How would the Dell Inspiron 640m handle a game like CS:Source etc?

Easily its ancient.

lol mate, think your getting CS 1.6 mixed up with CS Source

Source is ancient by my standards oct 04.

Integrated graphics = probably not well. Snoop around on ebay, you can definitely find something with a dedicated graphics chip for that money.

 

[ICE Master]

would you choose a 15.4 inch screen over better battery life, i.e 640m over the 6400 with same spec hd's etc?

 

[Energize]

Personally Id get the one with longer battery life and lighter mass but it depends where youll be using it.

go for an ACER imho for price vs perfomance

Ive heard very bad things about acer, espically their customer support, nevermind the build quality of their laptops, its why they're so cheap.

lol dont make me laugh the reason why we need new laptop is that our acer just over 1 year old needs new mb, only same price as a new dell laptop!!!

EDIT actually in was wrong it was cheaper to get a dell laptop, £666 for new mb and £628 for dell
