HP zd8000

Has anyone heard of this? It should be pretty crazy for a gaming/multimedia laptop. Any thoughts? Link

Cheap gaming capable laptop

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Those look like really nice lappys at a reasonable price. Is the Dell Inspiron 8600 the only affordable Pentium M or Mobile Athlon lappy that has a 128 meg Radeon 9600 or better? I saw one of those acers had a 64 meg Radeon 9700. From my experience with video...

Cheap gaming capable laptop

Thanks guys. I checked out the Gateway 7405 GX. Looks like a good machine. The thing I dunno about though, is that for the same price, 1300 bucks, you can get a similarly outfitted Dell 8600, but with the 128 Radeon 9700 instead of a 64MB mobility 9600. Wouldn't a 64 meg vid card kind of hurt it...

Cheap gaming capable laptop

Thanks for the reply. So I've researched a little, and gaming in the non-native resolution for the monitor makes it look worse? But you mention that you game in widescreen. Does that mean I should be looking for laptops with a lower native resolution, like just an WXGA instead of the WUXGA or...

Cheap gaming capable laptop

Hey guys, Ok, I used to be looking at gaming DTRs. Then I realized I should just concentrate on my desktop for most of my gaming, and paying mid 2000's for a gaming laptop didn't make much sense. Not to mention they were bulky, heavy, and had terrible battery life. Then I started looking...

Looking for a notebook

Yeah, but unfortunately I'm primarily a PC user. I've got a desktop PC, and I'm also primarily a gamer, and apple isn't known for its gaming support.

Looking for a notebook

From what I understand the Dell 9200 with its 17 inch screen is about 7-8 pounds, and 5 hours battery life. If you go with anything non Pentium M, it'll most likely be heavier, thicker, and less batt life.

Looking for a notebook

Hey Guys, I'm in the market for a laptop. I've decided I want widescreen. 15.4 would be ok, but 17 would be best. I'd like Pentium M, because the lighter the better, and the longer the batt life the better. I'd also like some good gaming out of this comp, so something like an ATI Radeon...

Laptop Decision

Plus, I don't see much mention of Sager on these boards. I priced out a 2.0 ghz pentium M, 1 gig ram, 8X dvd burner, 40 gig HD on Dell and it came to $2,327. on PCTorque a Sager with those same specs was 1944.00. And the Sager had a 15.4 Widescreen WSXGA screen, while Dell was 14 inch, and the...

Is there a difference between Centrino and Dothan? And how do I measure that in terms of real Ghz I'm used to, where like 3.0 and over is good?

Laptop Decision

Thanks for the reply. As I've been researching, I'm actually leaning more toward a lighter lappy with a longer battery life than a DTR. But I'd still like to be able to game on it. I've been looking at Athlon 64's, but the Sager that has it (and a 17 inch screen, which would be nice), is 9...

Laptop Decision

Hey guys, I've been researching laptops recently. I used the search function to look for advice on building a gaming laptop, but I'm still undecided. Here's my situation. My current computer is alright: Athlon 64 3000+ (recently bought) 1 gig ram (various speeds, so relatively slow)...
