Gaming Laptop

Kevo

Hi all

I'm looking for a gaming laptop with a decent graphics card. Im willing to pay about 1600 and mobility isn't very important.
Any ideas?

Also, what processor is best for gaming. I cant decide between tye pentium m and amd turion.

heres the links to laptops im thinkin of buying:

None of those Laptops have enough graphics power for gaming, you need something more like this.

Acer Aspire 9104WLMi TV - £999.95 = €1,466.80 plus shipping

I have a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pro with 128mb graphics.

It has a killer screen and plays Half Life 2 perfectly.

It's quality

Im liking the hewlett packard you mentioned but it doesn't seem to give any info on the graphics card other than its memory so im a bit worried that it might be onboard graphics from the motherboard and I have been warned not to get anyting with that. Do you know if it is an independent card?

The hp has a dedicated ATI Mob Radeon X600 256MB graphics card Kevo, it would want to at that price.

I'd back that up.

Get one with the X300 with 128mb from the outlet store for €1100 which isnt bad.

Have played Half Life 2, GTA Vice City on it with no problems and they both look very nice on it

Yeah if you are buying a sports car.. Unfortunately, if you are looking for a laptop that lives up to both the visual and performance aspects that the Ferarri brand suggests, you will be sadended... Second best..
