Hey!! Im buying a new laptop and im having trouble with choice!! Im looking at £500-650 tops.
So for anyone who knows about laptop, got any ideas?

(ps. It MUST be a laptop!! No deskops )

cheers guys

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

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!

Btw, its for gaming!! I should of added!

Anyone know much about the dell inspiron 1720? I could get that and buy a decent card.

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

REALPLAY OUT!

It must be a laptop because i do a lot of portable gaming.

Any idea how hard it us to change the card in the 1720?
