I need a laptop

[Kinseykinz]

If it makes you feel any better, I've been paying on an ASUS gaming laptop full-time since CE release...I have yet to have any major issues other than I wore out the tray fan it is ALWAYS resting on. Again, this wasn't any part of the computer, just the extra tray fan I keep the computer on to keep it cool.) I know 'desktops' are best..but I needed something compact, and efficient. I play more or less on the highest settings (I had to scale down the size a bit, but that was so i could play in windowed mode NOT because the game didn't work well full bore). And I'm playing on an Gamer ASUS laptop that was in your pricepoint, but is now almost 2 years old. Also, supposedly, 2.0 specs are to be 'gentler' on computers so that should help. Basically, as long as you keep it clean, and cool, and make sure you pack it well for traveling you should be good to go.

Make sure you buy a good cooling fan to set this laptop on. I use a targus one that has 2 fans and can be either run via a USB port on your computer or plugged into an outlet directly. The computer does have some hefty ventilation, but it can't keep up with the cooling demands on it's own when you are in heavy load zones/primals etc. With the additional coolingpad/fan, I don't have overheating issues.

One other thing: I have noticed when I try to play in some hotels/ away from home the internet lags way more than if I am at home. So usually I only log in to harvest/farm/craft if I'm not logging in from a fast,reliable connection. But again, it's the connection itself that screws me over when traveling, not the laptop.
