Soldato
Hi. I've decided I'd like to buy a laptop (or notebook/netbook if it fits the bill) purely as a secondary gaming device, but only for point and click adventure games, not fps or anything too cpu/gpu intensive. Most of those type of games I want to play tend have system requirements of no more than 2Ghz and 2GB memory, and often less. To give you an idea, games such as broken sword, black mirror3, or even this http://www.amnesiagame.com/#buy
I won't be needing to do anything else on it, no photoshop, no internet, because I do all that at my desktop pc. It's just for playing non action games in bed
Although at some point in the future if I ever set up wifi at home, I suppose a built in wifi card would be handy. My budget is only up to £200 really. I've seen some refurbished things on the bay, are they safe to go for? Not too bothered about screensize, I suppose 10" is ok, although 12"+ would be ideal.
There's an HP NC6400 gaming laptop for £159.99 plus £14.99 postage on the bay, seller refurbished. Think it's worth going for or could I do better for my budget? I've seen netbooks with much bigger harddrives and windows 7, but they don't have enough processor speed or memory.
