A netbook? I was thinking of something with processing power in the 3 Ghz. area.

« on: February 06, 2012, 11:46:14 pm »I don't need to have a dual or quad core. I just need a laptop that plays DF really well that is about a thousand bucks. Single core is A-OK.if i can still find a single-core for a thousand bucks ill eat my shoe, for now, look for any intel in the i5s, i7s section, shit the i3s can run the game fine. And i doubt you spend more than 600 bucks depending what you want.
I was expecting something more complex for some reason.

Yeah, wouldn't that only work with the effectiveness of one computer due to the lack of multithreading

I mean a computer on which you can play Dwarf Fortress.
I consider myself moderately computer-inclined. Enough to be able to maneuver around a computer properly and keep it functioning relatively well. However, I'm not all that great at understanding anything involved with hardware. My computer that I'm on right now is on its way out, and I need to get a replacement.
And I play a lot of Dwarf Fortress. It would be really awesome if someone could give me some tips on what to be looking for. What I want is a laptop that can play Dwarf Fortress at the best possible level for its price.
I need something below or very near to $1000. I'm probably going to end up sticking some sort of Linux on it because from what I understand, DF runs better on Linux-based OSes. As well, it has to be a laptop because in the near future I'm probably going to be doing a lot of travelling.
I know there's another thread on the best possible DF computer but I have specific needs and would really appreciate some advice on this subject. Also I'm a new guy but I've been playing DF for years now. Hi!
Bottom Line: I need advice on how to create the best possible Dwarf Fort laptop under 1000 dollars.
