Laptop £400 w/ Discrete graphics

Sukh · 27 Jul 2010 at 15:52

I am looking for a laptop that is similar to the Tosh L500-1XC but hopefully with discrete graphics to play Football Manager 2010/2011.

I need it to have either DVI or HDMI to play things on my LCD screen at 1080p.

At the moment I have ruled out the Asus UL30A as battery life is not important to me, neither is ultra portability as it will always be used at a desk.

So basically £400 with a gfx card capable of FM2010.

Would like to avoid outlet/refurb if possible.

Thanks guys

UL80VT?

Yeh basically that but with a faster processor maybe? That is a low energy saving model I think.

Do you have the model number for the one with the faster processor?
I foudn this: UL80VT-A1, but it is £700, am I looking at the right one?

I can't remeber if its the "A1" that has the core 2 the only one I founf for your budget is the one with the SU2300 I think its called thats the celrone

you should be able to find it from.....the purples

or someware in the same group as them

Yeh it is quite expensive with the core2duo, I found a dell refurb and wanted some opinions:

Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 2.2GHz
4Gig RAM
500gb HDD
15.6" High Definition TrueLife White-LED Screen
512mb ATi Radeon HD 4570
SRS Premium Sound

for £370

Any good? I think the GFX and CPU are okish?

nice GPU I think its more capable than a G210 not by much with that said, the CPU looks nice
