Well, I'm a bit tired over my current computer, and it's slowness. It's a 3-4 year old Compaq Mini (10.1") laptop, with no disc-drive, so I'm on the lookout for a new computer.
Behold His... slowlyness .
I've often wanted to play the more demanding games (especially Euro Truck Simulator (2?)), but this could only just run Counter Strike 1.6 and A.O.E II (both via download). The only thing I like about it, is it's compact size, and that it runs Windows XP (SP3, I think). If I remember right, it's got 1.00 GHz, and "Intel Atom inside" (what is that ?). To be honest, I know nothing about computers and what I should get of "inside items". I do know, that I want it to be fast to startup, able to play games (ETS 2 ) and be in a reasonable price range. I've been looking on Dell's GPX, but it's way to pricey. I then went onto SONY. They've also got these 10000 DKK+ (~$1743+) computers, but then I found this:
SONY VAIO E-series 15 (SVE1513C5E)
Price is fine - also with some upgrades! I'm not sure what I need for ETS 2, and similar games, but I would chose this:
By choosing the best (with the 320 GB harddisk), it's just under my ABSOLUTE maximum limit of 6000 DKK (~$1046 USD). But, if I can save anything, and still run the games, I'll do that !
Now, as the ending comment, I would like to ask for recommendations inside my price range, "pro tips" and etc. I'm not in a rush, really, as I won't get a new computer before the old one "dies out". And, as I don't have space for a desktop, I'll need a laptop. I would, by the way, like it to have a HDMI-output as well, so I can plug it into my TV. Battery should be 4 hours+.
I hope you clever guys can help me, a bit :tup:.
Edit: I would be interested in running Simraceway, too . Though, I think ETS2 is more demanding than Simraceway...

- Intel® CoreTM i5-3230M, 2,6GHz (they've also got Intel® CoreTM i7-3632QM, 2,2GHz - which I'm going for.)
- Windows 8 (only one available )
- AMD Radeon(TM) HD 7650M 2GB (best they've got for this model)
- 39,5cm (15.5") LED 1366 x 768 + webcam (nothing to choose from)
- 320 GB Serial ATA (5400 rpm) (goes up to a 750 GB)
- 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3L-SDRAM (also the best for this model)
- Blu-ray Disc(TM)-player (it's free so... )
