Hi, i'm looking at getting another laptop however i'm not sure to get one now or wait untill the January sales.

I was looking at a Sony VAIO but i have heard that these give quite alot of probs.

I need a laptop that can do all general day to day stuff but also play games(3D).

Anyone just bought a new laptop that has a up to date graphics card which will function for these requirements.

Anyone also advise on spec?

    Does it have to be a laptop?

    You'll get much more for your money if you buy a desktop, especially if you want to use it for gaming.
