Hey all. My current laptop is about 4 years old now and it just isn't able to keep up with the newer games anymore - namely WoW and CS:S.
I did consider a nice desktop rig but my studies don't really allow for it. I usually fly between the US, UK, Japan and Taiwan multiple times per year for extended stays, so lugging around or mailing a big desktop just isn't possible really.
The only requirements are that it can play recent games on half decent settings and has a 17 inch monitor. I'm not worried about weight or size really as I rarely bring it in to uni for anything. I'll just set it up and leave it in my room to use like a desktop.
I'm looking to spend around £1000 for a nice setup with the absolutely maximum being somewhere around £1200. I heard the Dell Vostro has gotten some nice reviews so I took a quick glance at those. How about the XPS series? Bit expensive but I might be able to stretch it.
