I'm considering getting a laptop/notebook pretty soon, but I've had experiences with computers that wouldn't run Stepmania very well, if at all. I was wondering if anyone could give me any suggestions as to what laptop computer(s) can run Stepmania CVS well, and Windows is a must. I appreciate any help offered. biggrin.gif

Well, make sure your laptop has a video card rather than using intergrated graphics, use a good end processor, a decent ammount of ram, and just mess with your settings in stepmania

My laptop runs Stepmania quite nicely. Its fun taking it into the TV lounge with the big screen HDTV and playing on it.

Quick Stats-
Athalon 2200
512 RAM (448 usable)
ATI Radeon mobility graphics- this card uses system RAM, which you can allocate how much it uses. I have it set to the max of 64mb
30gb (though I'd recommend more)
S-Video out

So pretty much I'd gaurentee that a laptop with these or higher stats would suit you just fine.
