I'm going to have to delay my plans for a big rig and get a laptop for now. I want plenty of bang for my buck and i have £600 ($820) to spend. Can anyone beat the Acer Aspire 6930G. Prices from the US must be shippable to the UK and this must come into cost at less than $30.
Here's the 6930G's spec.
Processor - Intel Core 2 Duo T5800 / 2 GHz ( Dual-Core )
RAM - 3 GB (installed) / 4 GB (max) - DDR3 SDRAM ( 1 x 1 GB + 1 x 2 GB )
Hard Drive - 250 GB - Serial ATA-150 - 5400 rpm
Operating System - Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium
Screen - 16' TFT 1366 x 768 ( WXGA ) - 24-bit (16.7 million colours) - CineCrystal
Optical Drive - DVD±RW (±R DL) / DVD-RAM - integrated
Graphics - NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS
Price: £469.20
OR, with a beefier GPU
Processor - Intel Core 2 Duo P7350 / 2 GHz ( Dual-Core )
RAM - 3 GB (installed) / 4 GB (max) - DDR2 SDRAM ( 1 x 1 GB + 1 x 2 GB )
Hard Drive - 250 GB - Serial ATA-150 - 5400 rpm
Operating System - Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium
Screen - 16' TFT 1366 x 768 ( WXGA ) - 24-bit (16.7 million colours) - CineCrystal
Optical Drive - DVD±RW (±R DL) / DVD-RAM - integrated
Graphics - NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GS - 512 MB

Plus, what kinda gaming performance can i get from each and is the difference between the 9300GS and the 9600GS worth the difference in price?
