Hey, I'm looking for a laptop on a small (for a gaming notebook) budget that can play some of the newest games on decent settings. I also live in Australia, which doesn't help. Now I don't expect to be able to play Crysis on full settings but I want to be able to play some things.
I've worked out that I can get a Dell Inspiron 1520 pimped out to:
-Intel® CoreTM 2 Duo Processor T7300 (2GHz, 4MB L2 cache, 800MHz FSB)
-NVIDIA® GeForceTM Go 8600M GT with 256MB DDR2 dedicated graphic memory
-2GB RAM
For just over $1500 AU. Ok I know it might not sound good to you but it seems heaps better than anything else I've seen for that price.
Alternitively I can get an XPS M1530 with the same specs for about an extra hundred or a bit more. Would the XPS perform any better? Doesn't seem worth it for the extra money. I could probably even get another .2Ghz on the Inspiron for that.
So what do you guys think? Any other ideas/advice?
Thanks, I'm kind of new to the computer gaming scene.
