Where To Look For Laptops?

[Azreil_2]

Well, after buying and building my current gaming rig... I've decided that it just isn't needed!! and I'm going to be switching to a laptop.

Found someone to take the system off my hands for £750.. Roughly £120 down from what i paid in September. =/

Antec P192

Q6600

Asus Blitz Formula SE

EVGA 8800GTS 320MB

2GB Cellshock PC2-6400

Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 500GB

Cosair HX 620W

and Selling my 22" Samsung SyncMaster 226BW to my brother for £100 lol

Just need a study laptop for watching movies, and internet access... and depending on price a good enough graphics card to play Counter Strike Source. Maximum price is really £700. So any help on which retailers etc to look at apart from Dell, would be good

Found This at dell for £664.50:

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T7250 (2.00 GHz, 2 MB L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB)

Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium - English

Dell are normally good, sometimes you can get discount if you phone them aswell

Also http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/

I've bought a few Acer's from them for business use and they've often been really cheap.

Probably a bit too late but I have had 3 laptops during my 4 years of being interested in computers. My first one was an IBM thinkpad and it worked great but the specs were poor, it had no extra features at all and nor does any IBM laptops as from what I can see. I then got a Toshiba satelite pro (my dads now) and it ran great but the only thing I wanted it for was for HD movies... And guess what, it never had a HDMI output , so my dad has had to buy one just to watch on his big LCD tv lol. I then purchased a Samsung R70 and this laptop by far is the best, apart from a few little features I was used to it gives something more.

Read some reviews about it www.google.co.uk, I got it not for gaming but for movie watching and just college work. I ended up installing COD4, ETQW, and oblivion on them and they work fine . this is a SS of COD4 on MP.

So from my experience a Samsung would be the best bet, they don't big up themselves as much as other companies, but sure as hell put up a great fight.

I paid £760 I think it was .
