Probably loaded up with a load of free programs

Depends what he wants to do with it really?

 

[bragor]

He wants it for Gaming

 

[Rakk]

Well the graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce GT 610M, which is part of the new 600 range, however it is the bottom of the 600 range and therefore I suspect wont cope particularly well for gaming at a decent level (though note I don't actually know how well the GPU will perform, I'm just making an educated guess)

 

[bragor]

Well, for the price could he get better on this website? And get better hardware?
And will that laptop be good for high end gaming etc, HD stuff

Without doing a direct comparison its hard to tell, but I cannot think of a single occasion where I have thought...

"I want a great deal on high end electrical goods. Right, off to John Lewis!"

 

[Corfate]

Well, im no expert on laptops, far from it. But i can see that on PCS you can get a much better screen, 1920 x 1080 rather than the 1366 x 768 on the link

 

[bragor]

Right guys, if i had a budget of 700 (for him) could u guys make me a spec for a desktop?

 

[Jiyuu]

Why are they advertising it as 2.5ghz?

 

[bragor]

What do you mean?

 

[Jiyuu]

It has the same processor as my laptop i7-2670QM which is 2.2ghz.

 

[bragor]

Why would they lie? :O

 

[Rakk]

Why would they lie? :O

A mistake at a rough guess,

 

[bragor]

So end of the day i could get a much better deal here for my friend? I've brought from here before and he wont listen to me.
