    This

    Is it a good deal? Is the graphics card good for the price? Like would I be able to run games like crysis decently? Is the monitor display good or is Argos generally bad for laptops?

    The reason im not using dell.ie is that I need a laptop by the end of the weekend, and dell laptop deliverys tend to take at least 2 weeks.

    Can anyone recommend me anything else if this isnt a good deal for around €800 in a shop or a online shop that can deliver in 1-3 days about.

    cheers

    That graphics card really isn't great, i'd say it would struggle to play crysis tbh. From googling that machine the processor is a t4000 series of some variety, which is okay, nothing great. It's no gaming machine anyway.

    Is a procceser Intel Core 2 Duo T5750 and graphics card ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 better than the ones in the samsung? Im not really looking for a big gaming machine, but something that can play recent enough games decently and dont take ages to load.
