    Hey, Hope you guys can help.

    Basically Im studying computer science in college and I have always been a big desktop lover. But right now i would like a nice smallish laptop to use in college and at home.

    At first i was going to buy the DELL XPS 17. But after some thinking I have Realized there is no point because It is very heavy and bulky, making travelling hard.

    So Im asking you kind people for some help, Im trying to find a thin, portable laptop that isnt too small screen wise to buy, that has decent specs for playing odd games like counterstrike source while im bored.

    Or tell me why the dell xps 17 would be a good buy, because im still quite indecisive.

    Thanks guys

    Samsung RC520
    This is €660 normally but D.I.D have 10% off til midnight tonight online and instore and ya can get another €50 cashback through Samsung. Serious deal. I'll be purchasing one later on today! So you'll be getting it for around €550 then.

    Silly Question: Do you know of any other places in Ireland that would have them (<700)? I want one, and Google isn't being helpful - Only place Ive seen is Harvey Norman + there's none near me.

    Harvey Norman sell them aswell but they wont be as cheap but I'm sure if you quote them the D.I.D price I'm sure they'll match it. Although they wont match that 10% off either but it's still a decent price at that.

    OP the graphics card on that Samsung is worse than the other ones posted above. 540m beats 520m. Then again if you don't game you wont need it.
