Okay Laptops haven't generally been very good for gaming, everytime they get better so the games leap ahead too - as you probably know really desktops are better for gaming.

Gonzo has said that llano processors are better than i5 for gaming - these processors are at the max budget end, plus there is not much choice at this level.

So in summary, it is the Dell Inspiron N5050 at roughly £345 with the i5 processor (refurbed) or the HP Pavilion G7-1204sa with the llano processor (better) @ £442 - price comparison includes VAT - (you can see the latter at:)

I have used the latter company without hassle over the past 3-4 years - recently bought a Samsung RV520 from them.

Anyone who calls themselves that is not. I absolutely detest the word "techie" and so does everyone I know in the industry.

Oh! You got me! I made up I fix computers for a living to sound cool on an internet forum! Damn you, catching me out like that. You real "computer engineers" are so smart. :beer:
