Thats a fairly good computer :D

Payment methods are either by Paypal or Cheque. The system is built and sent off by courier.

Sorry for bumping this topic.

I was just thinking - if by any chance I could persuade my dad to buy this Notebook:

http://www1.euro.del...en&s=dhs&~ck=mn

Would it be worthwhile doing? Does it have good enough specs for FS2004, Photoshop and the upcoming FSX - along with many other programs?

Any help appreciated,

Cheers,

--Ben.

Quite simply it is an amazing laptop. if you are spending that much on a gaming system, I would certainly look into desktops though. The laptop is pretty bulky, and is by no means a very portable system. The power does come at a price :D

It features the intel core duo processor which is dual core, and competes with desktop gaming cpu's very well. The GeForce go 7900 performs a tad faster than a desktop 7800GT. Its a very fast mobile chip.

Do keep in mind that the laptop won't be very upgradable like a desktop, its battery life would be pretty poor and with such a high system specification in a cramped chassis it will be pretty noisy too. If I recall it has 4 60mm fans on the underside of it.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the info.

The noise can get very tedious, I know.

When you say "bulky" do you mean heavy or large?

Are there any computers you know of that are around that price (perhaps slightly cheaper) that comes with Flat Panel Monitor, Speakers, Keyboard and Mouse?

Cheers mate,

The notebook is very thick and pretty heavy too.

Mesh and Evesham are other alternatives.

From Mesh at £1199

Do you like your computer? How does it run? Have you had any issues with it?

I think it looks cool, but what do you think of it over all?

Thanks,

Not neccessarily (sp?), but I am going to try - as it's pretty obvious that you can't get a decent comp for that money.

thats not mine. I built mine myself, but to answer your questions, mine runs great and had no issues.

The mesh is a good system. It'll be built to a high standard and performs well.
