I'm interested in buying a laptop, but I know fuck all about them in terms of manufactures and components, so I need some advice on what a decent one should have.
I'm not looking for something high end, one that can run tf2 on decent settings will do just fine.

Ive just recently got a laptop a Dell Inspiron good piece of kit from dell

starting price £369 but can be customised to improve performance

Got Steam and tf2 installed on it and works a treat Smile

Not a whizz on spec but should have:
Dual Core
2-3gbof Ram
Geforce card (Geforce Go 8600gt)

Just to get started sure more computer whizzes will give better detail than me Roll

Thanks Raven. Though so far all the models I can afford have the Geforce 8400M GS, is there a big difference?
