The PC (Personal Computer) is a highly configurable and upgradable gaming platform that, among home systems, sports the widest variety of control methods, largest library of games, and cutting edge graphics and sound capabilities.
I'd like to know which one you think is the better laptop and whether either of these would be capable of playing games at medium settings and being an overall desktop replacement.
Your going to want at least a nvidia 8600M GT to run any games well at medium settings. Go to Dells website, the UK site, and look at the XPS systems, the XPS M1530 laptop comes with a 8600 GT and starts around £649. I do recommend getting the higher res screen at 1440*900, but that basics on that starting model will be what you need + a good GPU.
This way you can customize your order rather then just buy a laptop already built. I have a dell inspiron 1520 with a 8600GT, I can tell you it will not run crysis on high settings, but medium it will with lower res, but its not really that great. Other games though like World of Warcraft or anything like that will run ok at high res and higher settings. I built a desktop gaming machine because of this, but I used that laptop for over a year before I wanted to play those games. But the good thing is it will run games and run them good, WoW gets around 40-60 fps. So hopefully that helps.
