Andreas Syneticus	Posted - 2007.01.09 21:24:00 - [1] Edited by: Andreas Syneticus on 09/01/2007 21:22:06 I'm travelling the world a bit for the next year or two and want to get a good laptop for what I do (gaming, office-related, video authoring, etc...). I've never owned a laptop before, I've always used the PC tower platform, but I can't fit that in a suitcase ;) So I ask you, the EVE community for recommendations on a solid portable EVE gaming platform - what graphics chip to get, or to avoid, etc... I've been looking at Dell Inspirion 9400s, and ASUS G1/G2 systems for their full-feature sets, but again I'm a laptop noob and want to make the right purchase decision ;) I open to the floor to the laptop pilots!

I use a HP that has a mobile radeon chip and the only thing I do in it is haul (I dont mine anyway). It has 1Gb ram and plenty of disk excellent wide screen for dvds but 3D gaming environments... try looking for a laptop that has Vista installed with a DirectX 10 compatible graphics card and dual core...

Izo Azlion Veto.	Posted - 2007.01.09 21:50:00 - [3] I have the following - Dual Core AMD 1.8Ghz Proc. 1.5gb 500ish Mhz ram (2gb soon :/) 256mb Nvidia Go6150 (Its okay) 100gb HDD It runs EVE pretty well, I've never PVP'ed on it because I havnt used it much. But it could do it easily. Cost me 800 GBP, or 1500 US, seeing as I got it from there. Cheaper in America. Izo Azlion. --- Cortes owned my Sig. :/

00Dead Caldari FATAL REVELATIONS	Posted - 2007.01.09 22:15:00 - [8] Edited by: 00Dead on 09/01/2007 22:13:10 Your biggest decision will be choosing a screen size and resolution, 17" is bigger than you think. I am not sure who currently winning the graphics war but a minimum 128mb go6600/7600 or Radeon x1600/X1700. I like the look of the asus g1 looks very nice
Verite Rendition Caldari AUS Corporation CORE.	Posted - 2007.01.09 22:16:00 - [9] Keep in mind that EVE is heavily CPU limited, not GPU limited. So a laptop with a strong CPU(Core 2 Duo) and decent GPU(GF7600, RX1600) along with a couple of gigs of RAM will run EVE as smooth as butter. ---- AUS Corp Lead Megalomanic
AzJunior	Posted - 2007.01.09 22:18:00 - [10] Edited by: AzJunior on 09/01/2007 22:15:12 Hi, I use a laptop as well DELL M1710 it runs very well, but its an expensive laptop, i run dual monitors with a Dell 24.1" and the laptop monitor and it runs both monitors fine in 1920 x 1200, can run 3 eve's on it without it even lagging :) 1 GB ram 7900 GTS gfx card runs nicely :) Cheers, AzJnr
ElweSingollo Starlancers	Posted - 2007.01.09 23:58:00 - [11] Just recently got a new laptop... AMD64 x2 2Gb Ram 256mb Nvidia Go7600 On a 17" screen it does 1440 x 900 res and copes more than well with Eve haven't been in large scale battles with it just small gang stuff but considering it does a whole lot better than my last laptop don't think it would be to bad. It's a HP 9030.
Seramyr l'Ethia Liminality	Posted - 2007.01.10 00:28:00 - [12] I play on a Macbook Pro booted natively to XP, which for obscure reasons gets better framerates than my friend's gaming desktop. There's deep irony afoot.
Psychotic Penguin Gallente Fouska	Posted - 2007.01.10 00:33:00 - [13] Last years top of the line laptop (this years medium machine) runs 3 eve clients simultaneously just fine. if you want to do gaming stay away from vista till it has been out for at least 1 year, new windows systems has a history of being unstable and taking way too many recurses in the beginning. also you would be wanting a 15" wide screen ____________________________________________________ Reality is for those who have no imagination.

Sovereign533 Caldari The Collective Against ALL Authorities	Posted - 2007.01.10 01:05:00 - [16] i just bought a laptop... and this one is great... can run 4 eve clients with minimal lag... aside server lag ofcourse... bluetooth, wireless, DVD writer... it's one of the 'new' laptops that you can put together yourself... there are a lot of problems with service and stuff... so i went to a custom made one... HEL80 (case and mainboard and keyboard and videocard) GeForce 7600 mobile 2GB RAM Intel 2.3Ghz Core 2 Duo... 80GB hdd... works great... can change almost everything on this one... and it's as good as a normal pc... Eve running on high, still 1280x800 resolution, glare TFT screen... lightning fast... it's great... Second sig removed, only 1 signature graphic please - Xorus ^_^WOOHOO!!! my Sig finally got nerfed... Added pink because it was lacking - Petwraith

It has 1Gb ram and plenty of disk excellent wide screen for dvds but 3D gaming environments... try looking for a laptop that has Vista installed with a DirectX 10 compatible graphics card and dual core... Deck Is anyone shipping Vista yet? And good luck finding a DX10 card, they aren't out for laptops yet. If you get a 15.4" screen look for at least a 7600/x1600 card (or 7700/x1700), if you get something with a 17" screen look for at least a 7900GS card. The Asus G1 and the Dell e1705/9400 (with 7900GS) should both play Eve well. G1 is pretty much one of the top gaming laptops in the 15.4" size and the e1705/9400 is a good gaming laptop when it is paired with the 7900GS card. The choice between those 2 should come down to size as they are pretty close price wise. One is more portable then the other. Visit www.notebookreview.com for some more infos on Laptops, alot of discussion takes place there. If price is no object get a Clevo M570U fully decked out for around $3,000.

I've been looking at Dell Inspirion 9400s, and ASUS G1/G2 systems for their full-feature sets, but again I'm a laptop noob and want to make the right purchase decision ;) I open to the floor to the laptop pilots! Never tested the asus g1/g2 laptops, but they should both be better than most computers for runnning eve. I just bought the inspiron 9400 with geforce 7900gs videocard and 1920x1200 screen res, it has no problems whatsoever running my two clients on seperate monitors (4xAA), so if the sheer weight of the thing does not bother you too much (it is a HUGE laptop) you should be very satisfied with it. Eve simply looks amazing on the high resolutions got the 2.1ghz core2duo and 2 gig of ram, and it runs all the games i've tried without a hitch. The geforce 7900gs can even be firmware modded to 7900gx which will give you 30-50% extra performance from the graphics card. Batterylife is not too bad either, I get about 3hrs of runtime on the batteries (9 cell) and it is also quite silent compared to most high-end laptops i've tested. The laptop seems to include pretty much everything you'd need in a computer (wlan, lan, bluetooth, dvdr, cardreaders, 6x usb, etc), so i don't think you'll regret buying one of them. Good: can run everything, quite silent, lovely monitor Bad: that 17" screen is rather big if you want to move it around every day.
Aiden Carlyle Caldari Finite Horizon	Posted - 2007.01.10 02:12:00 - [19] Fujitsu Amilo 1546 2Ghz Core2Duo 2gig ram Radeon X1800 160gb hd 17" widescreen. Relatively inexpensie, powerful and nice build quality. Will be good for any game not just EVE.
Glengrant Minmatar TOHA Heavy Industries	Posted - 2007.01.10 02:38:00 - [20] Originally by: Andreas Syneticus Edited by: Andreas Syneticus on 09/01/2007 21:22:06 I'm travelling the world a bit for the next year or two and want to get a good laptop for what I do (gaming, office-related, video authoring, etc...). I've been looking at Dell Inspirion 9400s, and ASUS G1/G2 systems for their full-feature sets, but again I'm a laptop noob and want to make the right purchase decision ;) I open to the floor to the laptop pilots! I own that Inspiron 9400 and it's great. Only thing I dislike is the silver/white look - but that I'm sure many like that too. It has a nice dual core CPU, solid keyboard with the sensible layout, good sound, great screen quality (get the max resolution - u can play with the the dots-per-inch setting if the default font size is too small for your taste). And Dell offers the best bang-for-buck in general. You should get the best mobile GPU abailable (nvidia 9700 GS atm for the 9400). Not so much for eve now (RAM+CPU needed more) but so u are prepared for the future including the new graphics engine for Eve that should be here Real Soon Now (TM). Do not get less than 1 GB for your purposes. I have 2. :-) Forget what DeckardIRL said about pvp - there is no problem at all doing pvp or anything else on a good laptop. I already did it 3 years on a much less powerful laptop than I have now.
Jason Marshall Hammer Of Light Astral Wolves	Posted - 2007.01.10 02:47:00 - [21] I want it bad :( but my debit card says no. Linkage Tacky lens flares in sigs 4tw!
Chinger Caldari	Posted - 2007.01.10 03:16:00 - [22] If you want really good performance get one of those alienware laptops. If you dnt want to spend so much, the acer laptops do an excellent job for a lesser price.

Pelsson Amarr Northern Intelligence SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2007.01.10 03:53:00 - [24] im using Hp Pavilion zd8000 and it works great in combat. rarely notice lag can handle 3 clients at the same time Bought it in sept. 2005 and its cheap bought it for 1800 - 2000 dollors on Denmark if I remember right sry bad english
Peter VonThal	Posted - 2007.01.10 03:59:00 - [25] Asus G1 will do great if you want a 15.4". I got an Asus V1Jp in December, which is the "business class" model, it's similar to G1 specs, but an ATi x1700 instead of the nVidia 7700. EVE runs beautifully, and having multiple smaller windows open is no problem, the 1680x1050 offers tons of screen real estate. I love it.
Zeko Rena Caldari Tangent Technologies	Posted - 2007.01.10 04:00:00 - [26] Edited by: Zeko Rena on 10/01/2007 03:59:30 I just bought a Alienware Aurora 9700 a few weeks ago, and it runs anything in the universe with no problem, its almost got full spec's these include CPU - AMD Turion 64 2.1GHZ Dual Nvidia GeForce Go 7900 cards running in SLI mode, giving me a total of 1 gig video memory 2Gig of fast ram 17inch screen Etc etc, everything you need for EVE, cost me 6 grand tho NZD =] EDITL Just so you all know i didnt spend 6 grand on a laptop just for EVE, im studying 3D Animation and then going onto game development so i need a grunty laptop for Maya/3DS MAX etc =P You remind me of the babe, what babe, babe with the power, what power, power of voodoo, who do, you do, do what, remi
Andreas Syneticus	Posted - 2007.01.10 04:13:00 - [27] Thanks so much for your replies so far! The minimum I'm aiming for at this point, is; 1.8 ghz Dual core 2GB RAM 256mb nVidia 7600 or Radeon x1600 Since the graphics board seems to be integrated (unless laptops have become much more modular?...), it's the 1 thing I can't upgrade later so I want to make a solid decision on the motherboard/GPU side... so the ASUS G1, or G2 are ideal candidates... Dell has some alright selections in their XPS line (but...Dell..hmm...meh?...).. and I'll give Alien another look. They sure are pricey, but worth every penny I'm sure... Although I don't really care about flashy lights, or funky casings. I care about performance. Keep those replies coming :)

Posted - 2007.01.10 04:28:00 - [28] I've got a core solo 1.8ghz proccesor (have an app for work that won't run on a dual core at all, even forced down to one processor) and 1.5 gb RAM. I run smooooth. It actually runs better than my desktop. --------- Representing all the casual gamers happily living in Empire, that want NO PART of your 0.0 annoyances.

Souvera Corvus Gallente	Posted - 2007.01.10 04:38:00 - [29] I've been running EVE on a 3 year old Toshiba with a 1.8 ghz HD, 512ram and an Nvidia Ge Force 440 with no issues whatsoever. There's a hell of a lot of money being spent out there....... "If man does not know to which port he is sailing, no wind is favourable"
Cammulos Magnetar Ltd	Posted - 2007.01.10 04:40:00 - [30] Funny thing, I just bought an Asus g1 yesterday, set to arrive sometime tomorrow. Will be more than happy to give you my 2cents on how it runs.
