Re: Laptop purchase advice
i was going to upgrade my pc... but now am looking for a simular spec laptop
the best i found was the 1530 XPS

i randomly serached you tube and found recording of people displaying games runniing on them!
if you find better let me know!
i'd do for the 15" - the 17" is a desktop replacment really to big!
Re: Laptop purchase advice
check the vostro section instead, far more for your money
Compare All UK Dell Vostro Deals and E-Value Codes | dmXdimension
1310 is a 13"
1500 is a 15"
both worth a look, the 1500 can be had with a 256mb 8600GT, 3GB of RAM, 2.4GHz C2D and a 250GB HDD for £560 :)
Re: Laptop purchase advice
doesn't dx10 only run on vista?...
Re: Laptop purchase advice
buy one with a little ram as possible & upgrade it yourself (check how many available slots there are first) usually saves you a few quid + you can sell the old stuff!

Good tip there.thx
Re: Laptop purchase advice
But then with dell, the higher the spec you start out with, the more you save.
For your needs the vostro 1500 sounds perfect.
2.4GHz C2D - so lots of grunt
256MB 8600GT (DX10) - works very well on all most all modern games.
250GB Hard drive - mror than meets your needs
3GB of RAM is plenty enough
Can be specced with XP (although as has been said, that negates the need for DX10 unless you are just biding your time)
and its black mag alloy which looks very nice indeed and feels very well built.
The only down point is its about £60 over budget but worth every penny.

I might consider vostro 1500 then.I am more than happy with the specs.And its good value for money.
