advice on gaming laptop

54druids

looking for a laptop for my son. Trying to find one as much under £500 as possible that will enable him to play the new batman and other games. I know it is going to be hard but is it possible. I know for example he needs a good graphics card and a good processor but don't know what to look for. Can anyone help?

which other games? i assume you can't discuss his needs with him? (e.g. xmas pressie territory perhaps)

You get what you pay for generally, unless you go to argos or such ;-)

Thanks for your reply. I rather stupidly got my mum to buy him the new batman but now I am worried we wont be able to afford the laptop to run it on. As for others, you are right in that I wont know that until he buys them with his christmas money (if he has any left).Does anyone know what I am to look for in terms of spec. I was told by one person to only look at intel 5 or above but someone else said something about AMD and then hook it up with a good graphics card Nvidea but its a minefield (or more like minecraft lol) out there and I am not an expert so any help would be gratefully recieved

Is £540 OK?
