I'm looking to replace my current, aging laptop with something a bit more modern (I hear you have things called batteries nowadays which are smaller than the little steam engine that drives my current laptop).
It's mainly going to be for work...coding, web design, running PuTTY and email and web stuff, but I'd like to be able to play a few games every now and again too;
1) Football Manager 2010
2) DAOC (yay!)
3) Half-Life 2
Just for some light relief. I'm wondering if anyone with some experience of laptop-gaming could give some pointers on what to look for. Ideally I don't want to spend much more than £600 (which is about...erm...600 euros!!) and I don't want to play Crysis or some other eye-candy horror on it. I've got a PS3 for that kind of stuff.
Best one I've seen (I think!) so far is this one;
Acer 5739G with GeForce 240M Graphics
Which has got a pretty decent GFX card and an okay CPU for not that much money, really.
Any advice will be gratefully received!!
