Laptops

[starseerdrgn]

So... That Windows laptop I mentioned previously? Screen was destroyed. As a result, I have a laptop from eBay ordered.

Dell Latitude E1505.

Core Duo (can be upgraded to a Socket M Core2Duo), 2GB of DDR2-SDRAM (I can bring it up to a max of 4GB), Intel IGP... Not exactly the most capable system in the network, but it'll do what I need it to: playing videos and music, text editing, word processing, LaTeX (maybe), reading ePUB and PDF files, old games... Nothing too major. I'll throw Windows Vista onto it once I get my 1TB drive out of the MacBook, and maybe the 4GB of memory from it as well.

Applications I'm wanting to install:

- Office 2007
- Calibre
- Evince
- Pidgin
- IceChat 9
- New Moon (Pale Moon browser fork)
- Notepad3
- Gargoyle (Interactive Fiction player)
- Inform 7 (Interactive Fiction engine)
- Quest (Interactive Fiction player and engine)
- PuTTY
- WinSCP
- KeePassXC
- VLC
- WinAmp
- Quicktime

Games I'm thinking of installing:

- Age of Empires II Classic
- Age of Empires III + Expansions
- Turok
- Turok II: Seeds of Evil
- Megaman X4
- Final Fantasy VII PC (If it'll work)
- Final Fantasy VIII PC (If it'll work)
- Star Trek: The Next Generation - Birth of the Federation
- Minecraft
- DOOM Classic Trilogy
- Wolfenstein 3D + Spear of Destiny
- Croc: Legend of the Gobbos
- Croc 2
- Moto Racer

Might also look into getting a couple of emulators going for old games as well, like DOSBox and VBA. Definitely looking forward to having something I can relax with again (that won't lose several hours of work because of sleep issues).
