Laptop Sought - Half-Decent Gaming Performance

As per subject.

Budget is £500 - £600.

Games in question are COD4 MW, Trackmania Forever.

Suggestions? (Other than don't do gaming on a laptop :rotfl:)

Good luck with that. You're roughly £500 short if you want to buy a new one.

What about something like that?

Yeah - you might be lucky to get Trackmania working on a ~£600 laptop, but I don't reckon COD will be playable.

Actually, I've just found this (year old) roundup of gaming laptops that might be of interest - the cheapest is £599 so if you don't mind the laptop weighing over 5kg maybe you could get some games to just about play... who knows...?

if you can throw £100 more at it you should be able to find something for example http://www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk/system/Xplorer_X6-9200_Notebook/ as according to this http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-540M.41715.0.html it will have 'ok' performance in cod and trackmainia, however the big problem is the fact they have put a full hd screen on it, which of course will push the gpu when gaming
