I have an Alienware laptop-- fast, works Poser ok, but screen is too small and refreshes strangely-- in columns. Would not recommend. I've run Poser very well on a Sony laptop and a Dell. Sony monitors are often either toolight or too dark compared to others-- this seems almost endemic to Sony, look for contrast ratios to compare late screens. Mainly for Poser, you need enough memory RAM and enough scratchspace. Those are the crucials, along with a large enough screen. Poser does not utilise a graphics card. Emily
