I just got a laptop for my birthday purchased from ebay and it is a
IBM ThinkPad T23 Series


--
now
the only thing i have concerns with is the graphics card because I know to play a lot of computer games out there i need somewhat of a decent graphics card. It comes with a 16 mb graphics card(i am pretty sure).

do any of you know if i would be able to upgrade this?

(yeah i know its not a real top-grade laptop, ill list some specs though just so you know what I'm working with here.)


just look below and tell me if you think id be able to pop in some blizzard games and play away (warcraft III, D2(LOD - ofcourse), starcraft.. things like that) or if i would have to probably find and purchase an upgrade for it first.

Honestly you really don't have any hopes of playing games on there. Upgrading the videocard wouldn't even be worth it, even if its possible (that model isnt supported anymore)

Starcraft and DII are probably all it can handle

Should have gotten a desktop. Then you could have easily upgraded in the future.

Wow dude i hope they didnt pay more than $200 for that shit.

Should have gone with latitude d600 for like $300, i ahd one of those and it had a radeon 9000 mobility and it played half life 2 just fine @ low settings, i sold it and now have a inspiron e1705/9400 w/ a geforce 7800 on it ^^
