XP
Nice sound card with audio out and in.
to be less than 1500ish on ebay.

haha, good luck finding a sub 1500$ laptop that will run halo well. try finding one with ATi's radeon mobility chip.
edit: heres a no name one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=42201, it doesn't come with an OS and the speed sounds a little misleading "up to 3.06GHz". it has the radeon mobility 9000 though, just keep in mind that a laptop like this and most others have cheap screens so when playing games you will get a lot of ghosting.

ya..you're definitely DEFINITELY looking at $2.5k minimum...just go desktop...laptops are lame.

my friends dad just got a laptop from dell, it has a super hi res screen, atleaest 2ghz proccessor, 512 ram and a fairly large hard drive for 1400

beefstew "needs" a laptop for school.... not college, high school.... it "has to be" a laptop. Good luck on your search, Fruity.

dell graphics blow...

its hard to get a laptop to get good graphics and all that cause of almost no airflow or room for decent size fans.

My sister got one thats really light, thin(dell) and has a pentium M processor, very, very quick. Its faster then our desktop and was 2,000$. We got a discount through my dads company though..

if it was 1400$ from dell then i doubt the screen is that great. it might have a good max resolution, but i doubt the contrast ratio or responce time is very good. to get an lcd screen that is good for gaming you have to spend like 700+ alone.
