rlBest place to askrl
I'll have a look at the minimum spec if it's on the website and see what I can suggest mind.
(consoles = games, btw)
gaming laptop for £400 isn't going to get you much mate

That's the [iminimum[/i mate, try running it on 512MB and see how you get on (in fact, try buying anything below 2GB memory and you'll be struggling, Windows 7 needs 1.7GB to even run,) and you wont buy a DVD drive below 12 speed nowadays.
What else do you need the laptop for, that's probably more important.
for £400 you'll get something adequate, and remember, above 3.6GB you need a 64 bit O/S (which the games are not, as yet, built for)

rlHave a lookrl
Depends when you want to buy it mate, personally I always go down the PC World route, somewhere to get angry and shouty if it doesn't work.
You're looking at a 3GB laptop, whatever processor (not a lot to chose between them for what you are after), many people spend way more on a laptop than they need, a "reccommended" games laptop comes in over £1000  |

I have an Acer Aspire 7540,
AMD ATHLON 2 x2 processor running 64 bit windows 7, 4gb ram, 320gb HD, 17.3" HD Screen, ATi Radeon HD 4200 Graphics.
Cost me £400, including extended warranty, ran FM2010 like a dream but as Standee says, if you want games buy an Xbox or PS3 as a good gaming laptop will cost you over £1,000.

If it's an integrated graphics card it will be usless really. It has to be a specific graphics card. You should get one for that price but you might have to sacrifice other stuff. Some good deals to be had at places like Tesco too, worth looking at.

reports suggest the 9800 could be the fastest card on the market atm but no notable new technology. and a bit pricey. your best on reading reviews on the card you want but make sure the laptop spec can handle it.
