Hi Peggy! I believe you are a fellow Forum Cartel member.. ty for the info, but got thrown a curveball of such, i forgot they use different power source int he UK so I think im gonna have to get her one in the UK.. she needs the laptop because of her school so she has to be portible. not sure what i should look for exactly for her.. I mean I can go up to about 750US for one. I just want her to be able to run it ok. you know? dont have to be high settings or anything just be able to get around and enjoy SL instead of crashing or nothing rezzing all the time. the laptop she has is about toast i believe and it was NEVER designed to log onto SL its crazy bad laptop.. so if anyone has any ideas on one in the UK let me know..
