    Does anybody want to compare these laptops for me?

    Packard Bell easynote http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/Packard_Bell_EasyNote_TK85_1070755.html#

    Dell Inspiron http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/Dell_Inspiron_15R_1085131.html

    HP G62 http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/HP_G62-b32SA_1083654.html

    To clarify, I am looking for a new laptop. I use it very frequently, a lot of web surfing and playing poker online. I keep a music library of about 2000 songs, and a right few pictures stored on there.

    I do very little downloading, but I do use it for games, though not brand new games. I would like it to handle something like "Left for dead", or the newer Stronghold games.

    I would especially like opinions on the following:

    1) The HP G62 has an Intel I5 processor, the rest have I3. It has worse Ram and hardrive. Does the better processor make up for the worse Ram/hard drive?

    2) The Dell inspiron has a dedicated graphics card. The others have integrated cards. Is the dedicated card a lot better than the others, especially considering I want to play games?

    The Easynote seems much the better package, except the Dell has the dedicated graphics, and the HP has a better processor. What do you think I should go for? Any opinions would be much appreciated!

    TBH the dell is your only option out of those 3 for your needs. The GPUs in the others just wont cut it playing games while the 5650 is actually a very capable card for light gaming (and is a lovely card for overclocking). It will easily play the games listed at medium settings

    See here for some framerates for a number of games (scroll down):

    In terms of the i3 vs i5 for what you are doing and the games you plan on playing I doubt you will see much real life performance differences. The i3 seems perfect for your needs, well able for multitasking a large no. of poker tables.
