hi par

I have a lenovo flex 2 with windows 8 and Ubuntu, but you don't need an expensive laptop to play poker

here you have the requirements to play with the pokerstars software (from pokerstars . net):

Minimum system configuration (Yes, we tested it. Not too fast, but still playable):
100 MHz Pentium (800 Mhz for Windows Vista)
64 MB RAM (Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME) or
96 MB RAM (Windows NT 4 , Windows 2000, Windows XP) or
512 MB RAM (Windows Vista)
800x600 screen resolution with 16-bit color depth (High Color)
20MB of free disk space for download
56k dialup Internet connection

Recommended system configuration:
333 MHz or faster CPU (800 MHz for Windows Vista)
128 MB of RAM or more (256 MB or more for best performance)
512 MB of RAM minimum on Windows Vista (1 GB or more for best performance)
800x600 or 1024x768 screen resolution with 16-bit color depth (High Color)
60MB of free disk space for poker download installation
128kbps or faster DSL or Cable Internet connection

Compaq Presario CQ62.
Its getting old but still runs extremely well.

I attached an extra screen for multi-tabling on different sites at the same time.

No laptop I use a desktop and when I travel I take a Zotac Desktop Computer Atom X5-Z8350 which is a PC-Stick that I can plug into a tv or monitor with hdmi connection but I take an adapter so I can pug into d-sub as well. Mini wireless keyboard and mouse all fit in small outside pocket of my carry on size bag.

You can use any.

I use a Lenovo Thinkpad T420

Intel Core i7 processor i7-2620M with dual-core
DDR3 memory controller (up to 1333MHz), Intel Turbo Boost, Hyper-Threading technology; 4MB cache

I have 4GB Ram but it supports up to 8GB maximum memory.

Win10 and soon I will be upgrading to a SSD hard drive.

thetick33 · Jul 17, 2016

dell win 10 now forget the brand bought it 2014

i also use a computer tv monitor so over 20 inches with it make easier on eyes and fell once and cracked screen need to repair but like having on another viewing if had laptop always working right would only play in bed lol and think play better when sitting etc..

fordman427 · Jul 17, 2016

A newer dell with Windows 7

Thanks for the replys guys, I am looking at getting a new laptop and just wanted to know what players use, I have one that's in ok working condition, I will likely wait until Boxing day to get one.

MalliThess · Jul 17, 2016

i use an ASUS with SSD, just can reccomend it, starts really fast and is truely noiseless, perfect for a student's life (and for studying and playing poker at the same time i use an additional screen via USB that also is an ASUS)

dundo84 · Jul 17, 2016

Toshiba satellite( win 7 ) plugged to my lcd tv via hdmi cable.Im typing with my mouse lol ( virtual keyboard ).I think laptop manufacturers should make more robust laptops for poker players, you know the bad beat stories.

I'd love to watch you once playing online poker hehehe

Serhii Lytviak · Jul 17, 2016

i think laptop is't realy problem for this game. You must win as many as possible)

bizarez · Jul 18, 2016

I use a desktop i7HQ RAM32G with SSD and 27" monitor. Laptop ASuS i7 when at the ride

starting_at_the_bottom · Jul 18, 2016

17inch screen with 1600x900 resolution.

Rest doesnt matter imo. Poker doesnt taake up much memory.

DjKniteX · Jul 18, 2016

I would think specs probably won't have to do too much for a poker client but I do have a windows tablet hp stream 7 I believe that I have not tested out yet but hoping to see if I can run some of my poker clients on it

SyCo · Jul 20, 2016

I use my Desktop PC regulary, only sometimes my Lenovo T60 Laptop.
Poker really dont need much memory or cpu. At max 500 MB Ram.
A 1,5 Gigabyte RAM and a 1.8 Ghz CPU should be well enough to play without lagging even while the loading phases.
You can use every new laptop, most netbooks (with windows running)
or a good linux laptop and pokerstars client in wine emulation software, if you dont want windows.

You can use the most old laptops too, my T60 is dated on 2007/2008 production year and it runs it very well!

ScottieDuncan · Jul 20, 2016

2015 Dell with 17" screen

MikeTheEngr · Jul 21, 2016

MacBook Air and a 27" monitor.

asauceda1 · Jul 22, 2016

I use a cheap dell vostro desktop now but I used to use a dell inspirion n5040 laptop but it broke on me

tbh anything that was i2 or better and 4 gb of ram will do well.

franbx3 · Jul 22, 2016

VIT P2400 Wins 7 !

Delenia · Jul 22, 2016

I have a 17" Dell. I want a large screen for multiple tables.

Dutchtegon · Jul 22, 2016

Using a acer labtop from the school year of highschool. Still working very well, but sometimes the keyboard gets very hot. Dont get what the problem is because it is not the fan inside
