Hai

Just wondering what spec netbooks or laptops you play GOG's on

Im selling my gaming laptop to get another one in the future as you cant do hourly sessions on it because the heat will ramp up. I dont game on it a lot and partly because of the heat it gives, I tend to web browse a lot on it though especially when i have my PS3 on.

I'm using a slightly modified Lifebook S7210 with 4gb ram and 320gb HDD instead of the 1Gb RAM and 75gb HDD it had, and also Win7 instead of Vista.
The only problem this machine has so far is the fact that it has an Intel 965GMA as a graphics card, but not many games on GOG complain about it (damn you UFO trilogy).

hey i use an acer aspire one netbook that has 1 gb of ram its not powerful but it pretty much plays everything on here {alot of the older stuff such as fallout, arx fatalis, outcast etc}the only downside i have had with this is it does get pretty hot to but they sell a holder that lifts it up so it vents better if ya get that it runs very cool with no problems

I have a Thinkpad x120e with 4gb of RAM and a Zacate e-350 dual core processor at 1.6ghz and it plays all the games I've thrown at it from GOG.

For the most part, if it's got at least a 1.5ghz single core processor and a gig of RAM you shouldn't have too much trouble playing GOGs on it.

Extremely loud and overheating HP compaq 6820s with 1.80 GHZ Dual Core processor, ATi Radeon x1350 (chipset) and 3 GB of ram.

It's piece of junk, but I don't have money to buy a new one.

To play most games on GOG you don't need high end pc. BUT I would rather not buy Spellforce 2 without AT LEAST 256 MB Video card (512 mb would be better).

Also, some DOSBox games might have low fps, but it's not your PC, it's dosbox (if you try some tricks with configuration, you will probably fix it)

using a dell laptop 2gb ram , ati mobility x1400 , 1.8ghz core 2 duo ... switched to the ps3 to play the current games

I have an Asus G51VX A1 with 2.0Ghz core 2 duo, 4 gb ram, GTX 260m. If you can still find one they are crazy cheap, $400-450 range and do not give off a ridiculous amount of heat. Can't recommend them enough.

I have the same pretty much, Mines the G51VX RX 05 and the 260M has gone up to 99C while playing metro lawl :P but in other games stays at the high 80's most the time and the fan is pretty loud, Overall it is a great laptop i know, But as technology advances im just gonna get a decent laptop for some games i have in mind with possibly a 5650M then most likely get a alienware next year as they have backlit keyboards and there will prolly be a new line of mobile chips by then too

Yeesh, mines never gotten that high. It runs hot don't get me wrong but I've never seen it get past 80C, sound slike you might have a heat sink not seated well or something. Regardless if you have the patience and the money you're better off waiting, there are some remarkable advances with mobile chips on the way that save a lot on battery power while still delivering good graphics. Never had good luck with Alienware but I have a friend that swears by them so they can't be all that bad. Good luck in your search, it never ceases to amaze me how cheap a lot of the technology is getting these days!

I use an Alienware M11x (R1). For the most part it works extremely well for GoGing, long battery life for dosbox games and newer Windows games that play nice with Intel GMA. There are a couple GoG games that refuse to play nice in Windows 7 (Dungeon Keeper 2, Commandos 3), I believe due them being confused by the dual video card setup in the machine. But those work fine in Linux if I want to play them.

I like the M11x but im not paying £850 for one to my specification, when i can get a M14x or some 15" laptop that is overall better, Yeah battery wont be as good but anything 3 hours plus does me.

Most of my gaming, GoG or not, has been on an old IBM ThinkPad T40 with WinXP, I think it is about 6-8 years old laptop. It can barely run e.g. Half-life 2 with less quality and somewhat jerky graphics, but for e.g. DOSBox games, Win9x era 3D games, 95% of MAME games, WinUAE etc. it seems to be plenty fast.

My "new" laptop is two years old Lenovo T400 with Win7 64bit. I haven't tried gaming on it yet, apparently it runs at least HL2 with full details very smoothly, so at least it is a stepup from T40. :)

What I really like with IBM/Lenovo laptops is the great keyboard, also they are quite quiet, especially the T400 which seems almost totally silent (but like said, I haven't tried heavy gaming on it yet) The casual laptops I've tried on stores have awful bending chiclet-like keyboards, I can fully understand why people don't want to play games with them. :( Too bad these Lenovos cost premium price.

I've been thinking of buying this MSI gaming laptop below, but I don't know whether they have the heat problems you mention. What do you mean the heat "ramps up"? The machine does not function well anymore due to overheating, or what?

By the heat ramping up i mean it will instantly get hot and be like that for quite a while, the laptop fan will most likely kick in every 2 minutes and it will get pretty annoying

I play on a Samsung R580-Harris and am quite happy with it. It runs everything that isn't too new and hardware-hungry, but as i play mostly older games from GOG or GamersGate sales, it's fine for me. :)

I use an Asus Eee PC 1015-PEM with 2GB RAM. I bought it in March because a friend said that it's good for all the old games we used to play, and he was right: so far it's been fine with everything I've thrown at it.

It's great to play the Baldur's Gate series again, this time on a very portable and convenient machine. Maybe this time I'll finish it.

At first I resisted GOG because I already have most of the games I wanted to play in CD/DVD form (and many of them are still unopened). But the convenience of DRM-free downloads wore me down, and now I have too many games on my virtual shelf.
