• Laptop? :(
    2 replies, posted
I'm looking for a laptop, Its main use will be work with the adobe suite, but would like be able to play games on it too. I think the most intensive game that I'd want to play on the laptop would be Darkspore. Anyway I was looking at a £600 dell xps l501x that has a i5 480m, 4 gb of ddr3 ram and 1gb of graphics ram on a gt420m GPU. I was wondering if anyone knew if there were cheaper laptops around with the same spec, or even if I could lower my price and get something with a worse gpu? i'm not sure about laptop GPUS that's all, and I was wondering if a gt420 1GB is rubbish, or good for my £600 budget. (i've seen HP laptops with a 5470 in them for £500-£600) What do you think anyway?
I have the L501X which I got for around 570, I spent hours every night looking for laptops for the same spec for that price. I couldn't find anything. I decided to go for the XPS and I don't regret it one bit. The only thing I could do with is more ram and HDD space, 'casue I opt'ed for lower spec so I could pay for it.
Good to know, also does anyone know whether buying refurbished laptops are a good idea?
