Hi Guys,

just wanted some advice on a new laptop, I dont want to spend more than £350 but it will need to be good on battery life, not too heavy nice sized screen and be able to run games and graphics programmes. I know it's probably what everyone wants from a laptop lol but I was looking for some ideas so I know in which direction to go in. Since Custom Pc is not up and running anymore I dont know what is top of the pops at the moment.

Cheers

Kal

£350 won't get you a gaming laptop. You'd need to double that at least.

Crap :(

Well how about one that will at least play games like Prototype and sims 3 on high res, Im not looking for something to play the new GTA on high perf. Just basic run of the game would be fine as I have a desktop pc and that plays everything fine at the moment.

This laptop on our own site is OK if you've got a copy of windows somewhere

DOH... I only found that yesterday and it was on pre-order! strange maybe after my post everybody went out and brought one lol

Edit - Personally I'd look at the Acerdirect web site, normally cheaper due to their mid-range quality but can offer good specs.
