|  Notebook comp 5 Box ready I'm in the market for a decent notebook to box on. Going to have to pass up the desktop option because my company offered to pick up most of the tab for it. And I'm extremely cheap. Don't care about weight or battery life since the only traveling it'll do is back and forth from work. Bonus points if it can broadcast decently as well. Hd quality isn't needed cause the upload can't handle it. Also, is the hype about solid state drives worth it? Been a while since I've went comp shopping. |

| Re: Notebook comp 5 Box ready I dont really know much when it comes to laptops. All I can say is go for a performance model and forgo energy-efficiency (screw the planet!). Get the best processor with as much RAM as you can jam into it. As for SSDs, they're coming along, but it seems they arent as stable as id like. Go ahead and get it, but dont store anything that would be disastrous in the event of a drive failure. Also, make su you get a GPU with a dedicated ram bank. Then you should be able to handle anything. |

| Re: Notebook comp 5 Box ready i think the biggest issue with using a laptop is the video card and the memory. those are the things which as `standard` are not that good. hence i would say you are gonna be spending some moulah on one... |

| Re: Notebook comp 5 Box ready You can 5box on laptops for sure, but you are going to pay a huge dime for it. I had an Alienware laptop that could 5box, and it had 1xSSD, 1xraptor HD, and dual Nvidia 7950gtx. Yes, SLI in a laptop. Crazy I know. It ran 5x WoWs very smoothly. Only problem is that it cost about $5100. That and the battery lasted only about 32 minutes. Getting a hard core laptop that can handle 5x WoWs is going to require quite an investment. I really don't know what to say here since I'm a fan of smaller laptops. I've since ditched the Alienware laptop (well, it is connected to my TV now to watch Hulu.com) and now use a Asus N10J netbook as my laptop of choice. |

Maybe you should get a Shuttle cube PC and a flatscreen monitor? That would allow you to take your PC around with you a lot easier lol  | |
