Best Lappys for playing poker

[Amatay]

Mega siiiiiiigh. Just read a ton of reviews on the lappy above and most obv wank off over the picture quality etc but all slate the it because its weighs a ton, its very big and the battery is shit. I know you said that high res and light etc are not mutally exclusive but i really dunno what to do. I dont mind some overlap and am comfortable playing mini sized tables. maybe i should opt for something in between? lighter, smaller but with an ok res?

Think im gonna opt for this beast. Not ideal for travelling but its not like im gonna be lugging it around all the time. Cheers

Ive got the xps m1530 with that screen and its been fine, battery life is not great though but there is an option for a better battery.

The Acer I mentioned on page 1 looks like it would last 3 to 5 hours playing poker.

Question for you sir.  I had a quick look at the Studio 17, and it doesn't have the WUXGA screen (or whatever my 1920x1200 screen is on my Vostro), but some true-life mutlittouch something or another.  Do you know if the screen it has is any good, as the rest of the spec looks decent to me?

Just had a look, and the option is for a 17.3” 900p (HD+) TrueLife WLED Multi Touch panel

I'm now looking at this, but what does this mean???

I'd suggest it's 17.3" 1600 x 900.

TrueLife appears to mean "a bit brighter than normal".

The weird bit is "Multi Touch" - that's akin to the two-finger zoom on iPhones, a technology which I didn't think had reached notebook screens yet. You can get it in desktop monitors at a price.

I'd phone them and ask if they have any clue what it is. Personally I think their product description copywriters have been at the chrimbo brandy.

I am also looking at new laptops... I'm sure that when I first looked at the link put up by longines, the LCD option did actually state 1920 x 1080.

Dell quite often change their options based on component stock levels etc. If you really want the "new" Studio 17 with a 1920 x 1080 then phoning and discussing it with a sales bod may well get one.

Alternatively, the "old" Studio 17 can be ordered with a 1920x1200 LCD.

fk it, just brought the old dell 17 you mentioned for £650 with the 1920x1200, hope it does the job. Thanks for all your advice, cheers
