Get anything but a Sony Viao because they're not built for gaming. I bought this laptop (not for FS9 though) and found that it has a really bad graphics card. However the rest of the features are excellent so I only use my laptop for school work, and my desktop for FS9.

Hi Anthony, I used to have a NEC Versa S1000 which was 3 years old and had 1,3GHz CPU + 64Mb ATI graphic card and got about 15 FPS with aerosoft heathrow 2008 which was quite good.

And now I just bought the Dell inspiron 1520 for 650 pounds , it is 2GHz, Duo core , 256 Mb nvidia graphic and gives constant 30+ FPS which is excellent.

i think the most important thing is to look for laptop with a graphic card but not those with on-board graphics or shared graphic memory. any machine with graphic card of more than 128Mb will be good enough for fs9 in general.
