Well above is the build of the laptop I intend to get.... but I have a few final questions.

1) Is the build good for gaming (Guilds War 2...), more specifically is the graphics card good enough?
2) Is the graphics card a 192 bit... i actually don't know what that means but its suppose to be something good...
2) How much battery life can I expect when gaming/not gaming?
3) I have a 3D TV so am I correct in saying that I could connect it with the laptop and view 3D stuff on it?
4) Now I do mind the simple look of the laptop but I am wondering as to how much will it weigh? (yes i know it will be heavy as it is a gaming laptop but I am looking for a figure).
5) How long will it last me?

Thanks in advance for any answers :)

1. Absolutely - the GTX 560M will be great for gaming - it's one of the most powerful notebook GPUs on the market after the 580M, 485M and 6970M.

2a. Yes, the GTX 560M is 192 bit.

2b. This laptop is designed for gaming and high end use; therefore battery life is natuarlly lower than normal. Expect 2 - 2.5 hours max. For gaming I would recommend the laptop remains plugged in. We've not tested the laptop during gaming but I would guess less than 1 hour.

3. The laptop does not support 3D. We did have some models in stock but they are not due until late September/October. For 3D you will need 3D glasses, a 120Hz screen and a 3D emitter.

4. The laptop will weigh 3.9KG including 76.96WH Battery

5. As long as you make it last - there is no straightforward answer to this unfortunately.

For the full specification, please click on the "detailed specification" tab where you can see most of your asnwers and further details. :)

Great. In respect to the 3D question what i was actually wondering was whether i could use my 3D tv as the monitor and then stream games or whatever on it in 3D. I thought this was possible with all nvidia direct 11x graphics case.

That's not possible unfortunately. You would need a dual link DVI port for this to work and the laptop is only supplied with a single link DVI port.

What about a mini pc then? The cheapest one pcs offer is tiny for what it is, although dint think that holds a graphics card as it wouldn't have sufficient cooling
