Laptop advice

Ok so looking at a laptop for under 500 quid to play wow on, what do people reckon of this for starters:

Dell Studio 15

Just had a quick look on the Dell website and that's one of the base setups for the Dell studio models - you could go cheaper and get an Inspiron if you prefer, I just like the look of the Studio model :>

Dunno how useful it is to you, have a look around the Dell website - I just had a quick peek ^^

5 left, be quick

just buy a computer, laptops fail

you can build an imba one for under 400euros (don't know how much is that in pounds)

aim for a Nvidea graphic card, all my ATI graphic cards gave me problems throughout the years :<

[Scapey]

Yeah, Ati have traditionally been problematic but the recent cards (last 6 months or so) have been fine.

I use Nvidia too, always have and am something of a fanboy but you shouldn't overlook Ati - they're considerably cheaper at the moment and aren't that much inferior

So far Scape is winning with the Overclockers laptop - not dual core but meh I've lived long enough with only one processor. But i found it for 20 quid cheaper on Play

AMD Turion is a dual core just so you know. And Intel graphics don't "suck" anymore as much as they used to. if you can get something along the lines of X4500 you'll be fine playing wow. X3100 isn't bad either but if you can get a better one you should ;) Stay very far away from any MSI laptops since they can't seem to sort their warranty failures. try and find an Asus or something for a longer 2 year warranty (Acer and HP etc usually have 1 year for their base models) I can recommend the Asus X59SR and the X7 series, they're cheap and they have pretty good specs in that price range. you can get an Asus X59SR for about 600Eur so it shouldn't be over you pricerange ;)

Edit: Yes that overclockers Acer is pretty good for its price. only thing bugging me about it, is that its an Aspire.. not as good as a travelmate but if you're not planning to drop it very often you should be fine ;)
