Anything with 2GB+ RAM, dual core processor, 250+ HD space and for graphics, just compare benchmarks online, it's best you try and get a dedicated rather than integrated card if you're serious about getting a good gaming experience out of it.
Otherwise, you can get really cheap laptops for what I just said with integrated graphics cards and for college work, there's no point spending too much on it.
Staying at my Grandad's for a few weeks while he's on holiday to see what it's like to live myself before heading off to University, title of the thread basically sums up what most of you will say, just saying so you all know why I'm inactive.
Anyway, what do you recommend I do that is productive since I have (basically) no internet?
See you all in game in a few weeks... if I've not drank myself to death.
Well I did follow a tut. to get rid of Pulse-audio but I'm not completely sure it's fully removed. I have re-installed ALSA several times too. I am using 10.04 as well.
My headset is just a normal jack and I think it's just the one sound card but I want sound from my speakers firstly.
Thanks.
Does anyone know anything about Ubuntu here? Don't go google my problem for me and paste links and shit because I've tried all that.
So if anyone here can genuinely help me by looking at lines of code to tell me what's up, thanks.
If the Sony was a bit smaller and lighter then yeah, I would probably go for it but it seems rather bulky.
As for netbooks, I've been having difficulty to even find one in my price range that is quite fast.
Apparently that Sony isn't so great at running games (I have a PC to run games any) plus the fact it isn't quite as portable as the HP. I'm not looking for a gaming laptop, I'm looking for something that's fast, portable, great/good battery life and has a good screen.
The HP seems pretty good for all these points and it isn't as expensive as the Sony...
I'm enjoying my life of independence!
