What would be a few brands and models one would recommend to buy. Just really using it for poker when traveling and feeling like sitting on the couch.

I think this whole "best" concept is bullshit. Do you want a light, a fast or a good value computer? People seem to like dell around here so check those out. If you do not multi table (without overlap that is) you could buy any computer realy.

I do multi table and i do like dell as well, since I have one with a 20 inch for my home computer

Go for a dell laptop then [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] 512mb and uxga, the rest should take care if itself.

whats the difference between and xga and uxga display

MyMindIsGoing · #7 09-13-2005, 03:34 PM

xga = 1024*768
uxga = 1600*1200 (=no overlap playing 4 tables)

WUXGA is quite nice as well. 1920 x 1200 resolution gives you a little bit more room when multi-tabling if you have the extra $.

is 512 enough for four-tabling on one site, AND running pokertracker?

if doing nothing but playing poker on it, (no music, no pic's) -
what would an adequate sized hard drive be, if one plays only 4-5 hours a week?

how important is the gHz for such a laptop, and what would you minimum requirements be?

i want a cheap, but efficient machine for poker only.
stubbornly, i want to buy new only.
thx,
doc

Just got my Dell 9300. It has 512MB of RAM and seems like plenty when 4-tabling w/ PT, PAHud, and a web browser.
