    You won't get a gaming PC for that price, nevermind a laptop.
    That;s not true actually, you could.
    But you need a laptop with a GPU, which on it's own,at it's most basic is gonna be about 4-500, and start adding on extras.
    What kind of games you want to play on it?

    wtf is an "ati radeon 1Ghz"???????????

    to the OP, not a chance in hell, i got my wife a laptop last year with( by desktop standards ) a 9600GT, its complete rubbish and the best it does is 30FPS at minimum settings @ 800x600 lol, is fine for what she uses it for, that laptop cost 700euro and tbh it does have a decent card in it and i got a deal. Youre talking 1000-1200 for a laptop to play at minimum settings with 40-50FPS. If you ask me its a waste of time even trying, not only that battery life is crap for laptops with decent cards

    Ignoring idiots who comment "far right" because they don't even know what it means

    This machine for sale with 3gb ram in HN waterford for €599. Was for sale there the other day can't find it on their website though.

    It's the only laptop I could see there with an i3 and anything more than a graphics accelerator for less than 700. Might be worth a look for the money.
