GB80 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I'm thinking about getting a laptop, which will mainly be used for poker. I'm pretty crap with computers, so I'm just wondering what size hard drive etc I should be looking at. Can anyone help or recommend anything?

slick mick Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Re: Laptops I use a pretty basic laptop which I got from Dixons for £400, think you can get them for about £350 now. Any new entry level laptop is good enough to play poker with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatBoyFat Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Re: Laptops I would recommend you think about getting one with at least 1600x1200 resolution so that you can have 4 normal sized tables displayed without overlap. You will pay extra for this. Dell is a good place to start IMHO. FBF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Re: Laptops First thing I'd question is if you REALLY want/need a laptop for your poker ..... what's your main reasoning? How often do you expect to use it away from the desk? With a desktop, you get far more for your money (and will be easier/cheaper to upgrade/expand). I mainly use a Dell Insiron 9100 - I plug a wireless keyboard and mouse into it and a second monitor ..... 99% of the time it's used as a desktop by me.....

GB80 Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 Re: Laptops Ta folks, I'll have a look at Dell & Dixons then. I want a Laptop instead of a Desktop for a few reasons, but the main one is that I think I'm going to have a bit more time away from home soon. I'd still use my desktop when I was at home until it dies on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rippyuk Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Re: Laptops I know it's not normally on to plug other forums, but the MoneySavingExpert forum is definately the place to find a good deal on a laptop. Two deals worth a look right now: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=425664&highlight=dell http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=407974&highlight=dell Look at www.ebuyer.co.uk - they're very competitively priced for most things :ok Bought my mum an eBuyer laptop for Christmas, was an Acer. Was good value, but quite disappointed with the build quality - and the size/weight of the laptop. For the sake of a few extra pounds its worth buying a better brand like Dell or IBM.

GB80 Posted April 20, 2007 Author Share Posted April 20, 2007 Re: Laptops Thanks for the help everyone. Settled for getting a Dell Inspiron 9400 off ebay for about £100 less than it would have been on Dell's site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
