OT-Laptops and Racing sims

I'm doing some research for my brother who is looking to buy himself a laptop for personal use (his business 'puters are all mac and doesn't know much about windows based machines) and would like to know if he'd be able to run things like GPL and GP3. I know there are some issues with laptops and some games, but not owning a laptop myself I don't know how to advise him. Any suggestions or things to look out for would be greatly appreciated. Thanks TJSB

we have an old IBM Thinkpad P133. The problem is the monitor, the refresh rates are really bad, so you see some wierd blending and overlapping. It made it impossible for me to play N2 on it. I have no idea what the new ones are like, I'm just talking from what I know. (Just covering my ass :) ) Thanks, Alex Thomas JS Brown <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
