Hey i was looking to buy a new laptop computer for around £300-£600, I want a good system for gaming and a kind of "all-in-One" package.
Can anyone reccomend a website or spisifc brand of laptop that is perfect specs for playing GW and maby games like HL2, Just a good gaming machines.
Maby you have a review of a paticular product.
I'v been googlin it all day and most of them don't seem "that" great barr some of the awsome looking http://www.rockdirect.com one, but there all £1000+

I don't really have that kind fo cash atm

So anyone can reccomend a good system or site to look for a notebook that is perfect for games like GW and WoW (Relitivly good fsp with med-high setting if possible) at an affordable price, I would be much appreciateive.

Thank you for you time.

If you find one for £300-£600, let me know, as most second hand are around £500, but dont meet the requirements for a 'gaming system' you'll be looking ATLEAST £1000 if you want one that will reach atleast minimum for the gaming system.

I really hate laptops. If you are dead set on one though you might peruse Ebay honestly. You can get decent laptops cheap there. My beef with a laptop is that they aren't as easy to upgrade as a desktop. I can rip the guts out of my computer and replace them top of the line for less than a grand if I shop around. Lap tops you can't do that with, at least not as easily.

I'd never trust used computer parts, especially if they're from Ebay. Even in the event of getting some off of a friend, it's best that you know everything about it before using it. I know that other people find buying parts from Ebay perfectly fine, that's cool with me, but I still think it's to much of a risk for whatever expensive components you're already using and bought new.

I got my laptop from CyberPower for a great price (no more or no less than what you should pay) and it works great, unfortunately it seems that nearly everyone else who's had dealings with CyberPower has had extremely delayed shipping, things DoA, or stuff put together completely wrong. When I Googled for their reviews (which I'll admit I should've done before buying to be safe) literally every result is filled with horribly derogatory statements about them, so while I guess I got lucky, I'll recommend you not buy from there.
