And it's absolutely fantastic. So far I've played Rome:Total War and it an in super high with no issues at all and it looked lovely. Next on the agenda is installing Half Life 2 and seeing how well I can play it with a touchpad. Oh yes. I really need a USB mouse. After that I'm going to buy Battlefield 2 and whip all you cads into shape.

Anyway I got an Acer travelmate 8104WLMi, and it's absolutely superb. The widescreen is fantastic and Acer GridVista is a great tool for managing lots of windows at once. So I'm very happy indeed! Anyone looking for a great laptop I reccommend this. It was 1400 squids which is quite a lot but I reckon it's worth it.

They're just desperate to make suggestions for components. It gives them an excuse to be on OCUK.

I considered getting a desktop but it would be a big ole hassle to transport it between uni and home for holidays and the odd weekends and stuff. Also after Uni I may go travelling (or during Uni who knows), and a desktop wouldn't be much use then.

Although I do remember someone on here suggesting a desktop to someone saying they needed a laptop for a round the world trip.

I was meant to be moving abroad thats why I got one.

But I never... now my desk has more room. I win.

Oh and maybe you could something close to this if you built your own for £500 but I'm stupid so couldn't.

Yeah so I hate Steam. It decided to instal some files which fatally crash Windows 10 seconds into startup. Balls I say. So now I'm using my Recovery CDs to wipe the harddrive and get Valve and their stupid system off my computer forever (until I install HL2 again)

Oh now this is getting uncalled for.

You two are just jealous he can afford to get something comprable to your huge PCs in laptop form. :P
