Was just browsing Ebuyer earlier, looking for a laptop and wanted to get some opinions.

My Budget around £500.

Uses: General Use (internet, skype, etc.), watching movies, light gaming (BF2, CS:S), nothing too serious really. Thats about it, just use Xbox360 for gaming now.
Will be taking to Uni, so will be my main PC.

Just generally looking for a good laptop for the £500 mark. If I can get away with spending less that would be great, but there seems to be some good systems in that £400-500 mark.

Found these laptops.

1. HP 6720s.

2. Asus X51RL.

3. Asus F5RL.

4. Samsung R60.

5. Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Mobile V5505.

That last one seems way better, but looks bad build quality, if you can even tell from photos. :S

Anyway, your opinions and suggestions, thanks.

maxwell.

To be honest, none of them.

You're going to want something with dedicated graphics for CSS or BF2. Most lower end notebooks with discrete graphics will have the 8400m GS which is sufficient for light gaming. You might be hard pressed to find one though. Look at the HP Pavilions, they should be within your price range.

What he said.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Samsung R60 is very good.

I used an R700 extensively. Very nice machine. Get that....

Pavillion DV6750ea

How about this then?

And yeah I liked the R60, Bertster. My friend has a R700, that has a 8400GS, but a 17inch screen, is that an equal choice to the Pavillion above? So maybe the R700 and Pavillion, or is the R60 still okay. I get the impression that I should steer clear of intergrated graphics, even though i wont be doing much gaming.

Thanks.
