Mid-range gaming laptop
I'm looking for a laptop for someone who wants to be able to do some gaming. Games include half-life 2, UT3, and TF2.
Oh, and preferably XP. Any suggestions? Thanks

Call Dell and see if the XP downgrade is available on a XPS M1530.

What's the budget? "Mid-range" means different things to different people. BTW, take a look at this:

Good thing to note, tfh...almost forgot about that.
[edit]: huh. A lot of product lines affected. Is there anything that wasn't affected? Oh, btw, budget is $1000-$1200. Lower is more preferable. Last edited by Force Flow; 07-19-2008 at 03:51 PM. |
