Another one of these questions BUT Basically I have £500 or so to spend on a laptop, whats the best one to get? Ideally I want good battery life and dedicated graphics able to play games. Im not expecting crysis up full but would like it to be capable enough to play some games. Im asking on here because I havent researched laptops in a long time so dont really know whats going on in the market lately. Thanks for your help Mark
If you can stump up an extra £3.03 then the Acer Aspire 5750G looks like a good bet. It has a SandyB i3 and a NVIDIA GT540M for your gaming needs. If you want to check out its GPU i have provided a link to a Crysis 2 video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6ecl1v91F8
A GT540M surpasses the top of the range notebook Llano (6620g). GT540M 6620g I am interested to see what price point Llano will come in at though. Under £500 and it will be a winner, I reckon.
Hi all, Im not to sure what the conversion is between CAD and Euros but I picked up a msi gx660 a few Months ago for a grand total of 1100 CAD. It's not SB but I'm sure you could get it for a decent price (if they're even available there Idn) It runs everything I throw at it on its native res (1366x768) with the 5870. Will throw up a link when I have better reception (currently in the middle of nowhere 5000 miles from home) hope that's somewhat useful.
Was too expensive senortasty. Im still looking guys lol it seems dell have cheaper prices for their xps 17inch models compared to the 15 inch ones
Take a look at Dell outlet as they sometimes have some great offers on XPS15 & XPS 17 models. Also take a look on www.dmxdimension.com as you might find some great dell bargins (the website essentialy links you directly to the dell configurator with unique offers).
Yea ive been keeping an eye on the dmxdimension site. thats where i seen that you got better specs for the 17inch models at cheaper prices than the 15inch models I preferably want a 15 inch one so have been holding out hopeing something jumps up

What do you think?
No - iirc it had an i3 SB, less ram and standard battery. What you have found there is a steal and tbh if you don't buy it quick someone else'll have it very quickly.
Nevermind. Got to payment page, put all details in and then all of a sudden they kick me out saying ive been threw out due to inavtivity (funny as i wasnt inactive and was ordering). . . now its gone. Go dell!! So thats them now in my hate list, will look elsewhere.
