Anyone on laptops?

Just wondering, since I'm on a laptop myself (Dell Inspiron 8100) - who plays on laptops and what are your specs?

Oh yeah, and does anyone know if laptops will run okay with Natural Selection?

    That´s like asking "Can I eat rocks mom?". Yes you can but it will hurt your teeth. Get the idea? Good.

    LOL - apparently you haven't seen the specs of laptops lately.  The newest ones come equipped with GeForce4's.  I only have a 32 meg GeForce2 and it's a 1Ghz CPU - which is better than most desktop computers.

    My question was directed to someone who actually knew something - so don't be a jerk next time.

    Not to mention that it runs every Half-Life mod perfectly with great framerates... even Quake 3 at a pretty good rate.

    I have an IBM Thinkpad T30, with 256 MB RAM, a 1.8 MHz Pentium P4, and an ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 with 16 MB VRAM.  And let me tell you from personal experience, NS runs very well on it.

    my laptop:

    400mhz
    96MB RAM
    2gb hdd

    sure i can't play anything on it, but i got it for free!!! ^_^ I could prolly at least run HL in software mode or something if I had to, but I'm content to just keep MAME and Snes9x on there. ;)

    So everyone here is on a laptop? <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

    And Seraphic8X, did I say something about laptops not being able to run NS? No. I just told you to not eat rocks.
  • Seraphic8XSeraphic8X Join Date: 2002-06-15 Member: 771Members
    What does eating rocks have to do with using a laptop?  You seemed to imply that using a laptop sucks or lags a lot.

    he meant yeah u can play NS but (depending on the laptop) the fps and such will be almost painful.

    i dont completely agree, because laptops are hella fast nowadays

    well think of the little keyboard! and what if you dont got a little mouse for it. Those ball mouses make me mad, and the pads make me wanna electicute the people that mad them with the laptop! But on a good laptop it would of course work(why wouldnt it?) But teh mouse teh mouse!

    I'm on a laptop.  Pretty damn good one too I'd have to say.

    - 2ghz Processor
    - 512mb ram
    - 40 gb harddrive
    - video card is only an ATI Radeon though <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo-->

    Allright - my entire point was that laptops DO NOT suck by any extent anymore.

    As far as the keyboard and mouse comments go... the keyboard is fine and you can always attach a seperate mouse.  I have an MS Intellimouse Optical on mine.

    Inspiron 8000, 900 Mhz, 256 MB DDR, 32 MB ATI Rage Mobility M4...

    NS gets a good 30-40 fps at 1024x768.  It would get higher at 800x600, but 30-40 fps is enough for me.

    <side note>...

    Seraphic8X, are you on the Xbox Live beta?  I saw an editorial post about gamer-tags, and your name jumped out at me.  I just got in on the last leg of the beta and should be starting later this week.
