    Laptop q

    My parents want a basic, cheap laptop for internet, word etc, nothing overly complicated there. However, my brother would occasionally like to play pretty basic games, so my question is, is there any such thing as a budget lappy with a non-integrated graphics card capable of playing not overly system taxing games?

    This comes with a dual core processor, 2gb of ram and and 8600gt good for any game which will be released anytime soon.

    Re: Laptop q

    Can you give an example of what these 'basic' games are likely to be?

    Very good looking lappy, thanks a lot, but don't you need to be a small business to get it?

    And Lanky, tbh not really, last game he was playing was warcraft 2 on an old 95 box he found in a cupboard

    Nope you can buy anything you can find on the dell site. You're just quoted exVAT until you finalise the laptop and pay.

    I would recommend buying over the phone though so you can haggle.
