How many here game on a laptop?

[FURRY BIRD]

You are considered weird in the gaming community if you game on a laptop, but how many do?

I just can't do it. I tried and it just feels uncomfortable like somethings missing. Plus I need a full size responsive keyboard.

I have a 17" monitor and a gaming pad and a gaming mouse, I couldn't do with any smaller screen.

I do, on a 19" widescreen with a full keyboard (with the number pads etc.)

I am happy with it...

I have one that my company bought me, specially requested from the Computer guys specs that would run the game.

But, at home I hook it up to a 22" widescreen and I have the Fang Gamepad that I use instead of the keyboard.

What are the specs and how well does it work on the wide screen?

I know the answer is probably no, but is it as good as a standard comp playing 2142?

Yes, on an Alienware AMLX - works well although the thing does get bloody hot with twin graphics

sounds like you need one of those laptop coolers for it.

I game on a MacBook Pro. CoD4 on about medium-high settings and BF2142 on high-max settings. Usually when I'm in my dorm, I have an external 21" that I game on. When I'm home during breaks, I game on the 15" screen which I actually prefer.

Intel 2 core 2.00GHz
2GB Ram
ATI MOBILITY RADEON X1600 128MB RAM

1024x768
Terrain - Med
Effects - Med
Geometry - High
Texture - Med
Lighting - Low (Soldiers how up better against the buildings.)
Dynamic Shadows - Off (Used to have these on but with multiple orbies and an EMP it would drop my FPS into the teens.)
Dynamic Lighting - Off
AA - Off
Texture Filtering - High
View Distance - 100% (Do whatever you have to so that you can run this at 100%)

I usually run around 40FPS with those settings.

Are you running XP or Vista?

i do, and im really happy with it because i can always play if i have a free period in school or something... as long as no one else is using the wifi (which never happens)....
ya, the keyboard is whack, but rebinded the keys in BF2142 to conform to my hands. actually, i like it more because i absolutely have to use the arrow keys to move (not AWSD) and the keys are all really close to my hand, so everything is fast.

even though the performance isnt so good (but i do have a really good laptop, beating most of the XPS laptops out there and for less that $900. check my xfire page (hooahguy14) for my system specs. theyre very good for the price!
IMO, laptops are better for casual gaming, since you can do it everywhere!
