Got me one o them thar 'lap tops'
I've been wanting a laptop system since... well, since the idea of gaming on a Laptop meant having a 486 with a CD-ROM allowed you to play Command and Conquer. Their relative lack of upgradability (and high sticker price) made me hesitate for oh - about a decade.

Tonight, my new(ish) machine arrived - a Dell Inspiron 6000 with ATI x300 128meg video. And a DVD-ROM. It's not really a gaming machine (as krufty as my desktop is, it's still a more powerful gaming box), but it'll hopefully allow me to do development and show game demos on the road. That'll be kinda cool.

Now I just got to put together enough of a playable game for it to be usable as a demo on that little box!

Newish? Did you buy it refurbished?
 
Yup, it was a refurb from Dell. Worth all of about a $50 discount, but we had a time constraint.

It can play Battlefield: Vietnam okay, so we're good :)
