Spud133 Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 (edited) Lo all, After a slight half asleep accident this morning, I knocked a drink over my laptop and the people at the computer shop said it would be terminal. So therefore I need help to decide which laptop I should get. I believe I have about £350 after claiming from the insurance. Could anyone advise me on which one to get as I am no good with this type of thing. I would want to be able to play both Heat and rFactor, and if i could, Race Driver Grid and Colin McRae Dirt. (But I do not have to play the last two) Any help muchly apprichated. Edited February 12, 2009 by Spud133 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TADS Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/Toshiba_Sat...on.asp?PID=1051 Would anyone say this is recomended or what? IMHO IF you want to play rFactor i would go for a desktop pc as you need good graphics card and not realy the onbord type ok i might get shot down here for saying that as some do use onbord BUT if you want to see what rFactor is like you need to have something that is NOT sharing the ram of your pc/laptop.. i have # Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T5270 # (1.5 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 2 MB L2 cache) # 1 GB Ram # 80 GB Hard Drive, 5400 rpm # DVD±RW (+R double layer) / DVD-RAM # 15.4" TFT 1280 x 800 ( WXGA ) # Intel GMA X3100 Graphics # Microsoft Windows Vista and rFactor is very slow and get like 15fps when im in test mode (with no other cars on track) something like this would be ok and just get yourself a PCIE grpahics card to go in it desktop pc please note this is just my opion im not saying GO GET IT! hope it helps TADS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
