HeavyT Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 You're not gonna be running any top of the range games in great detail on that budget, but HDMI is pretty standard now. I'd shop around and look for any half price deals, or hold out until you do find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamond_dust Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 My computer died a few weeks back I ended up getting one of these http://direct.asda.com/Dell-M5040-15.6ins-...default,pd.html. I'm not a big gamer but it works no problems on Sims 3 which is pretty graphic heavy, and more importantly Football Manager works perfectly. Its out of stock online but I went to the big store near here and bought one off the shelves so might be worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 The one I currently have at home is busted up pretty bad. The screen is completely destroyed and about 40% of the buttons don't work on the keyboard. In addition, the Windows install in virus ridden, and it's the kind of virus that will likely require a complete reformat. Also, a new one would allow my girlfriend to do her college work that she currently does on some peice of shit 12 year old Dell that is just so SLOOOOOOOOOW.I've mainly been using my work computer (as I am at the moment).Ah, I see. Shit man, that's no good. Was just wondering if it was something fixable, as we have plenty of PC experts on this forum. I'm sure that Khemical knows his technical stuff, and I'm not sure but I think Ocpw (possibly?) knows a thing or two.PC's ain't cheap, that's for sure. That link from Diamond Dust looks pretty decent though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Up Chuck Posted October 23, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted October 23, 2012 and I'm not sure but I think Ocpw (possibly?) knows a thing or two.Unless there is a user with that actual name, I'm afraid you're mistaken. I know fuck all aside from what I've had to learn out of necessity when stuff's broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted October 23, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted October 23, 2012 I've just noticed that Google are advertising their own laptop now- it's on the front page if you go to Google. Â Looks alright. It's a Samsung, though it's only notebook size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted October 23, 2012 Looking into it. It looks nice, for sure. But I don't know about doing everything in the Cloud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Samsung, though it's only notebook size.  So by the time you've bought an external DVD drive youd be better off either buying the 1 I linked to or Ronnie did.

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted October 23, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted October 23, 2012 Oh shit, I didn't look particularly closely at it. If there's no disc drive, forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Ronnie Posted October 23, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted October 23, 2012 ^^ One that I bought a fortnight ago didn't have a disk drive, Arch. I thought something must be wrong when I was told. It turns out that disk drives must be on the way out, which makes sense considering the once-massive 4.5GB they hold is chickenfeed compared to flash drives today. You can buy USB disk drives for under a tenner if you really like the laptop but need to use disks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
