Ok I'm starting University (we just call it Uni) half way through September, which means moving 150 km away from home, right into the middle of Glasgow (huge city). So I'm hoping to keep playing th3 to some degree there, but it could be a little weird on a laptop, does anyone here use one?
One thing I don't have a clue about is the size of the thing, the standard seems to be 15.6" screens, but the keyboard layout is a bit weird, if I got a 17" screen then the layout is a bit more normal (and would mean that I wouldn't have to re-learn controls). Watching films would be better on a bigger, higher def screen, but 17" is fucking huge , so moving it about the place could be interesting. I have a laptop case but I don't think it fits 17" laptops .
Right now I'm thinking either of these 3, I'm going completely Dell, because every one I've sampled seems pretty flawless (apart from the fact they all had Vista , I'm gonna get XP/Windows 7)
