A friend has asked me to find him a laptop for around the £450 mark; he's not a big gamer but he did say he wanted it to last more than a few years before becoming completely obsolete.
i was looking at something along the lines of a core i3, dedicated graphics, 500gb hdd, 4gb memory and as many usb and smart card ports as possible.
i've seen this:
MSI CX623-258UK @ ILGS for £472
but was wondering if anyone knew of anything better before i go tell him to buy it
cheers guys
