Chain Gang	Posted - 2006.01.25 17:32:00 - [1] I need to replace my old gaming pc ... I'm sure with its almost snail pace speed its an orginal ZX80..... As I travel, it needs to be Mobile and I need to purchase it in the United Kingdom and I don't have an unlimited budget.. I have been looking at the AlienWare ( Aurora m7700, Athlon X2 4800+, GeForce 7800, WUXGA 1920x1200) but woundered if any mobile gaming experts could give me some advice before I raid my piggy bank ... or bought a complete Dodo .. Thankyou for your time

Thankyou for your time My brother has a high spec alienware laptop and he's lucky if the battery lasts 60-75 minutes. Get more than one battery! Blowing s**t up since May 2003
Chain Gang	Posted - 2006.01.25 18:17:00 - [3] Hopefully 99% of the time it will be on mains ..... Is there any other Laptop make to consider .. And thankyou

Jacques Archambault	Posted - 2006.01.25 18:18:00 - [4] Alienware and a limited budget? Looking at their prices, those two don't fit.

Abbadon	Posted - 2006.01.25 18:34:00 - [6] The Dell XPS laptops are worth a look, also check Rockdirect . Member of 'The Thread Gurista Gang' as endorsed by Jenny Spitfire.
Atreus Danerun	Posted - 2006.01.25 18:47:00 - [7] I own Aw m7700 - IT IS NOT MOBILE, it is beast it weighs about 16 lbs fully packed ant was about 4k. Truly, a best machine I have ever owned - but expensive as hell. So, its probably not a good idea if you travel + budget minded.
Kerushi	Posted - 2006.01.25 18:50:00 - [8] can play eve on max reso and graph detail on my acer 1.5ghz, 256ram and radeon 9600 without a glitch ________________
Kyoko Sakoda	Posted - 2006.01.25 18:50:00 - [9] NEVER, I repeat, NEVER buy an Alienware computer. You buy one and half the components will fail on you in 8 weeks. That's even more guaranteed than getting a Cuban speaking **** poor English every time you call tech support (yeah they're located in Florida, but ffs.)
Dark Shikari	Posted - 2006.01.25 18:50:00 - [10] Alienwares are crap. Sure, they're good computers, but at their prices the laptops should be platinum plated and inset with diamonds. Dell or Toshiba are fine. Just get a Pentium-M and 6800 Mobile. -- Proud member of the [23]. The Tachikomas are DEAD! Click sig for video.
inSpirAcy	Posted - 2006.01.25 18:53:00 - [11] I just bought a Dell XPS M170 for work and for gaming; I'd highly recommend it. Got mine for ú1450 (2.2GHz Pentium M, GeForce Go 6800 Ultra 256MB, 1GB RAM, 80GB HD). Runs EVE great in 1920x1200 widescreen on full detail; not a hiccup, I daresay it even runs smoother than my desktop (3.4GHz P4, GeForce 6800GT 256MB, 2GB RAM) runs EVE in 1280x1024! Just be sure to wipe the Dell Windows install and do your own. They install a huge amount of crap (see the HardOCP review for details) which grinds the system to a halt and makes it horrifically unstable.
Nifel	Posted - 2006.01.25 18:55:00 - [12] Acer Aspire 5024 WMLi. Good price for really good performance. "We wield swords for the sound of laughter that used to be there long ago." RKK Ranking: (MIN13) Jata

kieron	Posted - 2006.01.25 20:52:00 - [14] I have a Dell XPS that I use for Eve when I'm on the road. Other than in being a battery hog, I am absolutely satisfied with it. kieron Community Manager, EVE Online

TheTaintedOne	Posted - 2006.01.25 20:58:00 - [15] bought this recently, eve works fine on it http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/Acer_Aspire_5504WXMi_LX.A7105.149_/version-1.asp Just because it is not nice, doesn't mean it is not miraculous.
My grandfather	Posted - 2006.01.25 21:01:00 - [16] I have an acer aspire 1800. You get the same or better performance then a dell and you pay much much less. 2GHz P4, 1 gig of RAM, ATI x600 mobile, and whatever else you might need. Love it.
BBQ	Posted - 2006.01.25 21:06:00 - [17] I play on a 2 year old Advent laptop (Yes I know, PCWorld lappy but it was cheap) The main thing to look for is it needs a decent non-integrated graphics card (Yes, some integrated work but will limit performance). My laptop is AMD64m 3000 1GB ram (minimum I would reccomend is 512Mb) ATi 9600m 64Meg graphics card using modified ATi drivers 60GB 7200 HDD DVD RW drive This laptop has been upgraded wrt the HDD, RAM and DVD writer but appart from that it runs eve without a hitch. << Insert whitty sig here >>
Graven Threndor	Posted - 2006.01.25 21:13:00 - [18] I've got a Dell Inspiron 6000 (with the 128MB video option) that I can play EVE on; works great.
Claus	Posted - 2006.01.25 21:24:00 - [19] I have played EVE on a laptop since 1 week after launch. The Dell Inspiron 8100 worked fine but when I moved to 8600 it got even better. No problems with using laptops. ------------- You have to go out of your mind from time to time to stay sane.
Alex Logan	Posted - 2006.01.25 21:46:00 - [20] I also got rid of my desktop PC after spending so much time travelling and switched to a lap-top. Sony Vaio VGN-FS115Z Batteries are a little sucky but again im alway plugged into the mains and it's basically used as a desktop PC that i can drag around if needs be. Runs EVE just fine, never had any problems, only change i made was to whack in another 512mb ram to take it up to a gig.
Vegeta	Posted - 2006.01.25 21:56:00 - [21] Wait for DirectX 10, then get new hardware
Lardarz B'stard	Posted - 2006.01.25 21:57:00 - [22] I would sell my grandmother for one of those alienware things. maggot for the win
Talodrine	Posted - 2006.01.26 00:10:00 - [23] I'm really happy with my Alienware Laptop. It's more of a desktop replacement rather than a light and portable machine though. UK based, so dealt with really very nice bloke from Alienware Ireland - no problems at all. Dell do seem to have recently got their act together on PC Games platforms, and a couple of their Laptops are now worth a look.
Lustre	Posted - 2006.01.26 00:19:00 - [24] If you're on a budget and want top-class hardware go for the HP Pavilion ZD8000 series. The top-end ones come standard with ATI X600 256mb, good sound and 2gb RAM. Prices are half Alienware and 3/5 Dell. They run hot n hard but great value. - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Doc Brown	Posted - 2006.01.26 02:46:00 - [25] Edited by: Doc Brown on 26/01/2006 02:47:00 It's not really that budget, but very mobile and versitle. It's one of the machines I use (I have 4 machines but 1 account...yes, I know that's wierd) Toshiba Tecra M4 Tablet p4 2.2ghz mobile GeForce 6600 128mb You can get up to 2 gigs of memory and a dual-layer, DVD-RW drive. Yes the tablet aspect makes it a bit more expensive, but I love it for taking notes in class and doing all the damn readings I have to do. Oh, I forgot to mention it's 15" 1400x1050 display _________________________________________________ There are no bad ideas, only bad implementations.
Plymer Ization	Posted - 2006.01.26 02:53:00 - [26] My main Eve-computer is a Dell Inspiron 6000d 1.73GHz Pentium M 1GB DDR2 80GB HDD 8x Dual-Layer all-format DVD-RW drive 15.4" widescreen (1280x800) ATi x300 128MB Got the 9-cell battery, weighs in at a little over 7lbs, and can get up to 2 hrs of eve gameplay per charge, or 5 hrs of continuous music playing w/the screen on standby mode (tested and verified at work :D) I got it back in October for a little under $2000 CAD after taxes and such. I <3 it.
Miz Cenuij	Posted - 2006.01.26 04:48:00 - [27] Edited by: Miz Cenuij on 26/01/2006 04:49:37 I have a HP Pavilion ZD8228 3 GIG P4, 256 Raddy, 512 RAM, 80 gig HD and 17" flatscreen. It a replacement desktop laptop, so its bigger than a normal lappy as the screen size gives away. Still its mobile and runs HL2, Quake 4 etc at high settings. Whats more it only cost ú1000 smackers. "Men are going to die.. and im going to kill them".
Vult	Posted - 2006.01.26 04:50:00 - [28] I'm totally in love with my newest lil' toy. HP DV8110 AMD Turion 64 bit processor 1.8Ghz 512MB DDR 80GB HD 8x Dual Layer DVD+/-RW 17 inch WXGA screen (1440x900 resolution) ATI Radeon Xpress 200M Graphics (128MB Dedicated) I think this model was a closeout at Staples, but it's PIMP. I originally wanted an Alienware, but saw this laptop on the shelf and couldn't resist. And Jacques'... there's a new Alienware model out that is about the same price as the Dell Inspiron 9300. Alienware was losing a ton of sales to Dell because of having waaaaaaaaay overpriced laptops... but now they're back in the competition. ----- Vult: 10 exotic dancers in the loot can. w00t. Sevan te'Gehara: Gonna bring 'em back to corp hq and say "Lap dances for all?" Vult: Nah, sold 'em all for 1.01 isk each. Cheap wh*res.
Lord Artemis	Posted - 2006.01.26 07:02:00 - [29] i have a Fujitsu Lifebook N5010. Agreeably it runs Eve great, the screen rocks but with a pent 4 and 64mb dedicated video ram, and xbrite screen (same light and clarity of a regular CRT monitor its battery life sux (only drawback) ___________________________ Aegis Militia Diplomatic Relations Officer C.E.O. of SHOD

Chribba	Posted - 2006.01.26 07:41:00 - [30] I vote for Fujitsu-Siemens P1510 on the mobility point =) Never been easier to fit a laptop in your pocket. But of course you gotta be happy playing at 1024x600. EVE-Files \| EVE-Search \| Get Email if thread updates
