Hi, looking for a new laptop, have a year old desktop i put together for games like skyrim, arma 3, fallout, rome 2 etc but am looking to get a laptop as well as i have kids and can rarely get away to do work or play etc.
I am basically looking for something that will last and keep working at a high standard, i have had bad experiences with laptops i have owned in the past so needs to work well. Looking for best value/spec for by needs.
Will need to play games like football manager, sim city, crusander kings, civ, indie games, but maybe a bit more (not fps or anything like that, basically games that you dont need reactions or to look at screen constantly). Will also play videos, internet, work and things like sketch-up/cad programs (nothing special) and looking at plans.
1. What is your budget?
around £400-600 (put can go up or down a bit depending on best product). Thats probably about $800 but prices are more expensive in UK
2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering?
large, dont need portabilty that much 15-16 inch minimum
3. What screen resolution do you want?
as high as i can get
4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop?
alongside desktop, living room pc basically that i can take to meetings
5. How much battery life do you need?
again not essential but as much as i can get
6. Do you want to play games with your laptop? If so then please list the games that you want to with the settings that you want for these games. (Low,Medium or High)?
Will need to play games like football manager, sim city, crusander kings, civ, indie games, but maybe a bit more (not fps or anything like that, basically games that you dont need reactions or to look at screen constantly). I happy to play games on lower settings, but dont want slow gaming.
7. What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo/Video editing, Etc.)
Will also play videos, internet, work and things like sketch-up/cad programs (nothing special) and looking at house plans.
8. How much storage (Hard Drive capacity) do you need?
dont need much as i have 3 hard drives on my desktop (ssd, internal hdd and external), would love to have SSD as i am used to it, but may be out of my range
9. If you are considering specific sites to buy from, please post their links.
amazon.co.uk, ebuyer.co.uk or any UK site really
10. How long do you want to keep your laptop?
4-5 years maybe
11. What kind of Optical drive do you need? DVD ROM/Writer,Bluray ROM/Writer,Etc ?
would like a dvd drive
12. Please tell us about the brands that you prefer to buy from them and the brands that you don't like and explain the reasons.
have no grudges, would like a quality product with good reliability, probably windows (although i have an iphone)
13. What country do you live in?
UK
14. Please tell us any additional information if needed.
Basically would like to know if it is worth paying more for a dedicated graphics or getting good proccessor spec. Had a look at Lenovo G510 i7 and thought it was good
