Hoping to make use of the forums superior knowledge. My laptop is on its last legs (acer aspire 5735) running windows vista (has been a brilliant lappy)so i need to get a new one. Will be using it for... gaming (football manager and total war ) internetting (blonde ,facebook,you tube) films (downloading and viewing) Have managed to scrape together £200 and could probably get hold of another £150 so budget is £350 ish Any suggestions gratefully received. Thank you. Title: Re: Help an old boy out please.

Mate just got one of those for much the same stuff as yourself, and I've just bought one after he gave it the once over. One of the techminded guys might be able to let you now if it's any good for what you want. Title: Re: Help an old boy out please.

Very similar to machine marky posted you wouldn't notice the difference in the processing speed for what your using it for Title: Re: Help an old boy out please.

I've always had 17" Laptops, but my old man has a 15" Dell, and it seems plenty big enough. Title: Re: Help an old boy out please.

Good suggestions from Marky and Ironside - at a slightly lower price this (http://www.ebuyer.com/703414-dell-vostro-3546-laptop-3546-8444) is another option. |
