Laptop recommendations

Post #1by Reiko » 17.10.2010, 19:10

Can anybody recommend a laptop that would run celestia nice and smooth? It needs to be windows based and preferably with an Nvidia graphics card.
I know nothing about laptops so have no idea what processors and cards are considered fast or not.

Thank you

The laptop manufacturers' drivers are usually out of date, too.
I use the driver downloaded from Nvidia on my Dell E6510.

However, unless you have other reasons for buying Dell, I have to recommend against purchasing Dell equipment in general. Their customer service is one of the worst. Lenovo's tends to be good. HP's isn't too bad.
