| 1379807 | 2014-07-21 06:43:00 | hey guys, Simple question. Which place has the cheapest ex lease gaming laptops. I am looking for a laptop that will run games like bf4 and thief with around 40fp, with decent ish graphics. Looking around the 800-1000 mark. Must include warranty please! If it isnt avaliavble ast this price, what is? Cheers. |

| 1379810 | 2014-07-21 09:48:00 | DeSade, I see that it is a alright laptop, but maybe a non u spec processor or gddr5 vram would be better? | darkoverlord123 (16996) | ||
| 1379811 | 2014-07-21 12:08:00 | An ultra low power CPU is going to be the least of your worries. Finding a laptop with a GPU capable of hitting 40fps in Bf4 is going to be your main problem. Granted that you're going to need less power to run something on a 1366x768 panel (I'm assuming you aren't even going to aim for anything better). Edit: It would appear that the 840m should be just good enough: www.notebookcheck.net Note that the benchmark would have been run in singleplayer and you should expect a significant performance drop off in multiplayer. |

| 1379812 | 2014-07-21 21:39:00 | You get what you pay for Overload and no one leases gaming machines. I brought that one because of the price point and the fact you can upgrade the ram. The GPU was just enough as was the CPU. |

| 1379813 | 2014-07-22 06:52:00 | Best you'll do is a 2nd hand one on TradeMe etc if you want something cheap. As the others already said, there is not really any such thing as an 'ex-lease gaming laptop' | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1379814 | 2014-07-22 08:54:00 | Hmm, fair enough, Thanks for your input everyone. Trademe would be best bet. Thanks anyway!!! | darkoverlord123 (16996) | ||
| 1379815 | 2014-07-22 21:46:00 | If there is a recent, good spec., ex lease laptop available cheap it is a safe bet it is a total dog. Good laptops tend to stay on lease for quite a while. Of course if it is shackled by W8, it could be a different story. Exorcise the OS and upgrade to vista and it might go much better. ;) | R2x1 (4628) | ||
