| 1252554 | 2012-01-06 03:49:00 | I'm buying a new laptop and I want one that will meet all my requirements as well as being fairly inexpensive . These are the things that are absolute musts for me: 500 GB hard drive 4 GB RAM Fairly good graphics (Enough to play games like The Sims 3 and Age of Empires without any glitches) . . . and the price I'm going for would be under $800 NZD, not sure if this is possible for these requirements though . Thank you :) |

| 1252555 | 2012-01-06 06:20:00 | Pretty sure they put out an HP at Warehouse Stationery that will meet your requirements - there or JB Hi-fo should keep you under $800 and if you look around I've seen laptops for $699 that would score over five on the Windows Index score. Use Pricespy - gives you the prices, specs and the price history without leaving home. | Twelvevolts (5457) | ||

| 1252557 | 2012-01-07 22:34:00 | I know AOE3 runs on basically anything, sims 3 only needs a 128mb graphics card with 2.0 pixel shaders and can run on a Intel HD 3000 graphics "card". I hate to recommend HP but this should see you fine: einfo.co.nz or this: www.extremepc.co.nz | icow (15313) | ||

I hate to recommend HP but this should see you fine: einfo.co.nz or this: www.extremepc.co.nz Except they both only have 2GB Ram and the OP requested 4GB...not much around that price range with 4GB so the OP will have to up the budget a bit or make do with slim pickings. |
