Hey people I'm looking to buy a laptop with a max price of ?755 i'd like to run all the newest games on medium grapics with no lag is that possible? or shall i buy a computer? recomend a laptop if you know one please thanks  :D

This is one of the best offer currently :
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834147750

Also note there is a version with quad core u may get it if you want .

thanks but thats way out my price range!  :o
can only afford ?750  :)
anything a little cheaper surley somthing? that laptop has a huge hardrive and massive screen with 4 gigs of memory..

i thought this was 750 pound ;D ;D ,
let me check again so your price is around 1000$ ?

hah no worries    :D
1350$ is my max price
buying from america doesnt make any diffrence when using in the uk does it? like game compatibility for instance... thanks so far!

U will run all new game @ middle and in some case @ low setting with this budget notebook :
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220342 (here is another option but with 17 inches screen :
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834147747
)
But for better gaming i will go with 17 inches and above screen 8800 Gts or better 2 Gb memory and Above , core 2 processor .


a bit better

4GB ram with 9700GT

about the same as above but with 17 inches monitor :

Wow really thanks you have helped alot!  :D
so the last option http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834147749
the computer with the NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT
would be the best choice for running games at medium graphics?
what games would run at low? crysis?
i take it it can run spore    :)

oooh and crap everything will work fine won't it im buying from england.. like english games?

The GeForce 9600M GT for notebook = 8500 GT for desktop , its performance is between the 9500M GS and the 8700M GT.
Please do not confuse laptop and desktop video card .
9600M GT (notebook) = Only 8500 GT for desktop

The 9600 Gt for desktop has 256 memory bus and more stream processor so it is about twice faster .
SO for crysis u have to drop your screen resolution to 800x600 and to set graphic to low (in other words will not play crysis but a 19xx game  ;) )
FOr crysis u will need the notebook that i noted first @ list , There is no large sense to play game and desable all graphic on them  ;)

For most other game the card is good enough with medium setting @ the laptop resolution .

aaah thanks  :D
i'll probaberly save up for the first comptuer listed in that case, looks a little large for school though..
maby ill just buy a computer from www.arbico.com
thanks for all the help  ;D

Hey agein im buying the laptop you first recomended, one last question
will the laptop work in the uk like with power etc? as it has a diffrent power outlet etc...
or does that laptop work over here fine? if it doesn't then where or how can i make it work over here?

Uk use 110 or 220 v ?
From where do u plan to purchase this notebook ?.
Finally Newegg is for US buyer only .
The first laptop that i noted has a four core version (i will be better to with this one),

ok we use 240 over here.. oooh i would buy from here but i can't find one as cheap i need one form england then? from ?850... thanks
