hey all
got a laptop query, been tasked with finding a really cheap laptop which is capable of playing the sims 3 and then just the very basics of web, email etc, no gaming beyond the sims.
so anyways been looking around and spotted a system
AMD N830 (triple core at 2.1ghz)
3gb ddr3 ram
ati 4250 with 256 dedicated ram
and a 250gb hdd
for £230
so what you lot think, good enough? most of my research says that it should be fine running it on low to medium settings so would be acceptable, just wanted to run it past you lot first

Drop a brand challenge
on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)
