What do you need it for (gaming/work/msn/etc...)?

"I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end... "

Very, very happy with my MSI don't know what they have at £600 though, although when I bought it it was stuck on a 59hz refresh rate (no BF - so thank god I bought it from a local shop who perm fixed it, if I chose to buy from the internet cheaper I would have been in trouble).

Apart from that no problems with alt tab, or lag/crashes.

Mine is GX720

And quick Birdie we're missing you in NATO 4th!

If you want to do games, you should get a desktop PC.


The only reason you should get a laptop is if your job / school requires it, in my experience they seem to be harder to repair if something goes wrong and upgrading is much harder than on a desktop.

I can gladly give you some tech advice if you want to get a desktop PC.

I got the dell 1720 with 8800GTS card for £399 over a year ago. Not sure what they come with now though.

You would be better off with a Desktop in anycase, yeah they take up more space but in the long run there more worth it, im sure you can get a decent system from PC world that will happily run PR and maybe better at a resonable price, if not maybe consider saving the money and building a system for your self when you have a little more money
