i know theres a sticky guide, but i need to write my specific requiremens here.
currently i own a netbook asus 1000h, but im after something that can play a few games.
stuff like cod4, cs:s, red alert 3 maybe? just stuff at that level.
so i need one with an ok graphics card, would the ati radeon 3200 be good enough for this? or how about a radeon mobility 3xxx?
ive seen a few laptops about the hp 6735s at ebuyer and also an acer for £479 at play which has a mobility built into it,
any others i should consider? cheers.

To be honest, the only games-capable laptops below £400 would probably be made by third- or fourth-rate manufacturers. Remember that you pay through the nose for making a PC compact down to the size of a laptop. You might get a just-OK games-playing PC for £400, but you'll need to add another £100-£200 for the equivalent laptop, I'd say...0
