    What will you be running that needs 6gb?

    And a notebook for that performance level? You would save a lot by having a gaming pc and a separate lower end notebook that is still capable of playing the games

    Do you actually use any 64bit applications?

    I just got a dell studio 16 XPS and its bloody amazing, under £800. To be honest gaming laptops are really desktop replacments. Even my XPS it too heavy to carry around.

    Thumbs up Re: new laptop need

    Hi,

    The majority what you hear is hype - the core DUO machines are really use-full in two real world scenarios - if you are a gamer or you’re into digital production. Like graphic design / video editing.


    Good luck.
