HELP PLEASE - I Have a Problem

DTWBANDIT

   Please don't move this til Monday as i really need a solution so i can go and buy a new lappy on Tuesday which is conpatable with SKY POKER. THANK YOU

    I mainly play cash most days tho for the last 10 days i can only play 2 tables even then i'm experiencing lagging & frozen tables every day & every hand which is very annoying plus i lose pots when frozen out.

  Other people seem to be able to play more than 2 tables with no problem so maybe its time to get a new Lappy tho i used to be able to play 4 tables with no problems not so long ago, anyway

  This is where i need some help as i know NOTHING about computer specs.

   HELP PLEASE

have seen a lappy - - 6GB RAM / 2.8khz windows 7 not sure of hard drive space wot would i need also would 4-6 tables on sky poker run comfortably with this lappy with no lagging & freezing tables every hand.

    Any help from the sky poker community would be very helpful.

I don't know much about Laptops but I'm pretty sure any NEW laptop will be able to run 4-6 tables comfortably. If in doubt just go down to a currys/PC world or any computer shop and ask them for advice on it. Don't necessarily have to buy the laptop from there, just get an idea for what you want!

Any half decent lappy should be good enough to cope but if you are still using a dongle that probably causes more problems. Not the most reliable method of connecting.

Best advice I could give is try it out in the shop. When I bought mine (2nd hand one in a shop) I told him exactly what I wanted for, logged into sky poker opened up 6 tables of cash and played them for 15 minutes lol

I think ram is the most important factor for them though and 6gb ram sounds plenty. Think mines 4gb and runs 6-8 no problem. I have no idea about computers so don't take that as gospel by any stretch.

Big screen is better for squeezing more tables in too obviously.

I only have a 4 year old bottom of the range Dell Inspiron laptop and can play 2 tables with hardly any problems.
jdsallstar gives good advice above about trying out the laptop in the shop to play multi tables before you buy it to see if it suits your needs, i had never thought about that before tbh but it does make good sense,

Get the cheapest laptop if its only for skypoker. For comparison I can play 9 tables at full speed on here with:

2.3ghz processor

3GB Ram

bog standard integrated intel graphics card

Upgrading your broadband...i use sky unlimited (not fibre optic), or closing the lobby if playing on the browser will prob help performance problems. Some of the scripts in the browser lobby cause my tables to lag, but its fine through the download (apart from the times when its sky pokers fault!).
