Default good laptop for p99

I know p99 is old a hell and doesn't take much 2 run it but anyone have some recommendations for a good gaming laptop for around 300-400( would spend 500 if its worth it but trying to keep it under 400)

all I need it for is
-porn
-p99
-movies & music
-counter strike
and prob a few other games but mostly I play older games

NewEgg.com is where I check first for good hardware for decent prices. I found this within 30 seconds and would run everything you mentioned. $369.99

I'd be sure to save some budget for a nice external monitor (and maybe a gaming mouse?). You'd have more trouble finding a new laptop that won't play p99 comfortably.

This thread is only a couple months old and has some great info:

Personally I bought an MSI GT70 2PC(Dominator)-892 US) and I'm still loving it, but it's probably a bit more than you want to spend.

I play p99 on a toaster. Anything will run it, really.

There is some part of me which wonders if a Raspberry Pi will run EQ...

If we are talking about bare minimum here, running it on a $35 PC via your TV would be an interesting test. The original version (not even the quad-core 900MHz Pi 2) was about equivalent to a Pentium II from the late 1990s, with the graphics power of a GeForce from the same era.

I doubt you'd be running it at full 1080p HD with Luclin models, but even with the extra overhead from WINE, I think you might get it running.
