My desktop pc is on its last legs and im looking to replace it with a laptop this time, just wondering how many of you use laptops to play Starters Orders? If you could give me a point in the right direction on getting a laptop that will be more then enough to do simple office tasking/web browsing as well as play Championship Manager and future versions of Starters Orders that would be a great help.

i have a touch screen laptop made by acer aspire bought 18months ago
really good laptop for a low price cost 500euro there was some laptops
with less specs at double that price

I was off work for over a year as most of you know and my laptop was on or being used for at least 8 hours a day and touch wood l have never had any problems at all.

Toshiba Satellite L670

Thanks guys, around £500 is my budget is that enough? i could go higher but dont want to pay massive amounts for no reason.

Any sort of specs you can give to me to go by would help, what sort of graphics card would you recommend looking at getting ?

How much did you pay for that mate can you remember?

£440 mate but that was 6 months ago so should be cheaper now pal

You will get a very good system for that Hackett.

I will take a look on Ebuyer for some around £500.

Most of these are very good as well for around £500. http://www.ebuyer.com/search?page=9&sto ... m&limit=10

Most onboard GC will be good nowadays. A i3 or i5 system with atleast 4gb RAM, also no less than 500gb hard drive space hope this helps.

I also have a toshiba Satelite works great but i miss my desktop next time around i'm getting a whole in one touch screen.

Have a Toshiba Satellite myself and had it for around 2yrs now, without any problems.

Wow, Thanks guys thats been a great help, if the Toshiba Satelite has been good for 3 of you on here then i think thats the way i will go.

On the second link Hemz has kindly posted it has the Toshiba satelite shown, have any of you got these models? or are these a slightly newer version? What one would you recommend between the three?

Screen size 15" enough?

i have 15.4 screen its perfect my mate has a 18inch screen way too big imo 15 is just right

Thanks 15 it is then!

Ok guys got 4 machines for you to view..

Pc World have access to discount, Tesco`s have access to there 10% discount and have a good few pounds in vouchers to use as well so probably leaning more on getting a laptop from there what do you think of them? could i do better for the money elsewhere and not worry about the discounts and these machines?

Graphics cards ok? Main thing im not sure on, how much do you need to play starters orders and football manager.
