Hello
it seems this is the right place to post this
So, as the title says, I am thinking of getting a new laptop. Mine (a Dell Studio 1745) is not that old (around 3 years and a half, which I think is the expiration date of many commercial laptops!) but it has some quirks here and there that start to become a real nuisance. Thus, I'm looking around for a substitute and it seems to me that pcspecialist is a good option!
However I'm in doubt about the good configuration...
For my home computer I would like to get again a 17" screen laptop - I don't care too much about portability (but at the same time I don't want a desktop because I find it too cumbersome). I use it mainly for two things: watching stuff (hence the 17" dimensions) and playing games. No serious work on my home pc!
I don't play computational- or graphically-consuming games; no first-person shootings or such, I'm more into strategy (no real-time) games as Civ V, the various Paradox series, etc. However I do play RPGs as Skyrim or the Witcher, but even in Skyrim's case I was able to play it with my current computer without being horrified by the lack of extrahigh resolution details.
By the way, my computer has an old Intel Core Duo P7450 CPU, with 4Gb ram and a Mobility Radeon HD 4650.
So I don't think I need a state-of-the-art configuration, but I still would like something that is able to last for some time.
This is reflected by my budget considering I'd like to spend maximum 700 pounds (around 650 if possible).
So if you have any configuration suggestions please throw your opinion in, please!
