Default Re: Windows 7 - video cards and games

What kind of gaming are you looking to do with your laptop? If you want to play the newest games, you really are going to be hard-pressed for finding a laptop that can do the job well.

Also, it'd be helpful if you gave price range as to what you are willing to spend Wellard.

As a rule of thumb, you are never going to be able to buy a laptop as powerful as a desktop for the price equivalent. From my own personal opinion, I detest laptops. Too many models are plagued by incredibly crappy cooling designs, weak/flimsy chassis, etc. They are much more prone to failure. That's just my view on laptops, and why I shy away from them.

Unless you are running some serious legacy software, go with 64 bit. I've had no problems with an application not running because of a 64 bit OS. It is more secure, allows more RAM, and really 32 bit is getting long in the tooth/obsolete.

If you have some models you'd want to list, that'd work as well.
