Ok, well lucky me has come into some money and i want to get a nice laptop. I thought of a upgrade to my PC, but currently is ok for the games im playing and only really interested in Elder Scrolls 4 (when its out) at the moment.
Anyway I am looking at 3 Laptops, but being a novice to dual cores and laptops i want to know how each will run. I have copy and pasted the specs and i don't want to link them as i know OCUK sell laptops, so here goes:
(btw, I got around £4000 but i don't want to blow it all so im after power to money ratio really...but can run good games at good graphics.)
