    £400 Laptop

    Well, as the title says im looking for a laptop around £400..but can go more

    Needs to run CSS (Counter Strike Source) Flawless!
    Movies, Music
    TV Connection (Optional but wanted)

    Operating System: Any

    Well i also would like it to look stylish .. but is not needed

    So far i have looked at: http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/st...&Submit=GO+%3E (a little overprice)
    And http://www.ebuyer.com/product/164692

    If possible a pick up in store would be suitable.. but doesn't really matter

    Thanks, Luke

    TV connection as in HDMI or VGA.. S video? I'm going to guess at HDMI.

    The 8200 will not run CSS flawlessly, my 8400gs can however which is about as low as I would go.

    If you look down this list
    http://www.dmxdimension.com/dell-uk/...codes-coupons/

    You will see a £399 with the Hd4330, not great but it's ok.

    if you have the extra.

    Search eBay for the 6930G, you should be able to get one for around 400'ish

    the 6930G seems a solid choice to me, Acer is a good make as well and when it comes to laptops id rather pay for the premium knowing the components inside arent going to melt.

    The 6930G is a epic laptop, but there are 2 versions one with a 9600GT GB and the other with a ATI card thats not as powerful

    I shouldnt say this, and i might get a ban hammer. But there is a Dell XPS 15 for sale for under 400 in For Sale section. So if you can get 69 posts soon you can probably get it. No spam please
