A friend of mine is in the market for a laptop with gaming capabilities so I've been doing some research for him. Although he has been looking for about a month, I think that holding off for the x2 (or even memron) would be the best...

Looked at this thread yesterday and was drawing blanks. It just hit me - Worms! Armageddon/World Party/whatever. It also has a lot of LAN potential just for sheer hilarity.

A friend of mine is also getting a laptop soon and wants some gaming ability. He doesn't plan on buying a new one for several years, so I'm going to give you the advice I am going to give him: Wait until August if you can. With Vista...

HL2 Deathmatch for sure...all the fun of blowing up your friends with the added bonus of projectile toilets. Another vote for Starcraft HL2 Gary's Mod is fun (you can still dl the latest free version, right?), I'd do that around the...
