mobility 9700 64mb graphics, it also has widescreen with sumet like 1440x900 res and all the graphics driver settings and game settings are on max and I get around 30-60 FPS while docked and about 25-40 FPS while in space, it has only gone as low asa bout 19 FPS but that was in a very busy area and it still ran fine. I know itÆs a tad expensive but if u want guaranteed results then go with this lappy :) , btw: still not as good as my desktop :P

If you have the isk and want the ultimate in Laptop gamming....
Here you go...
Dell Inspiron XPS (GEN 1, NOT Gen 2)
Here's my specs...
Intel P4 3.4 Ghz Extreme Edition processor with HT 1 Gig Ram ATI 9800 Pro 256 meg video card running on the Ultra sharp 15" wide screen LCD (1920 x 1200) Standard on-board sound (XPS laptop has a built in subwoofer) Built in 100/1000 LAN and 802.11G WI-FI Make sure you get the 60 gig HD (Its the ONLY HD offered for this unit at 7200 RPM)
Eve and EVERYTHING else plays great... even with multiple accounts on both fullscreen and windowed mode... and with the oversized twin cooling fans... the laptop doesn't meltdown even after marathon gamming sessions!!!
However, this is NOT for the faint of heart or the weak outthere... the laptop weighs almost 12lbs alone and the powerpack is almost another 5lbs!!!
Forget battery power... my extended life battery is good for about 40 min TOTAL!!
But... the gaming is equal to or better than 90% of the desktops outthere!!
BTW... the XPS gen 2 laptop from Dell was neutered in the processor department offering at best a 2.0 or 2.2 ghz P4-M now... but instead offers a VERY nice 17" wide aspect screen with a Nivida 256 meg video card (not sure which one) running at 1920 x 1200 res.
You decide if the lower processor is worth the bigger screen
Enjoy

Acer travelmate 800 here... 1.3 GHz Pentium M Ati 9000 Mobility 512 MB Ram
=> 25 FPS in space (which is enough, eve is no first-person-shooter) but it drops to jerky rates in fleet battles.

For the laptop without Hardware TNL: There is no such thing like a software emulator. Not for DirectX. And eve does not support OpenGL :((
To all coders out there: - Use OpenGL, and your game will run everywhere. - Use DirectX, and your game will will have 2 FPS more then OpenGL ... runs on Intel/Windows.. if u got the right drivers... and correct OS version... and the tested grafixcard...
