I know p99 is old a hell and doesn't take much 2 run it but anyone have some recommendations for a good gaming laptop for around 300-400( would spend 500 if its worth it but trying to keep it under 400)
all I need it for is
-porn
-p99
-movies & music
-counter strike
and prob a few other games but mostly I play older games

NewEgg.com is where I check first for good hardware for decent prices. I found this within 30 seconds and would run everything you mentioned. $369.99

I'd be sure to save some budget for a nice external monitor (and maybe a gaming mouse?). You'd have more trouble finding a new laptop that won't play p99 comfortably.

This thread is only a couple months old and has some great info:

Personally I bought an MSI GT70 2PC(Dominator)-892 US) and I'm still loving it, but it's probably a bit more than you want to spend.
Anything made after the year 2000.
1.6 though?

I play p99 on a toaster. Anything will run it, really.

There is some part of me which wonders if a Raspberry Pi will run EQ...
If we are talking about bare minimum here, running it on a $35 PC via your TV would be an interesting test. The original version (not even the quad-core 900MHz Pi 2) was about equivalent to a Pentium II from the late 1990s, with the graphics power of a GeForce from the same era.
I doubt you'd be running it at full 1080p HD with Luclin models, but even with the extra overhead from WINE, I think you might get it running.

Well, if you're going to use it for any video you'll probably want to at least be able to run some 360/480p :p
But got a laptop thats probably worth <150 at this point: 4gb ram dual core win8 integrated graphics runs titanium client fine, even with shadows when not in the tunnel heh. Might have some issues with video and cs though on this setup these days. Does not cost much at all to get eq running on something
