All laptops are fine, until they break... Every laptop on the market has equal chance of breaking, as they all use the same parts from the major manufacturers. Doen't matter whos badge is stamped on it. Besides, I've never come accross any company, ever who has been easy to deal with, with...

Or for an extra £50 on top of the above, you could get the Aspire 5685 with the following spec: Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 - 2.00GHz (x2), 667MHz FSB, 4MB L2 Cache RAM: 2048MB DDR2 Hard Drive: 160GB Serial ATA 5400rpm Screen: 15.4" Widescreen TFT (1280x800 - 16:10)with...

This is how the electronics companies are ripping us off, because they know brand power is everything. Have you seen the state of Sony's range? Because they look good and are endorsed by Bond etc etc, they get away with abismal specs! All of their laptops are poor value for money, heck if this...

Why do people always see Acer as a poor quality brand? This is fact from experience two weeks ago... I purchased a Toshiba Satellite and took it back because it was flimsy, there was a gap around the screen, and don't get me started about the screen quality - washed out colours and a stuck...

Each to their own I guess. :) The Wii is a cool console, I predict that the novelty will wear off though once devs start running out of ideas/rehashing the same ones. The Wii isn't for everyone as some people don't like change. Anyhow, back on topic; 5680 is the series, 5685 is the...

I understand your point, although we're not talking about £1000, we're talking about £699, which is only £200 off the price of a top-range graphics card (when released) *waits with baited breath for R600*. What exactly do you have against the 360 anyway? :p Did yours break? Why would you...

I agree with your point, but half of the time, both you and I know that isn't the case... The simple hype surrounding many new component releases and the fact that you are a member of this community always keeps you itching to buy. The temptation is hard to resist and your credit card gets a...

I have the Acer Aspire 5685 - it's an amazing machine! Runs C&C3, Half Life 2 and PlanetSide at high settings without issue. Will probably run most things although these are what I've tried. It scores 7200 in 3DMark 03 as it has a DEDICATED GeForce 7600 /w 256MB. Very impressed with the...

Look at the Acer Aspire 5685 mate - just bought one after taking two Toshiba A100 451's back to the retailer for dead pixels. Acer 5685: Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz T7200 4MB Cache 2GB DDR II 667 160GB HDD 5400RPM 256MB DEDICATED GeForce 7600Go (ignore the spec sheet which claims it's shared, it's...

Thanks for the reply mate, sounds pretty good to me. :)

Well C&C 3 is just a tweaked version of the Sage engine that Generals uses, so here's hoping it's not that demanding.

Guys, Looking at buying a new laptop with a GeForce 7600 SE 256MB Go graphics chip in it... I'm not a big PC gamer, but was hoping to run PlanetSide and a bit of C&C 3 on this machine. I was wondering if anyone with a laptop with this chip in it could give me some feedback on how it...

Where did you order from, if you don't mind me asking... you'll have to post here once you've received it. Be interesting to see if they all suffer from the slight backlight bleed as above.

I'll have a look tomorrow, thanks. :) Well, I won't be using a upscaler DVD player, so I'd be relying on the upscaling capabilities of the TV itself. I'm using a Sony DAV 880 home theatre system that I've had for many years. As long as it is watch-able, I'm not expecting near HD quality or...

Seeing as you mentioned it, I know this screen will be spot on for HD feeds, but I really wanted to know what standard DVD's look like on the screen through Component (Progressive PAL and NTSC) as I have a large DVD collection.

That's brilliant mate, thanks for that! :)

Thanks mate, is there any chance of a pic on a completely black screen? I just need to see if it will be enough to put me off the set. Thanks!

That's a really helpful reply. :) Could I take the name of the mag that did the group test? Would like a read of that.

As in title, I'm not really sure of which of the two to go for... It is common knowledge that Samsung and Sony share the same LCD technology, so both panels should be quote similar - the only difference being the image processing technology that each company uses. Now, my uses for the set...

As per jellybeard999 - I would recommend Tagan, as they arrange a courier to collect the faulty PSU and deliver a new one. Took 2 days for everything to be sorted when I had to RMA my Tagan 480w. I would have no problem whatsoever buying another Tagan PSU. Quality of them is brilliant also -...
