| I want to purchase a laptop this summer that can do a good job running FSX. Anyone have any suggestions? I think either alienware or dell has the best gaming laptops. I built the best custom alienware laptop and ran a total of $5,300. That said, I still like fs2004, there are several options on fs2004 that I really like, in particular I like the eyemovement adjustments much better on fs2004. When I get close to my approach and landing, I like to move the eye movement up 1 or 2 notches, depending on my approach pitch, so I get a good visual of the runway. I did not like the eye movements in fsX, and found the only way I can make good approaches is to keep my pitch at a minimum (less than 5 degrees). That's about the only complaint I have on fsX though. I really like the graphics, but my current hardware is stressed to the max, and really has a hard time with keeping up a good framerate. This summer I'll also be upgrading my flightstick to a nice CH product, and I'm thinking about getting the BUTT KICKER, which really makes your flights realistic!

| I'll stay away from the laptop spec - sounds like you've already figured it's gonna be a fairly stiff price to run FSX on one. Regarding the Buttkicker - my own thoughts are in my modest contribution to the literature on the subject at: http://fsflyingschool.wordpress.com/2007/02/16/buttkicker/
