So, my birthday is in a few weeks, and I'm going to get a laptop. I need one that will hold about 4 or 5 sims games, runs fast (because the one I have now takes abour 20 minutes to load  ), and internet, of course. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks  |

I'm not the best about knowing about laptop stuff and such, so sorry before hand if this post is a little pointless and not what you need.
I recommend that before you/someone else gets you the laptop you go drop in at stores like Future Shop or Staples. Bring the latest expansion pack of the Sims that you plan on installing on the laptop and ask the techie person who's the most informed about laptops which laptop would handle a game like that with other expansion packs the best, with good graphics and good speed. He'll help you out, I'm sure.
I wanted to originally get a laptop but I ended up deciding not too. I realized I would need a computer to get everything I wanted out of my Sims game, which is why I use my Acer computer for Sims 2. It runs pretty well, good graphics and such. I just asked the techie person at Future Shop which computer would run my games the best :].
Good luck finding a good laptop!

The main thing to look for would be more than 256mb of dedicated (not shared) graphics on the graphics card, so ATI or Nvidia. You'll also want 2gb of RAM upwards, though that is relatively low on new models today. It really depends what the budget is and what country you're in. If I posted a few choice ones from the UK like this one, it might not be available in the US or elsewhere. |

Thanks guys! I think I might get another Dell... My old one worked, it's just been through drops and things like that...

HP Pavillions are good gaming comps. Gabe (my older one) is several years old, and holds ALL my stuff, plus all my Sims (and a few other games), and a file of over 7500 pieces of CC. The newer ones are even better, but you really need to go looking. Talk to one of the UberGeeks, they can tell you what they'd use. That's how I got Kevin (last year).
