Hey, I’m looking for a new laptop I’ll be travelling a lot for work so can’t buy a desktop like normal but want to use office and play dvds and games. These are the ones I’m looking at and want your input of which to buy if any or any other laptops you’d recomend. I want to spend as little as possible (no more than £1000) but be able to play games such as Empire Total War, sims 3, mordern warfare 2, half life episode 3 (whenever it finally gets made…) etc… the laptops I’m looking at seem good and have better spec than what they sell at pcworld for the same price but I’m not up on theses things so they could still be rubbish. your help is most appriciated.

Okay, so I’m thinking of selling my Xbox 360, as I’m in need of money right now, and maybe, if it sells for enough, I’ll pick up the $199 4GB or $299 250GB…if it sells for enough. Anyway, here are the specs.
-250GB Limited Edition Modern Warfare 2 Xbox 360 Console
-Three wireless controllers (2 black, 1 white)
-Two wireless headsets (white)
-Wireless G Network Adapter
-HDMI Cable
-HD VGA Cable
-Ethernet Cable
I think that’s as far as it goes for accessories. As for the games, these are all GoD games I have downloaded and they are stored on the hard drive.
-Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts
-Batman: Arkham Asylum
-Dead Rising
-Fable 2
-Halo Wars
-Mirror’s Edge
-NFS Most Wanted
-Rainbow Six Vegas 2
-Red Faction Guerrilla
-Saints Row 2
-Sonic Unleashed
-SW Snowboarding
-Test Drive Unlimited
-Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
And below, are SOME arcade games, though there are many more on the console.
-Call of Duty Classic
-Castlevania: Harmony of Despair
-Dead Rising 2: Case Zero
-Earthworm Jim HD
-DeathSpank
-Shank
-Snoopy Flying Ace
-Serious Sam HD
-Shadow Complex
-Scott Pilgrim VS The World
-N+
-Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light
-Hydro Thunder
-Limbo
-Monday Night Combat
-Magic The Gathering
-Marvel VS Capcom 2
And some of the DLCs I have…
-MW2 Map Pack 1 and Map Pack 2
-WaW Map Pack 1, 2, and 3
-Borderlands DLC (Zombie Island, Mad Moxxi, General Knoxx)
-Fallout 3 DLC (Broken Steel, Point Lookout, Mothership Zeta, Operation: Anchorage, and The Pitt)
-GTA IV DLC (The Lost and The Damned, and The Ballad of Gay Tony)
-Magic: The Gathering DLC (Pack 1, and Pack 2)
-Rock Band DLC (Probably 75-100 songs, not exactly sure)
-Lips DLC (20-30 songs I think)
And many, many more DLC’s. I have DLC’s for most of the games on the Xbox, as well as games I have played before. Too many to list really…
Also, I have some TV Shows downloaded…I think maybe 6-7 episodes of South Park, an episode or two of Family Guy, a couple episodes of Fringe, all of Season 6 for Girls Next Door, a couple How I Met Your Mother episodes…probably 5-6 music videos. Robot Chicken Star Wars Episode…and a few other things. All of them are also in HD when they were available, which all of those were except How I Met Your Mother and Robot Chicken I think.
So, what do you think this could potentially sell for? I would like to get at least $500 after all eBay/Paypal fee’s, and shipping costs. Or if I sell it separately from eBay. So…do you think I could get at least $500 for it?
Thanks for any help!!
