Poker Laptop

What would be a good option for a laptop that I will use mostly just to play poker on pokerstars and maybe listen to music on?

Well, I use a simple, cheap Acer TravelMate. 160G HD, 1G ram, and a 1.9ghz processor and it works more than fine. I use it primarily for poker on FullTIlt (no slowdown up to 7 tables + music + browsing), listening to music and blogging. It's basic, but it's cheap and does everything I need. Got it for about $300.

Can't you just use a phone? I know ppl who play exclusively through a 3rd party poker app on their iphones.. that'll do the music too.

I've got a cheap Compaq from Walmart that works just fine. Have 6-tabled rush poker on it with music and browsers open and it works JUST fine. Only $375!

Why would anybody want to play on their phone for real money?

As for poker laptop, almost any decent cheap laptop will do. Depending on the sites you play might want a larger screen. On my 15.4" laptop I can't tile 4 Merge tables without overlapping them since the Merge software doesn't let you shrink a full table small enough and the mini view and tiled views suck (1280x800, just a higher resolution would help).

Any laptop would do.
The trick is to get one with a big screen, and high resolution *if* you plan on playing several tables at once.

Most laptops have weak video resolution, so you can't fit as much on the screen.

If you are not going to multitable more than 4 tables, might I suggest a Netbook?
I use one and the coolest thing is that I can get up and go make coffee without missing a hand.
