Laptop advice.

[bigandy]

looking to purchase a new laptop. found this on argos.

http://www.argos.co.uk/product/68173...PUBOOT:6817369

is this ok for playing football manager.

or is there a better laptop out there for around £500

Does it have to be a laptop?
The R5 series are **** poor and only good for what laptops are really intended for.
Business use.

Is it essential that your **** is portable? Or could you buy a proper PC?

If you want a much better lap top than that argos one?
Go here.

Check the one I linked for you in my reply.

Intel i3 6100u*
1920 x 1080 Full HD
128GB SSD (super fast boot up and load times. No moving parts, saves battery power)
GeForce GT 940M (Check youtube for in game footage using this card)

Compare it to the Argos one.

AMD a10-9600p*
1366 x 768 (that is atrocious)
1TB HDD (I guarantee it's a **** poor 5200rpm drive that will bug the **** out of you).
r5 graphics card (It has a cheek calling itself a graphics card).


*In terms of overall gaming performance, the Intel Core i3-6100U 2.3GHz is noticeably better than the APU A10-8700P Quad-Core when it comes to running the latest games. This also means it will be less likely to bottleneck more powerful GPUs, allowing them to achieve more of their gaming performance potential.

SSD vs HDD
