NOT SURE WHERE TO PUT THIS
I would like to get back into X I started years ago with XBFT and left when Albion first came out.
So with out getting a $$$ computer what would I need for a computer?
Did Albion come out better than it was when it first came out?

as long as the laptop meets the requirements then it should work.
it'll largely depend on the GPU in the laptop

Would I be better off with a laptop or desk top?
And why?

See this quite old thread for examples from 10 years back. I'm sure that gaming laptops have progressed a lot since.

Of course if you later wanted to move on to more demanding and modern games such as X4 then you would need to look more closely.

Games such as X4 is what I am looking at.
I like games that I can buy sell and fight. I played the x games sense X: Beyond the Frontier . But when Albion Prelude the computer I had wouldn't play it and some moving out of Tn. and a few other things just didn't get back to the X4 games. Now I would like to get back into them.
I like the portability of a laptop but not sure I can afford one that will work and a desk top is upgrade-able {not sure of the price of them} and is the X4 worth the cost of a new computer?

OK, now that you have clarified that, you probably need to start looking in some of the English Off Topic forum hardware threads such as this one.

Since your query is not really about the question in the thread title any more, I'll lock it here.
