Gaming Laptop
I have an older Dell Inspiron 8100, 1GB RAM Laptop. I tried to load Quake 4 on it, and it really was awful! I am thinking about getting a new laptop, and I saw several "gaming" laptops. Besides being big and heavy, what is the difference between a normal laptop and a gaming laptop?
Can I run Quake 4 on a $1000 standard laptop, or do I really need to fork out more for a gaming laptop?
Re: Gaming Laptop
A "gaming" laptop will typically have more aggressive clocks, but most importantly a bigger, more desktop-like video card. Unless you really like the gaudy look of gamer laptops though, you can potentially find a laptop with a decent video card onboard for $1,000 without much difficulty.

My brother has just bought a normal laptop, but uses it for gaming. On the same site, there were gaming laptops advertised with the same spec, but for a higher price!
The laptop is:
Intel 2.0Ghz dual core (not sure which)
2gb DDR2 RAM
320GB HDD
nVidia 9600M Graphics chip
15.4" screen
And it runs most games smoothly. It cost £560 from PCSpecialist.co.uk
Nikon D40 + Sigma 18-200 f/3.5-6.3 + Nikon Speedlight SB-600
