Laptop Suggestions - Eschatos - 05-13-2009
My dad needs a new laptop, and with my computer being broken I have very little time to research good options. He needs a laptop with a decently sized screen capable of running Civilization 4 well(that's really the only game he plays). Budget is $1000, but less would be good.

Civ4 and nothing else? Pick up any cheapass C2D machine that has a "real" video card in it (no integrated, you want dedicated video memory, and no uber budget cards). Basically anything with an 9600M should be in a good price range.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115539 Is the first one I ran across. FPS are generally the only thing that make you need to spend more on a laptop, because of the high GPU demand.

Same price, better brand, nice vidya card and the other specs aren't shabby either. Does he know how much battery life he needs or what screen size?

Also note, that 1300 res is a gimped ass resolution, and just looks plain weird. I wasn't looking when I threw that link up, just giving an example, but you might want to try finding something with a real 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ratio.
