I need help! As the general office 'knows a thing or two about computers' type dogsbody I've been asked to source a laptop for my bosses daughter (it's her birthday in two weeks). They want cheap and chearful, the only requirement I was given is that it must be able to play Sims 2 and be capable of wireless networking.
I'm thinking Sims 2 will need a little more than onboard graphics. Can I get away with 256Mb?
Any ideas?
Give us the budget m8. A few grand can still be cheap for somebody. Any constraint on look or weight at all, as girls tend to like light and funny looking lappy lol
This one ?

battery life is nothing near impressive but i guess that would do.
This one is more decent and i thinks it looks good

Primary kit:
Fuji S5 Pro - Nikkor AF 50/1.8 - Nikkor AF 85/1.8
Epson RD-1
Film Kit:
Leica M3 - Summicron 50/2 DR - Zeiss ZM 25/2.8 - M-Rokkor 40/2
Olympus OM2n - Zuiko 50/2 Macro - Zuiko 50/1.4 - Zuiko 35/2.8
I asked about budget but they gave a wooley 'what do you think?' answer. I guess they'll probably stretch to 500 quid or thereabouts. I think they'l balk at a grand Hans Voralberg!

This is the kind of thing I'm looking for but I'm not much good when it comes to laptops

I fyou can stretch to 700 qiud the gf has one of http://www.acer.co.uk/acereuro/page4...crc=1513287385 which is pretty impressive. V good battery life. Would prob play sims 2 with the options off. You kind of need to explain to them that good graphics != cheap laptop
Cheers, but I'd rather stuck somewhere nearer the budget. I guess a celery would make it cheaper. The pain is finding a cheap lappy with a gfx card attached.
EDIT
Just found this one. Any good?

Well to be honest CeM run horribly slow, my friend got a Packard Bell on the same chip and i nearly throw it outta window cause it's just too slow (he asked me to install some software lol). But that Fujitsu looks impressive for its price tag nonetheless
Primary kit:
Fuji S5 Pro - Nikkor AF 50/1.8 - Nikkor AF 85/1.8

Film Kit:

Olympus OM2n - Zuiko 50/2 Macro - Zuiko 50/1.4 - Zuiko 35/2.8
Well it's not like I get paid to do thisI'll show them this one and tell them to run the game on low res. They're pretty computer illiterate anyhow (as in turning on a computer by pressing the monitor power button...Doh!)
Update! They've gone for the Acer Travelmate 4100, Cheers guys
