Hey all,

I'm considering dumping my current desktop setting and replacing it with just a laptop!

I have around £700 - £800 to spend - although I could increase by a little...

Mostly use my PC to surf/listen to music/code - however, I will want it to be able to handle gaming.

Mostly World of Warcraft, Flight Simulator X, Call of Duty 4 (And COD6 when it arrives ;)) - and I'd want them to run smoothly at maximum detail.

I'm looking for no less than a 17" screen (1920x1200).

If you could help me out at all - show me the way ;) And if you have any comments on changing from a desktop to a laptop setting - give me your advice! Have you done this? Do you think it's a good idea?

Thanks!

Marky
 
You wont get a gaming laptop for £800. But the Dell studio 16 XPS look like the best bet's. 15.6" with 1080p resolution. 1gb 4670, 4gb, upgrade to a 2.4ghz cpu for £30 quid and 500gb 7200 hard drive. At least thats what it was a few days ago when i bought mine though i upgraded mine a bit but that should be like £825, i added in a 3 year warrenty and upgraded network card etc and tv tuner. The deals end today so will be a lil differnt tomorrow. Should play games well though and is smaller and light.


Slow cpu though.
