Wow they have labtop's already ?
For a good laptop for games you would need a pretty expensive one.
look for about 2000+ mhz & 512+ ram

Well it all depends on what your price range is.

If your looking to play games, your going to want to have a fairly sufficient ammount of RAM, and a high end video card. If you can find a pentium 4 that supports hyperthreading your going to want to go with that, for a semi-strict price ranger, otherwise spring for a solid dual-core. Intel Core 2 Duo are faster than hell if you ask me.

Basically look for something along these lines.

1gb RAM
120gb @ 7200RPM or 80GB @ 10,000 RPM for gaming (going to cost extra)
128MB GPU (Video Card) or 256MB+ for gaming (going to cost extra)
3.0Ghz Pentium 4 intel w/ Hyperthreading technology, Any core 2 duo, or A mid to high end dual-core processor (2.2Ghz or higher)

Keep in mind you dont want anything to bulky and if they try and get you to spring for a sound card, dont bother the onboard one will be just fine. If you have any questions im here.

Hehe, LoadingNow the word is laptop.Although searching on ebay for labtop, might end up getting you a cheaper price ;).

Basically you want a fast processor, Core 2 duo is great, and anything over 1GB of ram. You also want a moderate video card, and probably a DVD RW drive....Other than that try finding the cheapest, laptap that meet your requirements. Not a Dell, please.
