Laptop Advice

[danturn]

can anyone suggest a laptop for around £700 that would be fairly decent for gaming?

i'm looking ideally for:
core 2 duo
1gb Ram
DVD writer

and a decent dedicated gpu

any suggestions?

Wow thanks for that find, have you had any experience with them?
Are they a trusted company?

Thanks for this, my friend was gonna buy a Dell laptop for alot more, with basically the same specs.

Not had personal experience but i am going to buy one.. they have a forum...i have a link on my home pc so will post that tonight.

PcPro have reviews for them and they are very good.

older spec but it gives you an Idea.

One thing I heard is if you offered a slot loading dvd writer...dont have it as its not very good..

For the price i bet the screen sucks... But as i dont have one i cant say much

There will always be advantages to buying dells due to the onsite warranty you can get...apparently there a few revisions of the 6214w that overheat under heavy loads i'm sure those sort of problems are getting ironed out over time.

But with any laptop I would use a laptop cooler because they all got hot after intesive use.

the matte one does apparently but the gloss is supposed to be quite good.

i didnt see an option for a gloss or matte screen!

is there one?

I believe they scrapped the matte screen becuase it sucked.

Just gloss now.
