    Re: FFR Laptop Recommendations

    Dell Latitude D630, been using it since August of last year for playing FFR/SM. The thing I like most about the laptop is its keys. It's a flat kb and not the chiclet kb you find on a lot of laptops these days, makes for a more natural feeling. Since you mention keys and key placements being one of the top priorities, chiclet kbs are not your friend. These laptops were top of the line back when they were released in 2007, so they still hold up pretty decently. Nothing amazing, but they get the job done, which is just to play FFR/SM lol

    Yeah and none of that screen wobble and whatnot, it can stay stable on most surfaces. I tend to play with my left wrist rested on the laptop for better control, and it doesnt slide or anything if I decide to play a harder/longer song.

    I also have the newer model Toshiba Satellite, that I use for school and everything else really. I refuse to use that to play FFR tho, mainly cos of the kb and I feel like it won't take the pounding like the Dell and I can't be taking any risks on that. Maybe once I get an external kb I can play on this one, cos it runs FFR/SM like a champ

        I was banned during this so I won't say too much but I would definitely recommend getting a computer with a SSD if you plan on using the laptop keyboard.

        If you plan on getting a USB keyboard, hard drive doesn't matter.

          Of course, I think the HDD is on the left of the computer while my numpad is on the right, so that may be why.
          I've had a laptop for two months and I can't play on it because the HDD freezes every time I start smashing arrows. Depends on the laptop I guess.
