make sure it’s Pentium M -based, and make sure the gfx solution is not embedded/integrated/shared but a miniPCI-type card which you can upgrade at some point (some Dells do offer that, I’m reasonably certain that the XPS range can be gfx-upgraded).[/quote:f010ecd2be]
Steph, i’ll definitely keep that in mind when i’m looking for a new laptop, i’m not actually after a purely gaming laptop, i’m after one i can develop on but also play the odd high spec game on too.
Thanks for all the advice everyone, i really appreciate it!
