Deep Breath.... Ok i'm looking to buy a Gaming Laptop for ~€1,500, i'll be travelling around a bit so it needs to be reliable and have a good battery life and built in wifi NIC. Wherever i purchase from has to be able to deliver to Ireland. I'm a little green on the brands, but i have a dell desktop which i like and have been looking at the XPS range:
The Dell Online Store: Build Your System
The Dell Online Store: Build Your System
The 1st is cheaper and has a better processer. It has a {128MB nVidia® GeForce® 8400M GS} and the 2nd has a {256MB DDR3 nVidia® GeForce™ Go 7900}, I dont know which is better there. The second sys also has 7200rpm HD. Does that make much difference?
I also know little about dedicated/shared graphics memory, are the above 2 dedicated? I have XP atm and with all the issues people are having with Vista i'm inclined to stay the same. I'll probably end up having to compromise somewhere though. This one also caught my eye:
Asus G1S Gaming Laptop G1S-AK005C From Laptops Direct
Can I please get some feedback from people less green than I (or a slap of reality if you can find systems better than these) :surprised: ...
Thanks!
