Intel vs. AMD

The X800 would be alright, if you can install it. Avoid the X300 though.

 

ok.thanks for the info.im trying to persuade my mum to let me buy this instead of the hp.

i can get this for £899.99.pretty good eh and a much better gc

give me your thoughts on it.i think the cpu is better than the amd in the hp.

edit - another quetsion.u know on full details how it says it has a dedicated gc does that mean i could get that card in a pc.cause if u look on the back on graw it says laptop versions of these chipsets are not supported cause i was thinking they were only meaning that for shared grpahics.

 

No laptop versions of full graphics cards are also unsupported by many games. The CPU in that laptop is no better than the AMD really, and while the graphics are OK, gaming performance will still be pretty mediocre.

 

my cousin has a 1.66ghz dual core.i dont think you know the true power of it.it can play doom 3,talk to me on skype,run and download on azureus,burn a dvd,have music playing in wimp,have aol running and etxract a iso with winrar all at the same time.

 

Dual cores are good indeed, but it really depends how much you use multitasking!

 

The dual core is great indeed. But with that video card you won't be seeing very good game performance. I could have a 3000.00GHz dual core but it won't game worth crap without a good graphics card. A good processor won't matter in any system without adequate video power.

 

who said it could ?

What if he dosent want to play games,there are other uses for pc's aswell pc were never designed for games

 

Yeah dazila has a good point, and the case example given didn't seem to mention gaming if I recall correctly, but it just depends how much of that multitasking he'll ACTUALLY use.

 

ill be multi tasking a little bit.i dont see what is wrong with that gc.ill only be playing a few pc games anyway with the most demanding graphics wise game maybe being doom 3 and gta san andreas.the rest are all old games such as mgs2 substance,house of the dead 3,final fantasy 7 and 8 and metal gear solid.

 

am i dreaming or has this acer laptop better than that sony(graphics and processing wise)

wow man that is one cool laptop, 2048mb ram,duo 1.63 ghz 512mb graphics not the best 512mb but should do far more then the games u were saying,if i was looking for a laptop i would go 4 it seriously but idnt need one my old celeron 500mhz 4gb,192mb,8mb graphics ram supports all that i need to do on it which is about nothing besides word if i need something high i use one of my 3 pc's

 

no pc has been as relaible as my old pentium 1 of 1996 that computer is still in working order and in the garage without a single reapair

 

ok thanks for the info dazila

 

also i need to know if it will play mgs2 substance and if that 512mb gc is a 3d accelerator card(what mgs2 asks for)

 

He_Man,

The big problem with Acer has always been quality, or rather lack of! I do a lot of computer repairs and upgrades and I see more E-Machines and Acers than all the others put together!

Happy Computering,

ok i get your drift.im sure acer will replace it if something does go wrong.here is the last acer i would get if i was getting an acer.its between 2.this one and the last one i posted.

That is dirt cheap for that laptop, but you'll have to put up with a rubbish screen and soso build quality. Do you want a laptop like that for £800? a Centrino Core Duo 1666 and 2GB of RAM and such a big hard disk is amazing, and although X1400 graphics aren't gaming graphics they're not bad in such a cheap laptop. However, I would still disrecommend gaming on an X1400. That ferrari's graphics card is mildly better.

 

ok.i cna find good cpu's in laptops but not good graphics.If anybody here could send me the link to a laptop priced £800-£1000 that has a brilliant cpu and a great gc(by your standards that would be great)

thanks in advance

 

here is a better gc card in this hp and at a great price

That one's not bad but truth is, since laptops are all premade and never custom built (for a reasonable price) there isnt one at that price range with graphics any better than that one Heman posted.
