Laptop

Laptops are great for SimCity 4, especially the newer ones. An unfortunate side effect is is that they are hard to fix and almost impossible to upgrade. Also, you should be careful since many laptops usually have less-than-adequate graphics cards.

By the way, welcome back The Milkman! I haven't seen you posting here in ages.

I bought a TOSHIBA SATELLITE M70 Celeron M 1.6 Ghz about a month ago [512 MB RAM (Expandable up to 2 GB), 128 MB ATI RADEON Graphics Card(Shared, Usually Keep Frame Buffer On 64 MB)] and i run SC4 on high all the time and it runs smoothly with no problems.  I would highly reccomend to anyone.  I plan on buying another 512 MB RAM within 6 months.

Of course current high end Laptop's are great for running SC4, specially like T-Dot Boy's laptop with an 128 mb graphics card, but for example my laptop is much more older I have a p4 1.6ghz, 512 ram, graphics 16mb this is a shame!!!! My game runs very slowly in high so a have my settings some ¡n medium, also big cities are imposible to play

I have a notebook with AMD Athlon 3800+(2.4 ghz), a gig of ram, a x200 w/ 128 of its own memory, and I run everthing at high with no problems too. The only problem is she can get a tad bit hot when its sitting on the lap. And yes, I can upgrade the ram to 2 gigs, and the cpu might be upgradeable to one of those dual core ones. And, this processor is an equivalent to a 3.8 ghz Pentium 4 in terms of performance

For about two weeks now I've been playing on a Compaq Presario V5000 (2Ghz Turion64 / 1Gb RAM / 128Mb ATI Radeon) and the AMD chip doesn't get that hot at all. In fact, the fan only comes on occasionally to cool it if I'm doing a lot of stuff at once.

Whoah. A 2.4GHz processor running at an equivalent to a 3.8GHz Intel Pentium 4? That's amazing.

I do. Works fine. Bit slow sometimes though.
