    Hi,
    Could someone please tell me is this a good laptop for gaming?
    Also for 3d graphics stuff that my son will want to download?
    Sorry but don't have much of a clue when it comes to this techy stuff:o
    Would really appreciate a few opinions please?
    Many Thanks :)

    In short, no, no it is not a good gaming machine. What's your budget?

    You might be better off looking for a gaming desktop, you will get more for your money :)

    What games are you looking to play on it? 450 is simply not going to buy you anything that will play any games in the last 2 years.

    Spore is one at the minute hes into. Not really any other games.
    He also is mad into papercraft stuff and we have a mac so he can't download the programmes he needs for his stuff. (pepakuraviewer/designer is one hes into at the min)
    Sorry if I'm being vague:confused:

    Really confused now!
    Can someone recommend something if not the toshiba one?
    Hes 12 btw
    Thankyou!
