 Afternoon everyone,

 I'm looking to buy a new laptop, (which will be 99% used for poker!),...and as I'm not techy minded at all, any pointers/advice/suggestions to what I should look out for??

 Budget up to a grand I suppose.

Thanks for any help.

I have an Acer. It does ok for what I want it for. I actually decided on this laptop because I thought with a name like Acer, I would ACE online poker  Cheesy .  My laptop must have been broken when I got it though because that hasn't happened. lol.  I know Nemesis likes Dell laptops and I have promised him to have a look at them next time I go laptop shopping

I'm thinking about getting one of the Dells that you can 4 table on with no overlap but it says

Please note that this system has a ExpressCard slot and support the ExpressCard format only. This system does not have a PCMCIA card slot.

Is the PCMthingy what you use to plug in a sim card to get mobile internet access?

Are there any laptops that you are able to 4 table VC/Blonde size tables or is this impossible due to their massive size?

If there is one piece of advice I could ever give you about buying a laptop its: DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER BUYING A DELL.

I would recommend getting a laptop with a 17 inch WUXGA screen.  This will allow you to easily see 4 tables without any overlap.  Dell and Sony produce them.

The great Nemesis recommended the two below laptops from Dell and have to say the top one is stunning - a fantastic choice IMO.

http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/precn_m65?c=uk&cs=ukdhs1&l=en&s=dhs

As he told me at the time its the one he got Ram to buy(top one) - and obviously it comes with a guarantee that you will play like him Smiley

He also gave me the following advice which I followed;

Make sure you add these features:

WUXGA screen (you may want 17", you may not)

bluetooth

the most memory and hard drive capacity you can get (you wont be upgrading for a few years)

Never did say thanks Nem - thanks.

Shit post Nakor, such a clown.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

I think after he attacked a certain member he has not been back since.
