John Cierpial 1008209 Posted November 17, 2011 at 11:57 AM Posted November 17, 2011 at 11:57 AM Ok guys, Christmas time is coming soon and I'm planning to give myself the gift of a new laptop to finally fly FSX! I know, PCs are better but due to other reasons, I need to get a laptop (Mac or Windows I don't care). Ideally, I would want to spend around $1000 for it. Any tips, hints, do's, don'ts, specific manufacturers to go to/avoid, anything really would be great! For example, will a 2.2GHz quadcore i7 with 8GB RAM and a 1GB NVIDIA card run FSX just fine? I plan to fly addon plane's with ActiveSky and REX so I'm trying to get the biggest bang for my buck. Thanks in advance!

Charan Kumar Posted November 17, 2011 at 08:00 PM Posted November 17, 2011 at 08:00 PM Make sure you get a good cooling pad or atleast have a good airflow going below, you should also be able to do better than your config for $1000, if you can wait around for the Black Friday, Cyber Monday or Uber cool Wednesdays (ok I made the last one up) to come around.
