for my birthday my wife is wants to give me a new laptop since my old one is dying.
she is buddgetting around 500 bucks
- Im pretty brand agnostics (amd/intel - nvidia/amd))
- I dont need super long battery time its mostly just to carry around for weekend outings or when i got back to denmark to visit family
- Ethernet port is a pretty hi requirments( 1gb preffred)
- Wifif N or above should surfice
- NO DUAL grapphiccs possible (It fucks up FFXI)
- 1080P monitor or above owuld be prefferbable
- Around 15" size
- hdmi out would be nice for connecting to tv's
- 256GB storage space wil lbe fine ( Alternstive i have 256GB Sata SSD i could put in it)
- OS is not needed i will most likely install Windows 7 on it
What I currently have used my laptop for is
- handbrake encoding
- master of orion(dos)
- civilization 2
- FFXI ( 3+6 accounts at a time- my current laptop struggles hard here)
So even thoug its for games its not for triple AA super high ress games
I aprreciate any feedback on what to look for
