Sparrow Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 CPU: Intel Core2 Duo P9300 @ 800MHzGPU: Intel built in one.RAM: 4GBIts an old (Ancient?) Dell Latitude E4300 that I got for ~$200. I run Slackware on it, and I have to thank the devs for providing a SlackBuild. In this day and age just a basic Linux version of something is an ask, let alone a SlackBuild.Thanks devs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palaxin Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) Sony Vaio Pro 13 Ultrabook Intel i5-4200U, 1.6/2.6 GHz (base/turbo), 15W 2x2GB DDR3 RAM, 1600 MHz integrated Intel HD 4400 128 GB SSD directly on mainboard via PCIe (6s booting record!); external 1TB HDD 13.3'' Full-HD touch display battery: officially 8h, >10h possible when idle weight: a bit more than 1.0 kg (carbon) costs: 700€ Would have cost 1000€ at least, but I got it cheaper since it was an exhibit. Super light, long battery and boots in no time (probably faster than sleep mode on my old notebook, lol). It's just the best thing for university and I have to grin when various people drag their laptops including power adaptors and looking for some socket (I was one of them once....). Had some hardware/driver problems at first though, but has become quite reliable now. Is not really suited for gaming, but handles all my old RTS games with ease (if I get them running on win10)... Of course 0 A.D. is a different story but I think with multicore support there is much possible. Edited February 9, 2016 by Palaxin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Falcão Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) Intel i5 2310, 2.9 GHz8 GB DDR3With a monitor of 21" I sometimes think I should get a nice gfx card, but didn't bother to buy one yet.Can't play anything fancy (like Witcher 3, Fallout 4 or Anno 2205), but I don't have a high budget anyways and hardware in my country is pretty expensive.Still can manage to play Skyrim in 1600x900, though, and some older games, like League of Legends, Farcry 3 and Anno 2070 are playable in 1920x1080. By "playable" I mean 20+ fps in the heaviest parts (I agree it's not smooth at all, but it's still playable, it's what matters).This cutey is ancient, but it's been my friend for 5 years now...

Oh no... I didn't know that. I think it might be time to begin using Steam these days... Especially the new expansions for AoE2 and AoM have brought these good old games back. Though I have to admit that playing itself is annoys me more and more and I actually prefer making mods and thinking about balancing, strategies etc. So playing is more testing.

Does she have the black one, too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
