sorry my bad this crappy desktop has actually got a 4 series low end card

your looking for a solution thats hardly achieved at your budget laptops tend to always slow down after a 30 mins to 1hr use in gaming and start freezing. The only ones come into my mind is alien ware but its out of your budget. 0

Not necessarily, just clean the cooler every few months and elevate it when in game, shouldnt overheat. The lads and I lan a bit and its older games generally but most of us have sh1t laptops that are working hard. Once cleaned we had no crashes from excess heat.
It really is amazing how much dust can build up in 6 months though, especially for women(powderised makeup) from the machines I've opened.0 -
Its in the title, €800
I'm not looking for blinding gaming performance. Enough to play any of the latest games at reasonable performance.
To be honest, either of those laptops will do you, if you're willing to play at 640x480(or whatever the equivilant widescreen res is), but not at a decent resolution. You're not going to get a good gaming laptop for current games, never mind something futureproofed, for 800 squids... to be honest you'd be looking at a desktop for that. If it's for LAN's, what about a small box? one DVD drive, a 2.5" HD, 4GB ram, i5 processor and a decent GPU would set you back about 600 quid if you built it yourself in a mATX case with a mATX mobo... if that'd suit it's an option, otherwise somethings gotta give-either budget or requirements.evolutionqy7 wrote: »your looking for a solution thats hardly achieved at your budget laptops tend to always slow down after a 30 mins to 1hr use in gaming and start freezing.

Alienware are beefed up dells, heavy price tags. They're the gaming stream, so you have insipron < Studio < studioXPS < alienware... Laptops are the same as desktops in that they slow down when they overheat, so if properly ventilated(get a laptop stand) they won't slow down, they'll stay at the temp they start at... or they should. There's plenty of gaming brands out there, a quick google will give them to you. ASUS and MSI would be where I'd look before alienware... Take a look at this link, didn't read it but it's recent
