Need a new lappy for uni because my current one is failing from 2 years of abuse

been browsing around for days trying to find a decent laptop and i think the best i have found is this:

main things i will be using it for is watching vids, light gaming during lunch and photoshop/video editing for my uni work

waddya reckon?

you have too much money for a "poor" student!!

looks good, 4gb ram will be pointless tho on vista home, but it was probably just as cheap for them to put that in than 3.
but plenty of storage for your vid/photoshop work
nice size screen for watching tv/vid
dedicated gfx for some casual gaming
decent cpu for all of the above.

looks like a winner wolfie.

not too sure about the graphics on that thing, hypermemory is horribly overrated, and the card in that lappy performs worse then a 8400 according to these benchmarks:

even if you're only looking for a lappy for uni work and light gaming, i'd really really recommend getting a decent GPU. for css/tf2/l4d with tasty fps you more or less need at least a 8600M GT (my card, which struggles with RA3 and runs FC2 at med/high).

shameless asus plug, but wth. have a looksie at these laptops, probs can find them a bit cheaper but it's the specs that count. and yes, i know the X-series has about the same gpu, but it's the same price and the 3470 is a fair bit quicker then the 3450

soz for being such a moaning git btw

also hypermemory is useless.

whats wrong with slate and chalk???
anyway shouldn't you be spending your hard earnt EMA/student handout on cheap booze and pot noodles, oh and shopping for clothes in Age concern, as it's 'oh so retro'...
I bet your favourite movie is some Russian film noir, and you have a doctor who quilt cover and you still cuddle up to your teddy bear called Heskwith, that you've carried with you all the way through boarding school and sits snuggly in your slightly scuffed and battered school satchel.
Your sister has a pony called cassandra, your parents house has more bathrooms than a B+Q store and your Great Aunt Cecelia, has a 'best friend ' called Marjory that she has lived with for the past 40 years, since seperating from your mad uncle Philbert who ran off with a pygmy sherpa from the outer Hebrides whilst on a bear baiting expedition...

actually looks like quite a good buy tbh...

The graphics card is a bit iffy... I'd be trying for something a little better on that end. Have you had a look at the mesh ones, as these can be ordered over the phone...

Dell are competitive with their offers. That's clearly a better PC for what you want.

Welcome!

Imagine This:
Going to a massive game server, where everyone knows everyone else, its all taken in a good manner and there to be enjoyed. The way Gaming should be. Thats what we do every day!

Like None Other
Team MX is like no other 'clan' ever conceived, we are a team, Team MX. We're probably the largest UK clan ever, we have over 170 team members with well over 130 of them actively playing. Team MX is over a year old now, celabrating its first birthday in November last year. Headed up by the worlds biggest n00b, MoggieX and backed up by some outstanding n00blets, known as the core admins.

We don't recruit twats!
Quite frankly we ain't interested in matches, or 'twats' (mainly gobby teanagers, you know the ones), if this is something you're looking for, or are, you're not in the right place at all. However, IF you are a utter n00b (like I am, MoggieX) and enjoy the 'whole' online gaming expereince, where you can make friends from all over the world, then you have found yourself a new home.

A Little More About Team MX
Also quite interestingly, every Team MX member gets a limited amount of admin privilages, its been the norm for people to pay for such rights, here you get them free and you can also feel at ease that there is only small group of admins, the core admins that have the access to any player abuse commands. So you can play in realtive safety, knowing that the server you're on is patrolled by an army of admins. We have members from the ages of 9 to well past retirement, probably with an average age twice that of other clans, a prime example that this is no ordinary clan.

Joining Team MX
We don't let just any old person join, you have to prove yourself over a long period of time. If you're turning up here thinking you're going to join us in a few days, you're sorely mistaken. In most cases it takes over a month to be recruited and thats just the lucky ones! People (not players) rarely leave Team MX, if they do, we never really seem to get rid of them, lol.
