I am in university. I don't have much time.

Plus, having built so much designs, i don't have many ideas left now...

I have been buying Toshiba for about 5 years, and had one total piece of junk, and my favorite one lasted 2 years and then the motherboard went bad and they wanted over $600.00 to fix after keeping it for about 8 months.
If it goes bad after warranty......just go buy a new one and don't mess with them.
They did fix 2-3 that were still under warranty and got them back to me pretty quick.

Well, i have 2 years of "replace with new comp if it fails" warranty, and +2 years of "free repair" warranty to be precise.

Just curious, is your CPU an AMD or Intel? AMD has a pretty bad reputation for their mobile processors.

Damn Nary for not waiting for a suggestion: the Toshiba Libretto!

I WAITED MORE THAN ENOUGH.

Incredirobotwars · « **Reply #69 on:** October 12, 2010, 02:19:40 PM »

I'd only just found the thread. Anyway, the Toshiba Libretto is a laptop where there is another screen where the keyboard should be. Both screens have multitouch, too!

Naryar · « **Reply #70 on:** October 19, 2010, 03:08:48 AM »

I am using it right now :D

The touchpad is a BITCH, but otherwise it's pretty nice.

RA2 Stock even works on Windows 7 with compatibility mode and in the Program Files (x86) folder.

Incredirobotwars · « **Reply #71 on:** October 19, 2010, 07:48:48 AM »

Cool. As long as you're happy. Touchpads are usually BITCHes anyway.

I think the new Macbook Pro's will. Provided you install Windows on them.

A Mac? For gaming? Bitch please.

Sage · « **Reply #78 on:** October 19, 2010, 08:04:32 PM »

Apples are the best computers for gaming. But mac OS cant handle it. therefore, install windows on your mac via boot camp. because, windows is the superior OS.

I never rules out a Macbook.. we down here just cal all portable computers Laptops no matter the brand :P

its either a Mac or Toshiba, I know I can run SC2 on either but its mainly for being able to do work on the go, which for graphics wise I would rather a mac but it means a heap of re-buying stuff too..
