£500 laptop for Half Life 2 and CS: Source

dont bother getting a laptop with a 3450 graphics card in it.


Not work it no matter if you have a quad core. Terrible card. It seems to have potential in the games it will run, but no matter how low you turn the settings, it cant play stuff smoothly at all.

Can't say I use bluetooth on my laptop ever. Even if you do you can buy a USB bluetooth for pittance.

Just remembered I have one at home that I no longer use :)


Would still love to read a review if there is one out there, and appreciate some pictures if possible guys?

I've heard the keyboard may feel a bit flimsy and cheap? Is that the case you think?
 
Hello,

For the £600 i spent on mine its great, had it 2 months now i think.

Carnt fault it, great set of componets in side.

Been playing stalker clear sky and runs that fine, CS: Source runs perfect as does Left 4 Dead and HL2.

Keyboard seems all good to me, carnt fault it really.

Will get some pics taken tomorrow if u want and try to upload them if i can figure it out.

I think i ran 3dmark on the system when i got it with default drivers, will try and find the results on my portable HDD i think.

Cheers Ben :)
 
No idea about the images sorry, must be image shack problem.

Track pad feels alright to be i use it no and then, mainly on USB mouse though for gaming. Keyboard does its job, carnt say it feels cheap ?? then again not used many laptop.

It's actually a very nice keyboard. It's marvellous to have a full size board, including number pad - it doesn't click, and it feels sturdy enough. It's not as sturdy as my T61 thinkpad at work, but it doesn't feel cheap :)
 
Am I right in saying that these laptops have a spare HDD bay for an additional drive?

Brother may get one of these and throw it in as the OS and have the original as spare data storage?
