Laptop Comparison - Very light gaming

Peck3277 · 2014-04-30 14:50:56

Hi all, I'm looking at two laptops at the moment. My main use will be browsing the internet and media. I would also like to be able to play a few games. Nothing really modern, it would be nice but outside my budget. I'd set my budget at about e700 max. What do you guys think of these two? Apparently I can't post URLs…

Hi all,

I'm looking at two laptops at the moment. My main use will be browsing the internet and media. I would also like to be able to play a few games. Nothing really modern, it would be nice but outside my budget. I'd set my budget at about e700 max.

What do you guys think of these two? Apparently I can't post URLs because I'm a new user so please add in the www in the below links

I currently have a toshiba and it's a nightmare with the fan despite cleaning it and replacing the thermal gel. I read it was a common issue with Toshiba's 2-3 years ago, is that still the case?
