New laptop

Hi all

I am looking to get a new laptop after my current one has decided to slowly start packing up...

I'm not big on tech stuff, to be honest I have little idea of what's good etc. Can people post what I should be looking for or any good deals/laptops? Obviously it's going to be geared towards poker so I need something that's going to multi table easily with a large screen...

Cheers,
Nick.

    IF you have a big screen tv you can get a lead(VGA) a think
    and mirror image the comp screen on to it m8 .
    Then split into individual tables

    i got a Dell 4Gb, 17'' screen, camera, blah blah blah  for £350. Ive had no problems with it, i think they are only available on line, i got mine within 4 days of ordering, this was 6 months ago and 7 more of my family and friends now have one and none have had any problems, and everyone i speak to says they are a very good and reliable make (and no i dont work for them lool) i can get 6 tables whole on the screen.

    I concur!!!

    I have a Dell 17" i5core 3gb mem...zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    anyway - best £450 ever spent...Dell are notoriously expensive on upgrades though so make sure you get what you need at sale point!

    Plus, they have a Dell outlet (also acccesable via the website) which offers wrong orders/colours, return etc at apx 50% off....always worth a look imo :o)

    hi

    there is very little between all laptops really as long as you get the minimum spec.... one with 4GB memory, windows 7, largest screen possible (incidentally netbooks cut off part of the poker table) but do look at screen quality and set to highest resolution.  And even for a laptop get a wireless laser mouse.

    mty laptops are hp and packard bell.

    regards
