do you have any weight preferences? 17 inches are around 8 pounds and bigger. 15.4 inches are around 5-6 pounds and a little smaller. yes they play perfectly fine. many games now support widescreen.

what about hp averatec emachines compaq what of those do you reccomend or a laptop from walmart bestbuy newegg or tigerdirect

alanuofm · 08-23-2005, 09:11 PM

hp/compaq has the worst line up of video cards. and every computer i have configured with dell has been better/cheaper than ones i have found at bestbest buy(including their lineup of emachines) and newegg. walmart tends to sell value computers for general internet surfing use. never really looked into tigerdirect.

i am a fan of the pentium M due to its incredible speed along with low wattage consumption.
