bread_of_heaven

Hi, want to go out and get my son new laptop today, approx up to £700, approx. 15 inch scrren with the crystalbrite, wireless and webcam. This is all i know he def will require, the rest confuses me!!

Please can anyone advise to which is best pentium etc. He likes to play the sims and rollercoater tycoon type games, so would need graphics that are suitable for that.

I have tried looking on tesco.com are they are offering double points at moment, but don't really understand the gb's, rams and greaphics. Anyone recommend one from there or anywhere else. Thanks in advance:j

Hi, this looks great but have read on other links that dell are a pain because if something goes wrong it' shard and expensive to put right?

the screens are very bright and clear with these laptops.

also if he is only 10 you prob better off getting a basic model one as the things he will be using it for he wont need a higher spec. alot of basic models have wireless, webcam and decent screen, my gf's was 300 quid and has all that too
