Title: Laptop advice please Post by: Win Never on December 31, 2005, 09:48:27 AM Been planning on getting a laptop to play poker on for ages, saw a few offers in currys.

My advice would be to buy the Compaq out of the 3 you have listed. ;goodluck; ;goodluck; ;goodluck; Title: Re: Laptop advice please Post by: Timaloy on December 31, 2005, 10:05:57 AM I done the same thing, bought the fujitsu amilo pro (1st one on the list) dose the job perfectly and its good for pretty much everything sept games.
If you dont mind spending a little extra on the 3rd one, Id choose that one, same power as the others but it gives you 20gb more for movies and music and stuff.

If you multi-table online at all these are great for playing two tables side by side without any overlap.

If you want to do other stuff too then the Compaq is the way forward but its more powerful than you need for a few poker clients, you'd be wasting money imo
Title: Re: Laptop advice please Post by: Heid on December 31, 2005, 12:50:36 PM I like big and powerful..also agree re the wireless...it's fantastic!
Quite amazing the first time you take the lappy into the kitchen to make coffee, but it makes for very late nights so beware..I usually lug the lappyupstairsand surf before goingto bed .. better than reading a book.

Anything in this range will support that resolution. http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/features.aspx/inspn_9300?c=uk&cs=ukdhs1&l=en&s=dhs edit: infact it seems that you can have any model in that Dell Inspiron range and customise the order with a screen supporting that resolution.

Title: Re: Laptop advice please Post by: Nem on January 02, 2006, 02:30:58 PM But like I said to you a few weeks ago, within 6 months, you will be able to adjust the table size to your own particular taste on all Poker sites , just like the new Party Beta software.
