Ok guys Im tired of feeling jealous because I play on Xbox and cant get mods. So I'm thinking of buying a computer. I'm looking for a laptop and all I'll do with it is play morrowind. Great right? But I don't know anything about computers. I found one called the Dell inspiron 2200. [url=www1.us.dell.com/content/products/compare.aspx/notebooks?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&~ck=mn]Here[/url] is the link. Will this be compatible with morrowind? Do you guys have any suggestions? Im looking for a laptop under $700

I don't know very much about laptops. But, my desktop is a Dell. I've had it around four years and it has been great!
It's very stable, and still does everything I need it to. (with a few upgrades) Of course, that will change once Oblivian comes out...

You might actually want to post this question in the tech forum though. I suspect that most of us playing on PC are using desktops.

I have a Dell laptop and I have played Morrowind on it. The only problem I have is that the screen is an LCD which makes things awful hard to see especially in the dark dungeons. I suggest playing on a desktop.

You want 1 GB RAM, and at least a 2 gHz CPU. The machine you chose doesn't meet those standards, though I suspect you could upgrade it for extra cash.

I have an LCD screen for my desktop, and IMO it makes the graphics in Morrowind that much more amazing...
Plus it is *much* easier on the eyes IMO

To compensate for the light, you can do several things:
*adjust the brightness on your monitor
*adjust the light settings on your game options screen
*make yourself a ring with CE Nighteye. I have one that provides 20 points Nighteye (and underwater breathing), which I use in dungeons, while diving etc. It lights everything up beautifully.
