    Need your help guys! Cant make my mind up on this. I'm getting a laptop soon, my budgets about 750 but I'd like to spend less. All I'm looking for is web browsing and I'd really like to be able to play some games on it, nothing fancy, games a bit less demanding than Doom 3 say. Decent sized harddrive too. I was looking at the inspiron 1520, is that a good buy? I was checking Komplett too but their cheap laptops seem to have ****ty graphics. Thanks folks

    I would have said the Dell (above) would be better... Sure it's an extra €100 odd quid, but it has a better processor, better hard drive and, most importantly, better gfx card...
