hello sky community, i just wondered if anyone could give some advice on what to look for when i buy a new laptop in the next few days. I'm only interested in browsing the internet and playing online poker. I  want to be able to play at least 4 tables at a time which at the moment is not possible due to my very old pc.  Any advice would be great. THANKS

    Loads of offers atm in all the big stores, i'd stick to laptop and not be tempted with a cheaper netbook if your multi tabling due to the small screen

    You will get a nice one between £300-400.... Try not to go less than 4GB Ram

    Lots of things contribute towards making your game run "faster".
    The "quality" of your laptop (i.e. RAM and processor), your internet connection, other software/malware on your laptop, the browser you are using, the versions of software and other programs that you have running at the same time all contribute.

    I'm sure that must be a smutty remark - I just can't figure it out. :-)
    I'm certainly going to keep on trying, though.

    Most new laptops should easily be able to handle multi-tabling.  Consider going for one with a large screen that can display a high resolution.  This should enable you to display more tables on screen at the same time.

    Go for Windows 7 over Vista (I'd be suprised if you find a laptop on sale that does not at least have the option of a free upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista).

    Set yourself a limit then shop around for a model with the fastest processor and most memory.

    Good UK company based in Bradford that has some fairly competitive prices and their customer services are top notch: www.cclonline.com

    Also their phone lines are charged at local rate so makes life easier. You can also email them at sales@cclonline.com and they will get back to you with suggestions and links and all things beneficial.

    ( I used to work for them and can recommend them as being top notch )

    Good luck.
