Any decent laptops around £400?

Hi guys,

Looking around for a laptop that will do most office/school work, wireless Internet and a bit of gaming for £400. Decent processor, 1 gig of RAM, 256 graphics and a decent sized HD are preferable.

Any bargains out there that u guys have seen?

Cheers

You'll be very lucky to get anything other than integrated graphics using system memory at that price. Depends what sort of gaming you want you to do.

£400 and latest 3d gaming No.

£327 inc delivery with older games Yes, from Dell , alter the warranty to 90 days and buy through Quidco for a further 4% cashback.

£ for £ there are non cheaper or more powerful for the money.

and add the £11 six cell battery if you plan regular leccy free use.

Have you looked at the Dell offers?

I hate that people believe that the memory on a graphics card gives an indication of how good it is - you can buy a gfx card for £30 with 256mb ram on it and it will be useless with games yet you can also buy a card for over £100 with the same memory - you can't compare graphics cards like this.

can someone explain about the hardware support. What does the 90 day service mean? Is it best to go for the 1 year basic service?
