Something like this http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/lenovo-flex-2-pro-15-6-2-in-1-black-10106837-pdt.html .
I have this one, http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/lenovo-z50-15-6-laptop-white-10108704-pdt.html, which should be able to runs those games.
I'd look closer to Christmas as things move fast laptop land.0 -
thank you - ill have a good look at that now and compare the specs, it doesnt have to be the top of the range one if it runs those games so if this does it mayve gone down in price by xmas too lol..0

Have a look at https://www.dell.co.uk/outlet and their ebay account too.
I just bought a "refurb" - which if its anything like any others i've bought through outlet will be new - Alienware 13, with upgraded full HD screen and a 1 TB HDD for £690 delivered - Alienware site price £1040.
They had non upgraded ones for around the £600 mark.
Make sure you note whether its a refurb or "scratch and dent". The latter may have the odd mark on it, but they tend to be cheaper.0 -
For gaming You required laptop with Powerful configuration.i think the best game supporter is 1.73 GHz Processor, 2 GB Ram, 80 GB Hard drive. Lenovo and Hp are best options.
