FSX on a laptop?

Featured Replies

Hi everyone.Simple question:Is there a laptop available that will run FSX acceptably?I was looking at the latest Dell XPS and Alienware laptop systems and I'm not convinced they are up to the job...Should I just soldier on with FS9 until there is a laptop available with Vista and a DX10 graphics card?Cheers.

There was an exceptional discussion on this topic, in this forum I believe or the general discussion forum, about two weeks ago. A gamer insider showed some escellent screen shots and explained laptop models and tweaking. His knowledge and clear explanations were extremely well presented. The performance was far beyond anything I or others would expect, from the tone of the thread. It shouldn't be hard to find.

My notebook, which is the Dell XPS' little brother, runs FSX about 25% quicker than my desktop. Interestingly, I tried the final FSX version at the AVSIM conference on the Dell XPS2 notebooks they had there and it was quite noticably jerkier and slower than my 9300 FSX beta 3 experience, so I'm not sure what was going on there.There are a few with powerful notebooks who lurk these forums. Just wait until FSX is released and seek their comments on its performance.Gary
