The laptop I have is very serviceable. I got it on clearance from ToshibaDirect, I think mostly because it has this hideous copper cover. However, I really liked that it still had XP and resolution up to 2048 x 1536 though I use it at 1680 x 1050. It 4 tables without overlap and runs great, plays World of Warcraft just fine too. It can’t play new generation games though.

This week I purchased Age of Conan, the MMRPG. It’s huge, taking up fully 1/3 of my 100 Gig hard drive. My system met the minumum specs, but the game really isn’t playable. The graphics lag and stutter far too much. Now normally this wouldn’ t be a problem as I’d just forget the game, but some friends are playing it and so that increases the fun factor. I also had to give Bioshock a miss because it had bad problems with this particular graphics card.

But this Conan game… you don’t understand. I mean, I was never into the Conan mythos. But the game has boobies and gore, boobies and gore! See what I mean?

And they go flip-flop and everything.

How can I resist?

Looking through the laptops on the market it seems like I’m going to have to shell out about $4800k with tax to get something that will last for a few years without being obsolete. Icky, imo.

So, hey I’ll do what any good degen would… baller up the poker roll. Either a brilliant plan or really, really stupid.

I’ve been playing only a minumum amount of hands this month. I’ll swtich do more grinding and see where I can get in June and July. I’ll put $2000 of the gains into my roll and take the rest and see what kind of machine I can get and chart my progess here in teh blog.

Here’s the chart for this month so far, 9 days in and $1743.20 plus rakeback so I’m off to a good start. Hopefully I won’t screw up and I’ll be watching boobies bounce before I know it.
