Hello,
I'm looking into getting a small laptop for when I go away on a 6 week training course. I won't be taking my desk top with me, but I will want to watch DVD's and play some games. Can anyone suggest a good, small not to heavy machine that will be able to play somthing like NWN 2? Oh and won't cost the earth either!! I live in the UK. Thanks

Check out Dell's XPS. It ain't cheap, but no laptop that can play NWN 2 is going to be cheap.

All these seem to cost an awful lot!!
What about something like this? http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...uct_uid=119776 Under graphics it's got "ATI Radeon Xpress 1100" listed, I'm not sure what that means. If I can't get one to run NWN2 would this one run Tomb Raider Legends? System Requirements: Microsoft Windows 2000, XP Pentium 3 1.0Ghz or Athlon XP Equivalent 256MB RAM 100% DirectX 9.0c -compatible 64MB 3D Accelerated Card with TnL (GeForce 3Ti / Radeon 9 series) Microsoft Windows 2000/XP compatible sound card (100% DirectX 9.0c -compatible) Quad-speed (4x) DVD-ROM drive 9.9GB free disk space 100% Windows 2000/XP compatible mouse and keyboard. If so I could take the home computer with me.

Laptops are always expensive. Unless you actually need a laptop, its always better to go with a desktop.

I used the Alienware website and built a good machine for 1,900 quid.
That ebuyer notebook you linked doesn't have a capable graphics card for NWN, I don't think (not 100% on that though). |
