Spikester Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Hi guys, well I'am in need of a new laptop and have about £500-£600 to spend. Was searching around and came accross this new Dell model: -- Intel Core 2 Duo Processor ULV SU7300 (1.3GHz, 800MHz, 3MB) DISC GFX -- Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium, 64bit -- 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD4330 -- 4096MB 1067MHz Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM [2x2048] Now this is £599 from Dell's website, and was wondering if this will play FM 2010 very well, or should I try and find a laptop with a better/faster processor? Any help is much appreciated. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
encore69 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 i would look around, you can get better then that for £600 for example http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/asp/versions.asp?rewrite=ASUS_K50IN_SX025C_Laptop_K50IN-SX025C&pagetype=version&page= Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikester Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 Its also one of those slim and light laptops that use less power and last longer. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald-Duck Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 The processor is on the very weak side, not sure if it would be good enough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
encore69 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 your best bet is to look around as i don't think dell are value for money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leppard Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 If you can afford it, get a Dell Studio laptop. I'm planning on buying one. For around $950, I get: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2ghz processor 4Gb RAM Vista Home Premium (free Windows 7 upgrade) ATI HD 4750 (I think) graphics card etc. Not half bad. I think £600 should cover it...

Any help is much appreciated. Steve i wouldnt bother, the processor is hideously underpowered for doing anything other than word processing/internet browsing. i honestly find most computer retailers mislead their customers, i mean,theyve bothered to stick a dedicated graphics card in but left you with that limp excuse of a cpu :confused: end rant. try looking around, amazon have some good ones, as do overclockers and dabs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spikester Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 Ok, i've found a new laptop for the same price, would this one run FM 2010 very well???: ACER 7736G -- Intel Centrino 2® Core™ 2 Duo (P7450 - 2.13 GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 3MB) -- Screen 17.3" (Acer CineCrystal, LED Backlit, 1600 x 900 Resolution) -- RAM HIGH (4096MB 4GB) -- Hard Drive 320GB -- Graphics Dedicated (NVIDIA® GeForce® G210M with 512MB DDR Dedicated Memory) Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevio11 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 That will do the job,I have an Acer with stats like that and have no probs with FM DEMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArranoBeltza Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Never buy dell! I've had the same Dell for almost three years now. It has survived many falls, having beer spilled on it twice, a Windows Vista upgrade, and it has traveled with me (often from home in Houston to school in Virginia, and last semester it traveled all the way to Slovakia with me). This thing keeps on truckin' and I can still run the games that I want it to run. Only recently have I had problems but, as long as I have Warhammer Online and FM, I will be perfectly happy.
