I need a new computer. Both of my computers at home are ancient. My friend is offering me this computer at a very good price to me. Its brand new. This is his business. Anyways, It looks good to me, I dont know much about computers tho. Its a wide screen 15.4. will I be able to multi=table? and will i be able to make it high resolution to play poker? I only trust poker players to answer these questions! thanks again guys, by the way im getting this laptop at almost 50% off retail.

You won't be able to multitable (4) without overlap -- I don't think you can on any laptop. You'd need to get a secondary monitor. The laptop itself is fine though.

Wrong, see this x-post in the General forum.

I'd buy it at 50%, sell it at 75% and put it towards a better laptop. I'd go with 2.5 Ghz or better and 1 Gb of ram.

$700. I actually went ahead and bought it anyways. I figure if i dont like it, i can always ebay it and make a few bucks. anyways, my idea of multi-tabling is 2 tables, and very rarely 3 tables. So i figure i should be ok.
