As indicated by the thread name, I am trying to get a laptop.
I have some very basic needs for it, mostly word processing, decent battery life, wireless access(not necessarily integrated) and I want to be able to run snes emulators on it with decent speed
I've been in the desktop game for a while, but I really don't know much of anything about laptops. About the wireless access thing, I know there is a card you can get for this, but what is the name of the slot it goes into, just to make sure I get one that has it?
Also, I do know that most things on the laptops are integrated, but I would love to get one that has the option of upgrading the video card, especially, and maybe even the processor eventually. I know on desktops AMD is good about sticking to a universal socket, but what about laptop MBs? But I also heard that AMD's mobile procs are subject to heat problems; is this true? I've seen a couple of laptops with AMDs in them that looked decent.
Any suggestions, possibly from owners of something like this?
