I bought a new Vista laptop today - it's kind of cute but it's taking a while to customise it as I want it. It's one of these...

It's very small and has a 12.1" screen so it's nice and portable. New laptop!!!! 833371

It's getting better - I had to disable the Aero interface as it kept freezing at random intervals. Since I did that it hasn't really been a problem. I can live without the pretty translucent windows and the 3D tabbing (although that was kind of cool).

i am thinking of buying a new laptop myself since my old is messed up.
£150 thats ($300) for a new screen is too much when i can buy a brand new up to date(ish) one for £399.
not looking for anything fancy just somthing with a Nvidia Gforce 6 low 7 model. Smile

My new Towercase has Nvida G-Force, so long as you use maximum settings the graphics are brilliant, I like digital photography and watching DVDs and there is no slowing on the DVDs so I can recommend G Force 8.

Damn right! My laptop is freezing every time I start up Sims 2 Life Stories because it will just NEVER have enough memory - ever.

Laptops tend to be optimised for battery life more than performance, they could all do with an extra Gig of memory, which eats up the battery.
In terms of Vista, I would wait for service pack one to come out. Sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear.

Mmmm... gassy German goodness...

Anyhoo, I'm going to uninstall Life Stories from the laptop as I have it on my desktop PC now.

No mobile Simming for me. Sad

It's very similar to the Sims 2 base game. I posted about this in more detail in the Share Your Stories Things section, but it has two predetermined stories to play (which I ignore) and a Free Play mode, which is just basically TS2. Not bad, though. Rolling Eyes

I upgraded my RAM today to 2 gigs. It's made everything much quicker, but I've come to the conclusion that it's a surfin' and workin' machine - no Simmin' allowed. Sad
