Eve Online Gaming

Can you tell me all about Eve Online?
I'm a total noob to any sort of online gaming, so keep this in mind when you tell me: What is it, what do you do there, what is required for your computer to have it, is it a good game, yada yada. Anything you can tell me would be great. Thanks!
I'm a long-time EVE-Online player myself (nearly 5 years now), and personally I love the wide variety of choices you have in that game, I love that they add new stuff to do on a regular basis (twice a year), and last but not least I love that they let you trade in-game money for game time (and only for game time, "cashing out" is forbidden).
Any other online game has only managed to capture my attention for 2-3 months tops, but EVE online is still interesting after all those years.
Oh, and by the way - the average age of the EVE player is somewhere around 30 years... I've had in-game friends aged 12 to 70, but most were in the 25-35 age range.
Note that it's a cutthroat, hyper-capitalistic game with minimal rules, so just about everybody is a potential competitor, and most are potential enemies, so trying to get into a group of people as soon as possible (for mutual benefit, both in-game assistance and to learn the tricks of the game) is highly recommended. Of course, nobody can guarantee the guys you join are reliable or knowledgeable, so it's always a risk. You could try to avoid trouble, but you're NEVER completely safe, even in the safest regions of space. Simply carrying too much valuable cargo in your ship (even in the most secure area of the game) can be considered as good as an invitation to be shot at.
The only place where you are completely safe from attack is docked inside a station, but most of the fun happens in space. There are ways to have fun without ever undocking, but it's not something everybody would enjoy.
All losses are permanent, but you can always choose what you undock in, so you can always choose how much of your stuff you want to risk at any time.
If you never played any online games... that can be either very good (if you don't mind reading a lot of guides and other such materials) or it can be very bad (the fact that so many alternatives exist can be overwhelming for most new players, they can't focus on anything in particular and end up doing a little bit of everything but in a wrong way because they "didn't bother to do the research").
If you want to read up on some details, you can try starting with the official "new player" subforum:
http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=channel&channelID=3509
That should give you some idea of what's there to expect. Read the stickies, follow the links, etc.
Or, try the official wiki new player resource page
http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/New_Citizens_Useful_threads
As for hardware requirements... if you purchased your PC in the past 3 years or so, chances are EVE will run just fine on your machine. A Pentium Dual Core at 2 GHz, 1+ GB of RAM, with a GeForce 8500 should be able to run the game in 1280x960 at maximum graphic detail settings with at least 30 FPS even in relatively crowded areas. Even older machines can easily handle the game fluidly at the lowest graphic settings.
It's a long-winded answer, sure... but it barely even scratches the surface.
If you're afraid of reading, you should probably steer clear of EVE

EVE Online - Game Masters
Whats the cheapest gaming laptop i can buy for eve online?
I'm looking for a cheap gaming laptop. I know there's probably not one cause I've searched for them. But what's the cheapest one I can buy for eve online. It only needs to last for about a year. Thanks =]
Actually, you are in luck. Up until 3 weeks ago a half way decent laptop for gaming would set you back at least $800, but AMD just released their new processor line based on the Llano platform. They are called the A series processor. Like the Intel Sandy Bridge core i series, they have the ability to change their clock speed to match whatever task you are performing and they have integrated graphics built right into the cpu, but unlike the core i series, the A series has much superior graphics capabilities. It can run most of even the highest demanding games to at least their medium graphic settings all without a graphics card. You can't do that with the Intel chips. Here are a few models to take a look at:
