Hey, can i get some help with finding a good laptop ?

I want one that will be able to run some good games and software, with a good graphics card and good ram.

No idea about the differences between processes and stuff, and i think around 600 pound is the budget. Possibly more/less.

What specs should i be looking for guys ?

My course at uni will be not very demanding on the laptop, so im going for the gaming-standard for entertainment. So long as its got ms word ill be fine :P

Help ?

If you want a powerful laptop you want to look into rock direct.
or go for a high end Acer.

suspect uni will be somewhat a shock to the system if you're yet to have access to your own bank account. dont mean to be rude but your parents sound f**king BATTY.
