Gaming is about graphics power\CPU\RAM, with a good graphic card you can get away with lower spec'd cpu and RAM, but it doesnt work the other way unfortunately!. |

I intend spending up to $1800... You can't buy a gaming laptop for $1800. Alienware make some, they are www.alienware.co.nz Seriously expensive. There is also the ASUS C90 www.asus.com if you can find one here. However its a lot lamer. You're better off getting him a desktop for gaming. "Most shops " you went into wouldn't have been toaster shops would they? Like Noel Leemings, Harvey Norman etc. Because they wouldn't know a gaming PC if they fell over one. |

| 652489 | 2008-03-25 09:50:00 | I'd for a Dell or HP based on your price. But the gaming aspect and your budget will unfortunately not match at all. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 652490 | 2008-03-26 03:08:00 | And whatever you do SEARCH AROUND! Things like pricespy are invaluable. Just make sure you're getting a good deal before you splash out. | Thebananamonkey (7741) | ||
| 652491 | 2008-03-26 06:04:00 | May I ask what is wrong with the Asus A6000? What about keeping it for the household stuff, perhaps using its restore disk/partition to start afresh, and spending $1800 on a gaming computer, or console? :2cents: |
