Hey all, could use a little help.
I'm not much into the laptop scene at all, but an old friend of mine is currently shopping around looking for a new laptop. He wants to do some gaming with it (relatively new titles, but nothing cutting edge), but hes on a budget. 400-600 is where hes at, might be able to convince him to go to 650 maybe a TAD higher but thats stretching it. Desktops are out (long story, not getting into it here).
Whats my best option? Older Llano A6-A8? Try and find a dell deal or something with a 640m in it? Used is an option, saw a laptop on AT FS/FT with a 555m in it, might be a bit over his price range though.
I don't have to worry about tech support or anything like that, hes plenty good in that regard, just looking for some buying advice.
