Hello, as a servicemember I spend quite a time in the field and on any down time it would be great to fire up a laptop and get a few turns in on my favorite M2TW mod Europa Barbarorum 2. I guess first off the recommended specs for Kingdoms are from 2007, and here we are 10 years later and have phones as powerful if not more than computers back then. Second, you can't even find the types of laptops with those CPUs they recommended anymore. I heard M2TW was made for fast single core CPUs so multicore CPUs doesn't do anything. Second, unless modifying certain things, the game can't utilize more than 1GB RAM, but it doesn't mention whether speed of that RAM will affect performance i.e. like the fastest DDR4 RAM available now. Now game enjoyability and portability don't necessarily go hand in hand. You can have a 10" Windows laptop but in a normal laptop gaming position with it on your lap, its hard to make out any detail unless you lower resolution, which creates constant scrolling around. What's an ideal size? Sometimes a 15" almost seems too big both in weight and dimensions. Ultrabooks with no physical CD drives or hard disc drives are finally getting 15" laptops to a manageable weight but you pay a premium for that. What about game compatibility with newer OS'? Seems any new laptop you can buy has Windows 8.1 or 10 already installed and heard it can be frustrating to install Windows 7 on them. Battery life is not as important as most times I will be using it plugged in to something, and battery life drops drastically when using graphics anyways however if there is a good value laptop with excellent battery life that would be cool.
