Better laptop for the money??

DaRealSpoon

Do not try and bend the spoon...
Im thinkin of getting this laptop, want it for doing uni work and general stuff.

Also would quite like it to play the odd game when I have chance to play them. Doesn't have to be super spec as I do have a budget, of which this is near the top end. I'm playing oblivion at the moment so as long as it can cope with that or equivalent I'll be happy.

This spec looks pretty good from what I know, but I've only ever had desktops so Hp might be cack, dunno.

So does anyone know of a better deal for the money??

Desktop replacement laptop, integrated graphics but not intel. Doubt you'll do much better for the money but don't expect any eye candy.
 
It's got X4500 compared to ATI 300 or some such. To be honest both suck badly, they're crap. You'll probably get a fair few games working on them but don't expect good resolutions or any detail or high frame rates. My gut feeling is that the lenovo has worse graphics (Intel sux lol!) but i'm not up to date on that area, Sunray might know, or a bit of googling might find you a comparison as well as a realistic view of what you'd be getting.

You won't get great graphics performance at that price even with a desktop, for a laptop you will be very limited.

The lenovo is more expensive and has seemingly lower spec (RAM + HD), but it's going to be a very well put together and very nice to use laptop.
 
i see what your saying but i cant really go above 450. Do you have any suggestions other than those two in that case? :)

The HP is more tempting mainly cause it's from ebuyer and i get pretty much everything from them.

I'm not looking to play the latest games, like i say, just oblivion sort of level. It's main purpose won't be a gaming machine, just would be nice to if I wanted.
 
Yeh I have a desktop that is pretty good for gaming... well good enough for everything I play. However, I won't exactly be settled domestically for a while I think so it's going to have to go into storage.

Meantime, student loan has arrived so it's lappy time.
