How about gaming cards? They anygood for that stuff

[FSGameDevBlog]

@PlayerzMafia Our NVidia's are pretty decent. I haven't really looked too much into the newer laptop models. You can search up HP Elitebook 8760w for more info on it. To me it looks ugly, but eh.

@PlayerzMafia You'll be getting a newer model.. we have Nvidia chips in ours.. but they started switching to ATI. You get a quad core I believe, built in webcam and some other stuff.

@FSGameDevBlog how do you like the teachers?

[FSGameDevBlog]

@webDes33 The teachers are good. Most know their stuff. A lot of them are dry with the lectures, some are hard to understand, but a lot of them are really relaxed. You should come down for one of the behind the scenes tours they have. Some of the instructors are usually there for you to talk to. If you go on a tour during school days (Mon - Sat, Sundays for some), you can get to talk to the students and see what we do to get a better idea of the school.

Only Game Dev gets an HP laptop, all other programs get a Macbook Pro.

Also, sorry for not keeping up with this page, just very busy will all the coding and all.

Yeah you can bring your own laptop and opt out of getting the school's laptop.

Once you fully pay off the laptop, it is 100% yours.

Technically, you can do it on a Mac, but it's a ridiculous hassle to get it working properly and the industry works with Windows, so get used to it.

This is the model from '09, newer students get the 8740w, not sure when they will change the model again.

My laptop cost $2100, and it's NOT part of the tuition, its an institutional fee.
