Laptop out of warranty too :(

Khama if you are there. Do you know much about laptops? This one did me well in regards to games, considering another if the price is right, obviously I'd sacrifice streaming for the functionality

Same budget

Don't know too much about laptops as for gaming they're too limited in my eyes. I'd look towards the Haswell ones with say the Core i5 4300M in them. What kind of sized screen are you after? Is it gaming orientated, or an ultrabook?

Ok then, now I just gotta man up and decide on which build. Honestly it's going through my head now to not bother, 900 for a laptop last year another 850 this year, could just buy a ps4 :(

I'll think it over and see whet I come out

The more I look into it the more a laptop doesn't fill my needs, not for the price I can spen anyway. But a desktop is so impractical given how used I am to a laptop. Bit fucked either way really.

Priorities are gaming/ speed/noise reduction

This maybe of use but this is my old rig which is in storage, pretty much all of it is there if anything can be used for

If that all still works you'd be able to play FIFA with it fairly easily if you want to avoid spending money. The only bits from it that I would re-use are the DVD drive, HDD and mayb the GPU if your not keen on spending big.

I forget which parts failed but there was a reason I ditched it. Only things in sure work are DVD psu case and memory. Is the case of no use with any of the builds you quoted?

DVD drive is all I'd use then. That PSU isn't great and is long in the tooth, bad combo. RAM isn't compatible and that case is... basic and won't be very quiet.

You guys have no idea how sad I was when it happened :( I was doing the new stat pictures in gimp when it turned itself off. I'm in a quandry about which way to go, just spoke with my brother who thinks I should get another laptop, but a cheap one. He made some good points inn that I will be moving around some in the future and will need the mobility, I'm used to taking this one wherever I go. Though if I do get a new one it will be at least moderately priced so I can game on it. While a desktop sounds nice and fits some of my needs a laptop makes too much sense with my lifestyle, if I had the money freely to do both I would and while I do tecnnically have the money I'm saving up to do important things in the future.

And worse the longer I take to maker the decision the longer I have to wait to play FIFA :(

I'm gonna spend today seeing How the laptop market is, maybe there is a good deal I can get, any suggestions are ,welcome.

Got my key and for some reason Origin won't redeem it. I don't think it's cause it is a Brazilian key cause it only says an "an error has occurred" and my FUT pre order code worked :(

It seems the game doesn´t stay unlocked. You need to run it through the VPN each time you start the game.

I suspected it might need that. I commented on it to Wooden when I saw him on Origin.

Can you load up Origin using the VPN, boot the game and then dc from the vpn whilst already in the game?

What did you get Cola?
Click to expand...
I caved and got the cheaper Inspiron 15, with vouchers came to about 570 and it is an upgrade to my old one. In the end I knew dell would deliver and I could get the extended warranty. Thanks for your hard work though, I genuinely appreciate it.
