Some of my favorite that I feel play well on the iphone: Optia - laser redirection puzzler, my favorite puzzle game so far. Drop7 - tetris-style number game that you play at your own pace (no frantically increasing speed as you level up) Stranded Without A Phone - survival; use items you...

That's what I do with my work laptop. When she uses hers though, it's generally in the living room with it on her lap, so I doubt I could get her to use a separate monitor. I even have a monitor that size not being used right now :/ Oh well. I'll hunt for the cheapest 17" I can find, since...

Looks like good deals, but they are missing her only must-have, a 17" screen.

Definitely not paying for an extended service plan. I was a finance major in college and my old profs would kill me for doing such a thing :P The cost to insure such an item, whether through a special computer coverage endorsement on your insurance policy, or self-insuring by assuming the risk...

Yeah, I found a couple Dells at the outlet site that might work.

Yeah, that's starting to be a problem. She's not settling for less than 17", but it pains me to pay so much for a machine that is going to be used as a web browser, document creator, and photo storage.

Some decent stuff there if I can get her to buy online...

Is it really that good? I played through the Beta demo a few times and wasn't incredibly impressed. Maybe I just don't like the dungeon crawler genre.

Don't tell her I'm saying this, but my wife can be easily misled into thinking some brand names are better than they are. I caught her saying she really wanted an HP. When I asked her why, she says "I just do - my old HP was good". After some pressing, she thought an ASUS might be ok (my...

What types of games are you looking for? When it comes to handheld portable games I prefer puzzles, but I could let you know what I like from just about any genre. I'm not sure I'll remember which were free though.

I'm gonna set a $500 limit for now, but as cheap as possible would be great :)

I know a lot of you like to come up with laptop builds, so here's the scenario (if you're willing): We're getting my wife a new laptop, and looking for the cheapest possible option that will still run well. She is NOT a gamer, the things she will be using it for will be simple things like...

They didn't take me long. They weren't the hardest puzzles I've ever encountered, but they were a decent challenge. I have a mind for those sort of things though. The only time I had to stop and think of what to do was on 'Nothing But Net', and that was because I didn't know there was a door...

Lots of those sound good, but I'm counting the days until December 14th.

It's an interesting premise, but the movement and combat I felt were seriously lacking. Several other factors also combined to make me just not enjoy my experience at all :/

Did them both :) My only suggestion is that at the end of "Nothing But Net", you may want to remove the parts where you have to jump over acid. Portal's never been about jumping gaps, and it seemed out of place to have that as a requirement after you've solved the puzzle.

Subbing now. Will this automatically record for you, or should I be taking notes?

Yeah, I won't specify because of the NDA, but I think anyone else who played will probably know some of the reasons for my opinion. From the forums, it seems a lot of people are liking it, so that's good. It just didn't meet my expectations at all :/

Tried it today. To put it nicely, it took me much longer to install it than it did for me to play it, and not like it :( Oh well.

I felt exactly the same way until I hit 50 :P
