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!

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. :/

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...

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

While the connection may read 10M...the reality is thats just the local connection--the hotels choke you on the outbound leg to whatever cheap 128k/256k pipe they have. Plus the fun of logging on after work and watching the bandwidth reduced to near-zero as the fellow hotel guests begin **** downloads and other silliness Of course with a wireless connection you can sometimes do better depending on the location (hehe...you silly folks and your non-password/MAC addy protected wireless home networks ...scary how many of you are out there without a clue....but cheers for the EvE bandwidth options )

Will be more than happy to give you my 2cents on how it runs. Yes, please do! I think the only difference between the G1 and G2 is the 17" display on the G2, I can't find much difference outside of that... I checked out Alienware again, but find they can't provide the same performance as other makers (ASUS) for the price point... If they were more competitively priced, I'd probably go Alien.

Backalley Anna Jericho Fraction The Star Fraction	Posted - 2007.01.10 17:09:00 - [43] Dell 9400 w/NVidia GeForce go 7400 256 2ghz Intel duo 2 gb ram 7200rpm hd I run 2 clients at once with no problems. I can handle pvp on one and scouting on the other. The key is a good fast video card and a fast HDD. If you want to game, drop the $$ for the better video card- the typical Radeon x800 promoted in "gaming notebooks" just won't cut it. Mine is more of a desktop replacement really, with the 17.1" display I get just under 2 hours on the battery (and that is the extended one too) If you can afford to wait about 2 months you can get a good deal from Dell. They offer the biggest discounts at the end of the first fiscal quarter. I guess they are trying for high sales numbers at the start of the year. Retail on that rig was about $3k, I got mine through my company for less (27 offices with Dell products helps) but you should also look online for coupons. I bought a $50-off stacking discount code from a guy on Ebay for $10, and saved an extra $40. aside from the crappy battery life I'm very happy with mine.

Fornacis Gallente hirr Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2007.01.10 17:24:00 - [45] Get you a Dell XPS laptop....built for gaming and you will be fine. I'm using a COMPAQ Evo with Radeon 7500, and it runs Eve well but I wouldn't PvP with it.
Lea Re Caldari CAPITAL TRUST FREGE Alliance	Posted - 2007.01.10 20:43:00 - [46] My setup is Sempron 2800+ 512 ram geforce Go5200 64MB and ive been playing eve on it for last year. so far im really happy. its all a matter of keeping your system clean
Aleksander Magnus	Posted - 2007.01.10 21:18:00 - [47] It's pretty simple. 1. Buy from an online retailer. If you're traveling you probably wont have access to a Best Buy all the time, so go ahead and buy one online, it costs less. (Sorry if you already knew this but a lot people seem to feel safer paying twice as much for a laptop from Best Buy or whatever because they can take it there to get it fixed, so just getting this out of the way first). 2. Decide what screensize you want (bigger screen is nicer to look at but increase price and decreases portability). I play on a 15.4 inch widescreen. 3. Once you pick screensize price out models from several manufacturers. Get the best cpu and most amount of RAM you can. A killer graphics card is always nice to have, but not neccessary for EVE with the current engine. (The new engine will change this, but the older engine will still be there) 4. Buy whichever one you like best, read reviews and whatnot to help you make your choice, figure out how to get the best deal, etc. I will not reccomend a specific laptop because different people will like different manufacturers and whatnot, and most of the laptops people are reccomending are based on the market x number of months ago, and the fact is it changes so often you might as well not even bother. The laptop I play on is a Dell E1505. It has a 15.4" widescreen display capale of 1650x1050 rez, a 2.0 Ghz dual core CPU (it pwns, get even better if you can), a Radeon Mobility X1400 (kinda meh but the laptop isn't large enough for a good card, not a big deal for EVE), and 2 gigs of RAM. Cost was approx $1550 in July. I can run the game with full AA and AF and max rez however because I live in 0.0 space I leave the AA and AF off in case of unexpected pvp. You can get an even better laptop now no problem for about the same money. Just do some poking around to find a good deal. Hope that helps.
Ranko Antares Frontier The Fifth Race	Posted - 2007.01.10 21:46:00 - [48] I would recommend one of the new MacBook Pro's. I just bought one of the 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo models, 2 gig ram, 256mb ATI X1600 Gfx. Works in EVE lightning fast, I run OSX on it for everything, apart from EVE which sits on a 5 gig WinXP BootCamp partition. Wish they would release EVE for OS X or find away to run it from the OS X environment tho.. even if it uses Cedega. --- fixed my sig images from 24,241 bytes to 23,997 bytes ^_^

Skrypt Shinra Lotka Volterra	Posted - 2007.01.13 07:24:00 - [50] While at college, I play on a dv800 from HP. Great laptop, huge screen, good play. About 7 months ago I paid like 1800 for it. Also, it plays BF2142 nicely. ___________

Very sweet machine but as mentioned expensive. I don't have the extra monitors but I can run two eves in windowed mode while watching a movie and web browsing/downloading and no lag at all.

I narrowed my selection to two options because the value of these lil beasts outwieghs anything else I've seen, period. I needed small but powerfull and not too pricey, $1300-$1600. They also come with XP and free upgrades to vista so you get a choice :D ATI x1700 Nvidia 7700 here's a great website for GPU comparisons

Forget alienware.. go to www.pctorque.com and get a Sager... BTW fo all those Alienware hypers... Alienware dosen't build their own laptops.. they buy them from a company called Clevo. Sager also buys their laptops from Clevo. pctorque.com sells sagers Sagers = Alienwares w/o the extra 1k you spend for the glowing head and excess crap (assuming you dont wanna look like a complete geek when you pull out an alienware) Buy Sager.. I got one and love it.. play all my games and do my 3d modeling an animation on it. I got a 3.4ghz Intel cpu 1 gig ram 256meg NVidia GeForce 6800 go card I have max graphics turned on on all my games and only experience connection lag rather then graphic lag. to recap... Go Sager.. forget alienware and their huge markups. ------------ This is not War... This is pest control - Dalek Sek Happiness is a warm railgun

I can handle pvp on one and scouting on the other. Same here - Just got my 9400 2 weeks ago same specs. It runs dual clients better than my desktop does. Price came out to be just under $2.5k with dell's rebates, deals, etc. Be sure to check both the home and business side of Dell for the best deal - the specs come out the same, but the prices can differ by $100 or more.
Discordian Saint	Posted - 2007.02.15 19:07:00 - [57] I play EVE on my HP dv9000 series notebook and it runs great. The machine is an Intel Core 2 Duo 1.67Ghz, 2GB of RAM, a GeForce Go 7600 video card with 256Mb dedicated DDR3 memory and a 17" widescreen. It runs just dandy having firefox, eve radio in winamp and eve running (with in game audio on), even in JITA I often connect my 21" Viewsonic widescreen to the VGA output to play at 1680x1050 with only a small, 10-15%, hit in framerate. Inside stations I get 130+ fps and in average space it normally runs around 60-70fps with crowded scenes dropping it to split-second lows of 20-30fps. When I turn the multi-sample up to 4 it cuts the frame-rates down noticeably so I normally have it set to 1. There are still those momentary pauses that I think is just a function of the EVE client and you'll never totally get rid of until they rewrite the client.

Koi Yokuma Karnival of Death Squad Vis Major	Posted - 2007.02.15 20:22:00 - [62] I play this game from both home and work. At home I have a rediculous computer (nice being an IT manager) and I use a 5 year old laptop at work. The only problem I have with the laptop is the amount of time Eve takes on the initial load. A good 5 minutes sometimes, but other than that, I don't have a problem in the world. Granted, I'm not engaged in 500 on 500 fleet battles, but that'll lag out anything connected to tranquility. hehe. Specs for my pathetic laptop: Mobile intel Pentium 4: 2.2 GHz Radeon 9000 (LMFAO, i just realized how ancient this puter is!) 512MB RAM lol. If I can play on that, you can play this on almost anything! For the record, I'm not suggesting you get the cheapest piece of crap you can find.
Milochka	Posted - 2007.02.15 20:40:00 - [63] My 2 cents : I played EVE on 2 laptops : a) Acer TravelMate 4000, 1.6 Ghz Pentium M, 1 Gb RAM, ATI Radeon 9700 mobility video b) Asus A6, 1.83 Ghz Intel Core Duo, 1Gb RAM, ATI Radeon X1600 mobility video From my experience both laptops show about same performance in EVE, enough for any kind of activity. Used to be intensive lvl 4 missions farmer but mostly pvp now, no problems at all.

Ephemeron Golden Fury Curse Alliance	Posted - 2007.02.16 04:13:00 - [66] I play EVE on laptop, and I PvP with it all the time. It works great. Specs are: System model: LifeBook E Series Manufacturer: Fujitsu RAM: 1024 MB Processor: Pentium 2.0 GHz Graphics card: ATI Mobility Radeon X600 - 64 MB It's not even that uber, but I never had any problem with it. Tho it's very important to have a real optical mouse, cause EVE is so mouse-dependent. The touchpad would be rather bad.

Max Godsnottlingson Amarr Freelancing Corp Confederation of Independent Corporations	Posted - 2007.02.16 10:21:00 - [68] I played Eve for most of last year on a Fujitsu P4 based lap top. Generally I as able to play all aspects of Eve OK. But the thing you do need to take into account is that the game works your system hard, and I had some severe overheating issues, especially in the summer when the ambiant air temp was high. I overcome this to an extent by getting a twin fan cooling stand to sit it on, but I never realy overcome the problem until I found an old desktop fan and had it blowing directly onto the side of the laptop where the CPU was fitted

I second this. rockdirect website is the place to go for gaming laptops, Its basically a desktop replacement, and handles eve awesomely. I bought the XCTX pro for just over ú1000 and I have a sexy 17 inch widescreen laptop that plays eve at 1680 x 1050 and pvp in gang and fleets perfectly. You can even dual client on this laptop.

Juwi Kotch Gallente VIRTUAL LIFE VANGUARD	Posted - 2007.02.16 13:12:00 - [72] I play EVE on a 3 year old Acer Aspire 1350 Laptop with a Mobile AMD Athlon XP 2400+ processer, 512 MB RAM, a 40GB 5200 harddrive, and an ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 graphics chip. It works not great, but ok. Would desperatly need more RAM, but I don't invest in that laptop anymore, since I will be buying a new one later this year (waiting for laptops with a new DX10 card). Btw..., since all laptops now come with Vista, the new one will be the first I'll install Linux on... Juwi Kotch JOIN NOW, KLICK SIG!
Lysunder KDM Corp Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2007.02.16 13:22:00 - [73] People will probably flame me for this, this is the more expensive 'desktop replacement' option. Everyone i know who has owned one of these laptops say they rohk. I own an alienware laptop and its awesome. I say an Alienware m9700. You can config one yourself with a single GPU and 2gb ram for less than ú1600. and the 17" widescreens are stunning on these things. Like i said, is the expensive option but the 9700 is a very nice machine. they use the nvidia 7900 GPU's, which work very well with Eve in my experience.
Arathian Evasion Amarr The Dapper Bandits	Posted - 2007.02.16 13:30:00 - [74] I play eve solely on my laptop and have ever since my power supply died in my desktop (in a firey show of sparks & smoke). It runs eve just fine, and it's a year old now. MSI MS-1029 Case AMD Turion 64 MT-37 (2GHZ) 1GB DDR ATI x700 128/128
Koi Yokuma Karnival of Death Squad Vis Major	Posted - 2007.02.16 15:12:00 - [75] No flame intended here, just some sound advice. Dell is alienware. You can build the same exact systems on Dell's site and on Alien's site yet the alien puter costs a lot more. The only difference is the neon colors of the case and the picture of the alien. Build a dell and grab a sticker and some spray paint and you've got yourself some alien ware.
