Laptop for gaming - £500

Doesn't need to be a powerhouse. Just needs to be able to play things like WoW, and some newer titles, not bothered about crysis and stuff.

Was looking at the MSI FX720. Not sure how good the GT 520M is though.

You might wanna wait untill AMDs Llano APU is released, should be laptops out with them in the next month or so. They have an integrated gpu which is as powerful as the low end discrete cards. Also power usage on them is very low so battery life should be very good.

well its for a friend, but he says he would like something with a 1080p screen...

I've since looked at the Acer Aspire 8943G, which has a 1080p screen, i5 450M and Radeon 5650, which I can get for £480. Seems like a reasonable price.

ok my budget us up to 600 now. Ive had a look at the Dell outlet, and theres some nice laptops there, but I would still love something big, with a 1080p screen.
