Okay, this is going to sound dumb ... but bear with me.
I have a wife and she enjoys it when we watch TV together. The thing is, I'd much rather be playing poker than watching 'Sex in the City' re-runs. Our computer is located in our bedroom (small 1 bedroom apartment). She has said repeatedly, she doesn't care if I'm sitting on the couch reading a book, listening to music, or playing poker on a laptop. She just wants to be 'with' me. I can understand that, in a strange way, although we still bicker about it a little. The thing is... I don't have a laptop. So, rather than let this become a wedge that will drive us apart, I'm willing to just bite the bullet and buy the laptop... what is the lowest specs that I would need to run 3 tables and pokertracker at once?
Should I gamble and get a refurbished computer?
Should I just stop whining and pony up the $700 for a 1.3 GHz system?
I'm kind of unsure how much I need since I'd be using this for just poker. The last question... is this stupid or brilliant? (Since I'll be spending money to be doing the same thing I could only 15 feet away, but in ANOTHER ROOM.)
