I've been thinking about a PC option and gave some attention to the laptop PCs (AKA "notebooks")... While I understand that laptops are basically intended for mobile Internet access and Office software applications, some of the newer models have included at least 8 Megs of video RAM, a sound card, and even fairly large (6 Gig) hard drives. One model is the Compaq Presario N1292; the other is an HP, the Pavilion 3150C. How would N3 or NL work with a laptop? Would the perfor- mance be comparable with a minimum-level desktop or should I skip the laptop option all together? With the HP model using a mobile Celeron chip, should I opt for an HP which uses something faster (PIII)? Thanks ahead of time for you assistance, -- Yujon3D.
>I've been thinking about a PC option and gave some attention >to the laptop PCs (AKA "notebooks")... If you don't need a laptop for the purpose a laptop was invented, don't buy one. You can get a much nicer desktop computer for the same $$$ and won't have to worry about cajoling the weird stuff inside the laptop into running games. Laptops are also pretty hard to upgrade... ~daxe -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----
