That's for that SciFiCat. i'm going to have a look through that in a sec. But first of all tell me what you think of this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Acer-Aspire-8920G-Intel-Core-2-Duo-320GB-HDD-3GB-RAM-18-4Inch-Laptop-27715-/261157824242?pt=UK_Computing_Laptops_EH&hash=item3cce3826f2
£400 is $634.56. Well like i said i'm not interested in playing Hardcore games such as Cod or any shooter in fact. I've been bidding on this laptop http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261155918618?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1426.l2649
I want to get myself a 'new' laptop and i would like some suggestions from you guys. My budget is around £350 and i don't mind is the laptop is new or used, from ebay or amazon etc.
I woulld like a 17-18 inch HD screen mainly for watching films but i would also like to be able to do some casual gaming. I wont be playing cod etc on my laptop as i have a PS3 for that. But i do like stratedgy/simulation games so i would like to be able to play the new Sims or Command and conquer on at least medium settings. I would also like to play Eve online. I have a Dell inspiron N5010, so you have something to go from.
So any advice/suggestions woulld be fantastic, i just don't want to be spending £350 ona laptop to find out i've bought a load of crap :P
I rent most of my games from lovefilm and only buy the odd game i i'll be playing for months. When the new generation comes i will be buying the console thaty lets me buy used games. If they both have restrictions on used games then i will just have to see which console offers the most for my money.
I've bought plenty of laptops from ebay over the years, i know they don't have warrentys etc. That doesn't bother me. If they break i will attempt to fix them and if that's not possible i sell them. But the acer is looking to be the better one then?
I'm looking to buy a 'new' laptop, now i don't use my current laptop (Dell Inspiron N5010) for much more than browsing the internet and watching films/tv programs. But what i do want is a 17-18 inch HD screen (Real Hd such as 1080p)and a descent Graphics card so i can at least play semi recent PC exclusives.
My dell is not very good for gaming, i recently tried playing Eve online on low settings which did work but started lagging like mad once i hit bigger areas. So i've been looking through ebay at different laptops and i've deicded on one of these.
