Laptop 15 or 17 inch
Will be buying a laptop off craigslist for p99. There are loads of cheap laptops, but I was curious if anyone has suggestions on 15 vs 17 inch? Also, is windows 10 a nightmare? I've been using windows 7 for the past 6 years and am still happy with it.
I'm going to retire playing on my desktop so I can just play in bed. That way I don't have to get up. I can aspire to be the fat vampire guy that gets roasted by Wesley Snipes in BLADE. |
I've used Windows 10 on two systems. First one didn't run P99 for some reason, would get kicked to the login screen after a resolution change. After much digging on the forums I couldn't find the answer and nobody else seemed to know what was causing it.
Second one was fine... lol. Before that I ran it on a win8.1 netbook and it ran fine except for raids (very slow fps, but go figure, its a netbook) Before that it was on a Windows 7 PC, and I never had any issues. If you can install windows 7 and know what's going on, then do that <3 |

I wouldn’t worry so much about the screen size but how well the keyboard works. An extra 2” isn’t gonna make you a baller, if you are spending FB/CL Money.

I had a 17 for a long time. I started to find it too bulky to be mobile and was pretty heavy to carry around. I went to a 15 inch and it's a noticeable positive change.

One thing about laptop screens vs PC monitors... screenshot quality. I took some great screenshots on my adventures on PC. The UI was all over the screen on the netbook (under 15 inches for sure).

I'm only 8 inches long

You spelled centimeters wrong.

I'd say 17" inch, but no bigger. My current laptop is a 19" and I regret it. It was same price as the 17" at the time so I thought, why not? Too big to take anywhere so it just sits at home and functions as a shitty desktop.
Also, depending on how old it is, you may want to think about 32bit vs 64bit windows versions. I had a laptop that ran smoothly on 32bit windows. Had a free upgrade to a 64bit pro version, installed and performance tanked. I currently use windows 10 and have no problem with p99. |
