rayzoredge 2 Report post Posted September 6, 2009 Lucky you! I've been in the market for a laptop for the longest time and settled with the idea of snagging a certain laptop, but financial concerns at the moment keep me from getting my grubby paws on it just yet. I'm not going to name it just because I'm hoping it's still available later for me to snag up a few months later when I get everything settled on my end and I can actually have money available to buy it.Looks like the ATI HD 3200 could be used for some moderate gaming... and believe me, since I play some games from time to time on my old HP zd8000 (which is mainly used by the fiancee now...) which has an aging ATI Mobility Radeon X600.With the 3GB upgrade, I'd say you have a damn good machine to do what you would want it to do, outside of heavy gaming or model rendering, of course. Have fun with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spudd 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2009 Nice laptop, congratulations! Did you build it yourself, (which I doubt, it being a laptop and all) or did you get it from a manufacturer? If it's the later, who's the manufacturer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder what the specs would be on your Free Laptop. Well if you in australia, probs get something bad, like some old Dual Core with only 1gb ram. Me personally I'd like power hogging in my system, 64bit system with graphics power for gaming, and other applications. Mabye an Alienware laptop all the power of their desktops in a small package. Hefty price tags though, around $5000. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
