Hey, Im looking for a notebook with almost all of the same characteristics I have been doing a bit of research and I have stumbled upon a Dell m1710, Check it out you might find it something.
P.s. I dunno if it plays Assasin's creed but I think it does

Thanks for taking the effort mate. I actually bought this Toshiba for £600 but am actually a bit pissed off because it only has half the vram, a faster processor and 1gb less RAM for only 100 £ more. Thanks anyway tho.

ASUS M50SV-A1. see my sig. Got it in the states for under $1300 (660 pounds). Probably one of the best 15.4" around next to the Dell XPS M1530.

I'm selling my E1705 for about $900 USD or ~450 pounds shipped.

Dell Inspiron E1705 Specifications:

CPU: Core 2 Duo T7200 @ 2.0 Ghz
RAM: 3GB DDR2 667Mhz
GPU: nVidia Geforce GO 7950 GTX 512MB GDDR3
HD: 120GB Western Digital Scorpio 5,400 RPM

Its lightly used and in PRISTINE condition!

I know the HD is a tad small but with the extra money you save you could easily upgrade it to the
size you want for much less than buying new.

im also selling practically a brand new dell inspiron e1705. and mine does play assasins creed. im only selling mine for 750$ usd tho.
