Laptop for HL2 & Hammer 4 for HL1! Created 19 years ago2004-12-09 06:24:13 UTC by LlamaRama

Hi all,

My desktop PC is too slow for HL2, but I will be getting a laptop soon, and I was wondering what sort of screen I had to get to keep up with frame rate (though I'm guessing any laptops with Radeons/Geforces will have a fast screen!). Anyone know?

Also, I was wondering: is it possible to run Hammer 4 without Steam?

Thanks.

it might pay to connect your laptop up to your old CTR monitor. Some LCD screen are not about to preform as well as their CTR brothers.

I was hoping a TFT or a SWGA/SXGA (whatever those are) would do the job.

I have the Sager 5690 notebook with a 15" UXGA screen and I play HL 2 & World of Warcraft on it and it rocks!!
Also using Hammer on it to learn and create a HL2 deathmatch map.
Works great for me, with no problems at all..

Here is a review on the notebook
