Hello,
I was wondering if the experts could cast their eye over this spec and see if there is anything they would change for a gaming spec laptop? I've got a spare £100 if there is really something massively worth upgrading or tinkering with. Also, does anyone know what the difference is between theKingston Sodimm and Hyper-X RAM? Cheers.
