capa Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Thinking of making the swithc from an old reliable, but outdated and noisy desktop, to a new laptop. Obviously, it has to support MVP and would love to play WW II shooters on it as well. It will mostly be used as a gaming machine. Anyone have any recommendations on good laptops that won't break the bank (<$1500) that will run MVP flawlessly (no ghost faces, etc.) as well as supporting games like COD and other WWII stuff?

capa Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 Thanks for the link. What laptop processor should I be looking at...and videocard? I will be getting a min of 1024mb DDR RAM, but need some input on processor and videocard. Also, will be sticking with WIN XP...not Vista.

ronmexico Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Any laptop will do for gaming which costs 1500. Try looking for 1 GB Ram 2 GHZ processor, atleast Non-integrated video card, 256 MB atleast Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/30889-need-advice-on-laptop-that-will-run-mvp/#findComment-440740 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also note that laptop's heat up very quicky when it's doing it's job (ex; playing games, doing multiple processes) well atleast my old laptop was like that. hope that helps :) Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/30889-need-advice-on-laptop-that-will-run-mvp/#findComment-440742 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnson989 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Heres the laptop I have... its great for gaming, and doesn't overheat that much.

ronmexico Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 This thing is hella expensive though, I went to dell.com and built my own, I came up with one for under $1000 with a 2.2GHZ processor, 2 GB ram and 128 MB Video card. I'm gonna go try and build another, this one was built off the basis off a Inspiron 1521.

ronmexico Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Though, I just built from a M1210 and it's wicked cheap still: 2.16 GHZ Dual Core Processor 2GB DDR2 SDRAM 256 MB Graphics card 120 GB HD DVD-RW Burner (Dual layer I presume) Vista Home Premium :eew: For $1404. I based it on spending $1500 though, so you can downgrade to 1 gig of ram, 80 gigs of HD space or 2.00 or 1.8 GHZ processor and save some cash, though I wouldn't recommend going lower then 2 GHZ.

wrigleyville33 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 i also play on my laptop as well... but i thought that laptops couldnt have video cards i thought only desktops could, but you can upgrade the mb of ram which will make mvp run much smoother...

Homer Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 i have a laptop and it's fine for games. it's not in your price range, so i won't comment, but yes they heat up. but yes there are easy fixes for them. but that's another topic. i've always been curious to try alienware, but they're pricey.

I did this once and you are right...it was awesome. I am looking to go to a laptop so I can take the thing with me on vacation, and have a bit more flexibilty where I play it around the house. But you are correct - building or at least configuiring your own desktop is fun and cheaper.
