Database Develop

Advice Needed on a laptop

Hi Everyone,
Ive been follwoing the development on the HD2 you guys are producing some good stuff.
I have been looking for a laptop now for some time which I could use for gaming, but my budget is 500quid
this has really taken my fancy;
Toshiba Satellite Pro L670-14L
Intel® Core™ i3-330M Dual Core Processor,
17.3" HD+ Screen,
Windows 7 Home Premium Edition 64-bit,
4GB DDR3 RAM,
320GB HDD,
DVD Rewriter,
Dedicated ATI 5650 Graphics,
Bluetooth, HDMI, PSK3FE-00V00REN
for £500
What do you think?

Sounds great for the money
Otherwise maybe look at this Samsung, Which I personally will probably buy when I get the cash
Samsung R580 and the Amazon page.
although it is a smidge over £500
Specs;
15.4" LED HD screen (1366 x 768)
Intel i3 330m (2.13Ghz)
nVIDIA GeForce 310M (With 512MB dedicated memory)
It's red
HD Audio
Webcam
Bluetooth
Wifi (etc..)
Num Pad
HDMI
and some more stuuf

I´ll prefer Toshiba

MW3 only on low settings if. I got a Intel HD 3000 and a nvidia gt540m.
But if I was you I would look for something better if you plan play some games. I think nvidia gt540m works good with MW3 because I play it on my notebook and the graphics look good.
When i played MW3 on the Intel HD 3000 I had idea it was not running so smooth.
But Intel HD 3000 can handle 1080p just fine and you can also play some games but I think games like bf3 will not run good on this notebook.
I myself got an Asus K53SV-SX838V and it has Nvdia optimus.

Thanks for replying,
Actually, I can't afford a laptop as expensive as that. It would be not fair bcuz all of my siblings got mid range price laptops. I just need a cheap gaming laptop.

My notebook has an i7 2670QM and 8GB Ram, and a decent GPU Nvidia GT540 and it came with a 640GB harddrive which I replaced with a 128GB SSD.
My notebook was € 587 and I even have an USB 3.0 port and the build quality is good. My notebook is an Asus K53SV-SX838V, but I got it with a really good promotion.
So I don't think my notebook was expensive at all.

I don't know, you look look further? I have no idea what the price off computers is in your country.
Maybe you can better buy an notebook with AMD, because AMD Fusion processor. As these notebooks are really cheap and they seems to have a good GPU part with it.
I'm not fan off AMD, but you can look into it, read online and compare.

Intel GFX chips are useless. "even with dedicated memory, but most of them uses shared memory."
No Nvidia or AMD graphics chip = no game.

The 3D performance of the HD 6320 should be only minimally faster than a 6310 and therefore only low demanding or older games should run fluently (e.g. Call of Duty 4, Sims 3, Left 4 Dead 2, Fifa 11).
Based on the chip in the link bellow it's only a few Mhz faster.

Unfortunately gaming laptops are bank breakers. "cost very much for very little."

All and all not bad but many new games will feel the burn even at minimum.
Anything else i can assist you with?

Nexus 7 vs wikipad gaming tablet?

Regarding the controls, it's unlikely that they would properly fit anything except a Wikipad, and I could be wrong but it looks like there's some type of connector that it plugs into on the Wikipad.

title misleading?

It was an old wreck running window 3.1 with 12 or sth MBytes of ram and a hard disk of ~250 Mbytes. Black and white monitor, and a brand new 3,5 floppy (not like the old 5 inch ones). I used to play Prehistoric Man on this and Lemmings.

I know, I'm a kid !

First real computer was a BBC B (with a sideways ROM/RAM board giving me an extra 16KB of RAM with the flip of a switch - total 48KB) and was far superior to the C64
We had it with a RGB Cub monitor and a double floppy drive monitor stand. I remember one of dad's friends saying "Why do you want to waste money on floppy drives? Tapes will be around for years!"
We had it out in Saudi Arabia, but back in the UK as part of the BBC Education project which had spawned Acorn's creations they would broadcast programs over the radio for home users to record to tape and then load.
Without the success of Acorn's computers, ARM wouldn't have been created and we wouldn't have the smartphones of today.
A year or so later we got our first PC, and IBM XT clone, costing $6000 with a 10MB hard drive and a 8088 CPU running at 4.77MHz

Mine was an old jalopy from CompUSA. I had to sign up for a year of Prodigy Internet (remember those guys, lol) to subsidize the price. It had a 10GB HDD, and like 128MB of RAM. It was slllllow. It had 56k.

Mine was a custom built AMD running at 40 mhz. Had a 40 meg hdd, dual 3.5 and 5.25 floppy drives, 256k ram circa 1990. It was screaming fast compared to similar Intel's of the time.
