    Hey I was looking on the web for a decent laptop and came accross this http://www.currys.co.uk/martprd/product/seo/937014#productInformationSection it's the Samsung R510 laptop.

    I'm very happy with the spec and the price, but not sure about the GFX card, is it any good, will it play CoD4 at all?

    Can I get a better laptop for this price?

    Cheers,

    Tim

    "Graphics Card Type Intel GMA X4500"

    This useless for playing games...certainly like COD4 499 sterling is like 625 euro probably closer to 700 allowing for the rip off factor over here ....You would get a FAR FAR better gaming pc even at that money on the Dell Outlet etc etc If you spend a little more ...850 say....you will get a 15" machine that will game as good as any...

    It's 650 here in PC World and currys, I just thought the RAM and Processor was good, I'm not mad into gaming, but would like to have the option to add certain games like CoD4 even on a low graphics setting, as I already have a PC at home which I use to play the odd game, so I'm not looking for a gaming laptop, it was just for college thats all.

    So do you think it's worth the money? or would I get better for the same? if so could you give me an model name?

    Thanks for the reply,

    Tim
