Ok my mate is looking to spend £600 on a lappy! She needs it mainly for work, but said it would be nice if she could run a bit of Call of Duty and Counterstrike Source off it for when we have a gaming session. Can someone gimme a link to a nice lappy suited to this task as I know nothing about laptops and the different proccesors. Cheers for any help guys muchos appreciated!
For HL2 and COD2 I'd say you want at least an X600, but finding a laptop with discrete graphics for under £600 can be challenging. See if you can find an Acer 1690 series (1692WLMi, 1694WLMi). They feature the older Dothan Pentium M so should be dropping in price, and have an X700 which should cope fairly well.
Sounds fairly bargainous, is that with 64MB or 128MB of VRAM? Does make a fair difference, but the 64 will still cope well with most games
Yer that will run it at around 30/25FPS, not the dest proformance and it will drain the poor battery on that Acer yet is it a simple and portable laptop but not neccesarily a gaming laptop that is. Hope it helps
How about one of these . It seems to powered fairly decently and has all the other gubbins anyone could want.
Friend went with a dell in the end. Good buy, they did her a deal with 1gb of RAM, 7800GT and 80gb HD. Aint too bad.
Inspiron B130 1.8GHz 1GB 40GB 14.1" $449 Inspiron E1505 1.66GHz 512MB/40GB 15.4" $649 Inspiron XPS M140 1.73GHz 512MB 60GB $599 that are what I had checked rencently, which model is fit?
