I need one with the longest battery life while being able to play a game like HL1. Thanks.

I heard this one is pretty good. Also this one ain't bad. If they don't do it, you can always try this one.


Pretty much any laptop can play the original Half-Life without too much trouble.

That 10" Vaio had a 7 hour battery or something. The new ThinkPad lasts about the same time.

You really mean Half Life 1? My calculator can run that

up urs i wanted someones opinion that was an enthusiets like me. o and dont ever post on this thread again unless u got something constructive AND relavent to say. sorry 4 bad grammer to laze to spel it al .

meant 2 sorry. basicly something i can use for school and a little low rez gaming here and there.

I post whenever I fell the urge to do so. And by the way; this was meant to be a joke. No need to be upset there.

lol, i just passed my cursor over the link to see what u referenced, and i was not suprised at all, i needed that after visiting the "Conroe bug found" thread.

Even THIS ONE will play HL1. Just buy another 512MB of RAM (for a total of 768), and format the HDD/reinstall Windows with that disk that comes with it. Pretty much any laptop will play HL1, even the ones with integrated graphics.

i wasnt mad at u it was the other guy. sorry bad memories of sidvis (holds self in fetal position).

HL2 i meant.

How much can you spend?

Now that IS something different...

Im willing to go up to 1k, including needed upgrades (like 1Gb of ram).

if u are not averse to refurbished laptops u can check out dell's refurbished site,

www.outlet.dell.com

i have bought from them myself, the laptops are great, and cheaper, they come with the same warrantee as new laptops.

I couldnt find a scratch or problem with my refurbished 9100 , works like a charm.

Laptops ar egenerally more expensive i you want to play games. Youcan't get an Intel IGP. You need at least a Radeon or GeForce Go.


Somethign like this would probably play at 800x600.

Turion


Most of the Centrinos have the Intel graphics which will get you about 10 fps.
