Which Dell Laptop?

[Todt Von Oben]

At home, we have OFF running in a brand new Dell XPS where it's the only program other than those that come with the computer. Works great.

 

I want to buy a Dell Laptop to take the game on the road with me when I travel. Using it as an OFF flight sim will be its dedicated function.

 

(I've heard Mac's provide superior gaming, but have no experience with them, so I'm leaning towards Dell.)

 

I'm not well informed as to what would be the best model, type of processor, size of CPU and RAM, monitor size, which graphics card, sound card, joystick, or rudder pedals for this purpose.

 

Polling the computer heads out there: figured on the use of VISTA...If you were going to set one up, what Laptop would you buy, and with what would you equip it? And if you've got the time, please explain why?

 

Thanks in advance.

What is your budget? Secondly, take a look at the ASUS laptops on NewEgg. I bought one of their gaming laptops for my wife and it is outstanding.

Thanks for the reply. Budget...say around two grand more or less.

 

Will look up ASUS gaming laptops. Any other suggestions?
