| 1263076 | 2012-03-05 01:38:00 | Whats your idea of a decent video chipset? The best I have seen in NZ is the 560m, and that performance looks to be pretty damn crappy, and expensive. Have a look at what these guys sell http://www.powernotebooks.com/ I've been looking at a Sager with a 6990m chipset. and www.xoticpc.com |

| 1263078 | 2012-03-05 02:36:00 | ... what's the laptop going to be used for? | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1263079 | 2012-03-05 02:43:00 | Surfing, youtube, facebook (games) Guildwars 1 and possibly 2 Watching episodes of TV shows If it wasn't for the "real game" being played the specs could be a lot lower Oh and its not for me.... |

| 1263080 | 2012-03-05 02:59:00 | Total overkill then. You can do the first few on a single-core 1.6Ghz Atom with shared video memory. Try something like this for under half the budget: pbtech.co.nz You might be able to make a couple of bucks then by reselling it ;) |

I use the term laptop very loosely. |

| 1263083 | 2012-03-05 03:22:00 | www.playtech.co.nz That would fit the bill nicely, just throw in another 4GB RAM, the stuff is cheap as chips these days. www.ascent.co.nz |
