which laptop?

[sheila2155]

my 11 year old wants a laptop. she likes gaming and chatting on msn to her friends. so many laptops to choose from. anybody know which would be best for her?

Depends what sort of games. Most laptops have limited video capacities - fine for day-to-day use, internet browsing and the like but no good for high end games.

if you want to buy a new laptop which is good for the games ,
first check the requirements of the games and meet the requirements of the laptop.

gaming laptop depends upon you which type of games would you like to play on the laptop.

contact the computer shop and see the models of the laptop and choose one . which is good for you .

bu@@er the games
prime directive is set a budget

(what did she get for christmas / birthday ... cause if computers had been available when I was a lad ... it would have been one or the other ... or more likely both for that year!

a decent gaming laptop will cost �1200 - �1800
a decent laptop can be got for �350 - �400

a very decent gaming desktop will cost �500 - �600

a desktop has the added advantage of not being portable ... so she won't get mugged or drop it ... and if she spills pop (or at 11 is that a double expresso late with biscotti?)
on the keyboard a replacement will cost a few quid

think of a number - there are some decent deals at the mo
if still laptop - think dell, hp, or any of the other big names
(not PC world own brands)
different brands for a desktop
