Laptop suggestion?

[AHarvey]

Hi all,

After a laptop for around the £400 mark. Will be used for web, email & office, as well as web development, photography & photoshop, watching dvd's, programming and a few games too but nothing demanding. maybe things like Lotro or Eve at the most.

Any suggestions?

Doesn't have to be ocuk but obviously, no competitors being mentioned! just post the model and I'll google it.

Hmm I thought Eve online was pretty intensive on the graphics and LOTRO isn't far behind. My budget thread maybe more expensive but I can't see the basic intel cards being man enough for any games

Below is a great site if you find a machine with a gfx card to see how powerful the card is

Post if you find something as i'd be interested

Eve is only intensive if you have the graphical add on pack added and if Lotro works on the works PCs I didn't think it would be that intensive.

Games are really an added extra, as long as it can easily do the other stuff I don't mind about the games

Would also consider going second hand if a good deal was to be found!

HP 6735s is an awesome buy for the money.
