While I suspect you can still hook up a yoke, peddles, .......a laptop on the move will be, most likely, keyboard flight controlled - which takes away around 90% of ..........................you know what!!!! I'm bored. Just get a good computer. Chris Farrell

Um, I have8GB @7200RPi7 2.2Ghz1.5GB Graphics.I don't remember everything off the top of my head. Yeah, i thought the screen would be to small (considering i have a 22" desktop) but i was pleseantly surprised at how good everything looks. I am really really happy witht he performance and screen size! Save a a few hundred $$ and get the 14X!!! You wont be disappointed!

August 26, 201114 yr I have an Alienware desktop and it runs it 30fps locked without any issues. I'm very pleased with my Alienware. Used to build my own machines but with my eyesight going bad due to age and patience also going it was just easier to buy a preassembled computer.
