Hi,
I'm looking to buy a 17" laptop and need a little advice. My budget is £600-£800. Primarily i tend to use it as a wireless machine around the house and it will function as a backup to my desktop PC.
Portability is not a huge concern as i have a seperate laptop to use for work. I would want to store plenty of videos, photos and will use it for playing games (esp. Football Manager). I would want a decent battery life though so i'm not constantly trailing a power cable.
The only laptop i have considered so far is the Dell Inspiron 1720-T8300. I was tempted by the M1530s but have been put off by the 15.4" screen - i'm a little concerned i may struggle to play games without using a very high resolution.
Any help is welcome.
Thanks,
Matt
