Mate is in US with RAF at the mo, he owes me £300 too, has been looking in that big evil supermarkety company in the US at laptops, and im quite tempted after hes told me some prices and iv looked at the website, theres a mega cheap acer 22" monitor too, just wondering would a UK kettle plug go fine into the monitor and wouldnt be a problem with the laptop in the UK?
Also what would happen with warrantys?
**EDIT**
Looking at Acer AL2223WD (22") Monitor, aswell as Acer X241Wsd (24")
What are these like compared to the 22" Sammy+LGs avail at most UK outlets? The price of the 24" is less than a lot of decent branded UK 22", and the 22" is about the same price as a 19"!!
Oh, Acer Aspire 9410 laptop too, damn its got nice specs but has the intel GMA 950 in it! GRR
hm, Toshiba 15.4" Satellite A215-S7414 too, ATI Radeon Xpress X1200 graphics with 128 to 319 MB of dynamically allocated shared graphics memory - doesnt sound promising either! haha.
Compaq Presario F579WM with a 6150 sounds a bit better though..
Basically boils down to a few questions, how do said above monitors compare to the common ones on offer on UK etailer websites?
They are obviously LOTS cheaper and im a student, I do enjoy my games and have a 8800GTS which Ill be upgrading soon, when OcUK get new cards in and they are in the offers
, but i dont mind just gaming on my current monitor for now.
I will be doing a fair bit of 3d modelling over the next year, and im a big film fan - Im sure the monitors will both be better than my Sammy 913N at the moment though..
Which of the laptops would people go for? They are all roughly same price - £300 for the comp, £325 for the Tosh, £350 for the acer pretty much.
It will be used for a little modelling perhaps, though not any proper rendering, obviously word etc, and it would be great if i could play a few games on it. My mates dont really have good laptops so if we lan on them i think the best we'll be playing wont be much past an old strat, maybes cs 1.6, one mate can manage battlefield, oh maybes some C+C generals..
Would the x1200 or 6150 be able to manage the PES2008 on low graphics does anyone recon? That would be extremely SEXY if it did.
Oh, and how will warrantys be affected, Would i be able to use the UK departments or what?
Also what would happen with warrantys?
