Hey, I've never owned a laptop before and I'm thinking about getting one so I'd like opinions. My budget would be around 500-600 GBP as I will be purchasing a desktop some time soon but want a good laptop whilst I get the money. If you can think of a laptop in the budget that would be a better choice then I'd be glad if you show me.

This is the laptop I have looked at because of the good reviews: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

I am just wondering how good this laptop would be for browsing, listening to music, watching videos & films and gaming (COD, BF3, Minecraft, TF2).

Any feedback is appreciated.

Cod yes not sure about others, but it will lag so you might need to put on lowest settings

Right, I didn't expect to be able to play BF3 with it just put it in the list for the hell of it. If I do want to play graphics intensive games in the future I'd hopefully have the desktop I want for that, the laptop will just be for portability and casual gaming.

I honestly don't think laptops are any good, Unless your going to the 800+ Mark on them. I would recommend a standard midi desktop PC; More for your money. However, IF You really want a laptop, That is a good laptop, You can play some of the latest games on medium/low settings. Even better is to build your own computer, A good site is [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] - It's what I use, Good luck!

Why don't you save up for the PC, instead of buying a laptop and then having to earn more?
Im pretty sure any decent laptop would be able to run Minecraft & maybe TF2. Not too sure about BF3&CoD though. You may need to use low settings.
But yeah. Save for the PC ;)
