Hey,
Could someone help me out here :P, I need to find a cheapish laptop for my friend that he can use to take to school and use for school work, browsing the web etc, he would also like to play a few older games on it like GTA Vice City, GTA 3, Halo, Quake 3.
Help pls. XD

Echmaine laptops are ok? or if your wanting a good cheap one a lenonvo n200 Ive got one its got finger print scanner built in wirless and bluetooh and its like £200 - £300
Probably around £350ish? It doesn't need to be uber great, the graphics don't need to be fantastic to run those old games either.Quote:

Your battery will be like 1 hour or less onit due to such a big screen it will like drain that battery and quick!

Sorry, usually im messing with Dell Latitudes, how about that Inspiron 17? :P
It wouldn't be under an hour, it'd be mroe like an hour and a half +
My mum has a Studio 17, they have WLED TFT screens so it hardly drains the power.Quote:

Well I dunno All I know is IBM Are super cheap Lenovo ( What I got ) are Brilliant and emachines are good caue ive got 2 of them as well.
That's an interesting proposition actually, those Studio 15s are fairly decent by the looks of it, ill have to have a chat with him :p

That will play all them games, and more.
And it's at a great price. :)
I will not recommend a laptop with an AMD processor dammit! :P
Nothing wrong with AMDs in a laptop as long as it's not a Sempron.Quote:

Compaq do some decent machines. Just avoid Acer. They're the worst PCs ever, after owning 4 of them.

4? You must have wanted them to work :D
To be fair, 1 was old (win 2k old), and another was 3 years old off eBay.Quote:
