    I can't find a system requirements page for that game:confused:, makes it hard to give you a good answer. Have you come across a system specs page?

    This Dell would probably do, €420ish delivered, but this Acer at €580ish delivered is altogether better with 2nd generation i3 processor, 640 Harddrive (Double the Dell),6GB RAM (Double the Dell), better graphics card, USB3.

    thanks for that, couldnt really locate a system requiremnts page either, its basically a 2d game so i doubt it would need a top range laptop to run in smoothly, also do you know if dell are the only company who offer credit on there laptops as then i could probaly afford to pay more.

    There are a whole bunch of slightly varying Toshiba's on there that hit your budget right on the head;

    http://www.harveynorman.ie/toshiba-laptop-c660-155.html - I've found 3 almost exact replicas for this price, so take a look.

    i3 processor (2.53ghz) and 4GB ram (can add 4gb more)

    However, if you want a Nvidia graphics card (which I doubt you'll need anyway), they have nothing under 1,000.
