Hey Everyone :D
So I`ve had my Toshiba for 2 years now ,and am looking to buy a new laptop

Requriements:

Make - Toshiba/HP/Dell

300 - 750 GB memory

Have a look at the Dell Outlet right now - there are some XPS 15 laptops with Core i5 Sandy Bridge cpus for £400.
 
Graphics is no good for gaming.
 
i thought 1696MB was good ? what should i be looking for

Thank you :)
 
The quantity of graphics memory only starts to make a difference at very high resolutions or when lots of AA/AF is applied, at resolutions below 1080P, memory and GPU speed are far more important, and the card in that laptop is just an integrated solution using system RAM.

As already stated, have a look on the Dell outlet at the LX502's, they'll be far more proficient at gaming. :smashin:
