    First off you should let us know what your main use of the laptop will be and what's your budget.
    The first link just took me to an ebay sign in screen.
    The second link goes to a list of Dells ranging in price from €379 to €3,399

    so what will you be doing? surfing the net? word?

    I'd say you could buy new for a bit less than your budget say 300-400 euro .. and the laptop should do all you need.

    well Minimum System Requirements for anno 2070
    OS: Windows XP/Vista/7
    Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.0 Ghz / AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800++
    Memory: 2 Gb
    Hard Drive: 5 Gb free
    Video Memory: 512 Mb
    Video Card: nVidia GeForce 8600 GTS / ATI Radeon HD 6350
    Sound Card: DirectX Compatible

    __it seems like for that game you are better off with a dedicated graphics card.
    Though if you don't mind lowering game graphics/specs/settings. It'll work on min fine.

    I think your choice from dell is fine. Though I don't think the nvidia 630 GPU is all that much better from intels integrated graphics in the I3. I could be wrong on that though. Maybe someone else will say.
