Basic Gaming Laptop for <£600
Well, the budget is £600, but it can be stretched a tiny bit if the perfect laptop is £639 or something.
My brother wants it for gaming, in particular games like oblivion. No doubt he'll want to play the upcoming starcraft game as well.
I really don't know so much about gaming laptops however, told him it was a funny market because most laptops were personal use and not designed for gaming, so the ones that were charged a premium. But I do remember reading an article on an external graphics card, and he sounded really keen on that. At the moment he plays WoW more than anything, and dabbles in other things. Has a GeForce6600 that I bought him after he bought something akin to an fx5200.
He doesn't do benchmarking though, just said he wants it to run at native resolution with possibly 2x aa on or something.
