Thanks for the replies! I'm going to go with the £399.99 laptop, it seems like a good one for what I want and it's within my budget. Thanks for all the help
is this laptop - TOSHIBA Satellite C870D-11X 17.3 a good laptop form playing the sims 3 on? just need it to run the game and maybe a few of the expansions, plus good for doing college work on?
