    I'm eyeing up a nice little inferno from pcspecialist.co.uk with a view to having an easily portable system with as much gaming bang as I can get for my buck (700-750ish). I've done my research and afaik these specs will suit me down to the ground, but before I bite the bullet I want to ask you folks, can I do better with my budget?

    Specs:

    Chassis & Display Inferno Series: 11.6" Matte HD LED Widescreen (1366x768)

    Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™i5 Dual Core Mobile Processor i5-3210M (2.50GHz) 3MB

    Memory (RAM) 8GB SAMSUNG 1600MHz SODIMM DDR3 MEMORY (2 x 4GB)

    Graphics Card NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 650M - 2.0GB DDR3 Video RAM - DirectX® 11

    Memory - 1st Hard Disk 500GB SERIAL ATA II 2.5" HARD DRIVE WITH 8MB CACHE (5,400rpm)

    External DVD/BLU-RAY Drive NONE

    Memory Card Reader Internal 9 in 1 Card Reader (MMC/RSMMC/SD: Mini, XC & HC/MS: Pro & Duo)

    Thermal Paste ARCTIC MX-4 EXTREME THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY COMPOUND (£9)

    Sound Card Intel 2 Channel High Definition Audio + MIC/Headphone Jack

    Network Facilities GIGABIT LAN & WIRELESS INTEL® N135 802.11N (150Mbps) + BLUETOOTH

    USB Options 2 x USB 3.0 PORTS + 1 x USB 2.0 PORT AS STANDARD

    Battery Inferno Series 6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery (62.16WH)

    (oh and operating system or no isn't an issue for me)
    so what do ye think? Cheers folks :)

    edit: also hdd isn't important, I've a 60gb ssd which I'll throw in, if I can live with the space issues:)

    I don't think there is much out there that can beat that price, 11" gaming laptops are rare. I think you could probably save yourself £9 on the thermal paste, I read they only apply it to the CPU, its the GPU thats going to be pumping out most of the heat anyway. The only thing I would be sure of is that your happy with the screen size, its pretty small.
