Hi babe

Well i did not intend to suffice TAX so i am down to £700-£900.

I am payed monthly also i had to add car tax and motorbike tax so it sucks if i had not added that i could gone for almost anything.

Thanks for helping.

Regarding these laptops what bad times have you actually had ?

In general ?????

This is a newer model and comes with up to 2 years warranty if it breaks im sure the people where you bought it may repair for nothing or a small fee for delivering the machine back to its distributor.


I just need a laptop that can play SHOGUN 2 ..... thank you Evil Sexy Hot Jezza Now Haz More Reps.

[HansDuet]

Sure because, you said it man:

Rofl infect its completely the opposite because laptops are are engineed to handle massive titles the new laptops have DDR 3 memory capable of taking a massive work load off your main Machine laptop whatever.

Since you obviously know your stuff, go buy this marvel of a gaming machine!


Seriously though, it kinda sucks for gaming. And its Toshiba, I've had some bad experiences with Toshiba satellites.

me too i dont recommend them to anyone

[Leonidas The Lion]

I just bought one
but lol the GPU is Intel?(i don't think its gonna play very much)

[HansDuet]

No, the GPU is Radeon.

[karamazovmm]

the build quality is meh, my sister broke 3 hds while she had hers, and the fan just stopped working, yes the heatsink was a goner, and so the pc. the screen is terrible. the sound controller broke... and it goes

I would recommend the acer 3820tg as I said in the other thread

[HansDuet]

A certain school in my city acquired 20 Toshiba satellites.

Within a year, each and everyone of them were sent back for repairs. They would froze up and windows wouldn't even reinstall. Now the thing is that if this kind of stuff happens I can only make a conclusion that the quality of that product is atrocious. Ok, they were older budget models but still, I wouldn't buy Toshiba.

or you could go for the ultraportable sony vaio z but it costs a liver and 3 legs

[Ishan]

Acer has a wide and reliable series that u can check out.

The top one is significantly more powerful but a fair bit extra, Asus laptops are well renowned for having extreamly low failure rates and considering they build the units for many other laptop manufactures there isnt much of a reason to go to anyone else.

I have always used Asus notebooks, not one has failed and i have a few friends who also use them and have also never had one fail.

Some rep for you bud.

Thanks ASUS it is then very much appreciated.

Forget your ambien take an Arnold :O.

The only thing I would think about is no one has seen shogun 2's requirments as far as I am aware, though they are both very good laptops don't be dissapointed if they can't reach the settings you want.

[karamazovmm]

the only good notebook i see in there is the X64

the N52 has a low end GPU from Nvidia

And I would still search for the envy 15 its lighter has better build and a much better GPU

I would also look for the ACER 3820tg for its a 13'' with a punch, it has almost the same power as the X64, just slightly less , very slightly

[Fenon]

I have a Sony Vaio FE41M (It can only play NTW on its lowest setting so it won't work well with Shogun 2) had it for 3 years and never had any problems with it, I would recommend the Vaio series. The web cam broke but that doesn't really matter because it was crap, recorded things at the wrong speed and mirrored. I love my Vaio lappy.

[karamazovmm]

Oh yes, and I love the vaio Sz12, its downright gorgeous with a gt 330m and a i7 620m processor, all this in a 13'' package with the weight of 3lbs

the problem is that it costs 2000 bucks in US, I dont wanna even think of the price in Europe

[GasMask]

This is way to hard to make my mind up ...............

Lets break this up a little how about high settings with shadows off ? LOL.

However im sure the ati 5470 packs a punch ?

I was going to go for alienware but im not keen i then went to dell and was put off then acer .... put off then ASUS and i was actually happy with there vast selection.

I was going to custom build one and it would be this as follows.................

Intel I5
6gb of ddr3
nvidia gt 320M or higher or ati 5470
500gb HDD
9 cell battery
custom coolers
extended slots for future upgrades.

However i do not know of anyone who can build laptops....... certainly not anyone local i know of but i may just phone up and ask if i can custom build an asus why the hell not right ?

No it doesn't.

And never go alienware. Never. You'll just get ripped off.
