Maybe they only offer that on the Latitudes :shrug:

With a Mobility 4570 I wouldn't expect to play any recent games very well.

Yeah might be just the business ones :/ My old one was a Vostro and had that res available I think (certainly something similar).

Think it depends on your definition of very well, although that's always the way

Mine seems to run DiRT2 at medium spec well enough

Aye - Im not that fussed on "new" games. As long as I can play HL2 and maybe BF2 from time to time... That will do me

divine · 14-12-2009, 23:39

Those are about 4 years old so they should be fine

Ok, seems a lot of offers end tomorrow.

If I go for a lesser processor (Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor P7450 (2.13Ghz, 3MB, 1066MHz)) I can get it for £600 but I am limited to a HDD speed of 5400 rpm (500 Gig) and seemingly 4 Gig RAM at 800Mhz.

As an alternative, a studio 17 (bigger screen - but leser mobility and battery life?) can be had for about £660 with:
Pentium core 2 duo T6600 2.2GHz
640 Gig 7200 rpm HDD (or 500 gig 5400 for about £580)
4 Gig 1333 MHz RAM

OR do I got for the i7 processor and fast HDD and Ram for said price of £680.. ARGH...

Depends how much CPU horsepower you need. If you don't need the latest and greatest then lower spec might get you less weight and more battery. Or it might not.

Pickers · 15-12-2009, 22:27

Thats the problem. Unless I go 17", then dropping the processor also drops my options with HDD and memory clock speed. So, I dont know if its worth it :/

Pickers · 16-12-2009, 00:26

Well I've only gone and spent £680. Best get the desktop and old laptop sold in some fashion!!
