Re: Laptop Recommendations??
[quote=dizzyde;895192]No, not hard core gaming, but I do like playing Sims, and some other downloaded hidden object, and puzzle type games.
I just don't want any freezing up or lagging. My daughter has an HP and likes it really well, but this will be my first laptop, so I want to make the right
For stuff like that the two main things to consider is what sort of Video chip it has. Id want a Nvidia or ATI. Then how much video memory is allocated. Video chips don't have their own memory usually. They use what RAM is installed, which brings me to the next point. How much RAM is installed. If it was me I'd want at least 3 gigs. My HP has 2 and it still drags some.

Mine has 4 gigs, and has the Nvidia, does everything we need and isn't slow, so happy except for the size.

I have a HP G70 with graphics by NVIDIA... lots of storage, it was a little over $800.00, but the screen is 17 and it is too big to lug around.. I will never do that again. It would do everything you need it to. I'd swap it out for a smaller one though. We like it... but I love my daughter's friends HP which is smaller.

I love my 17 inch MacBook Pro. Of course I'm Mac. Got the iphone, the ipod, MacBook and waiting for the updated version of the ipad to come out so I can get it. Looking for a MacBible translation to go up against the KJV! lol
