I’ve decided it’s time to upgrade our laptops.
My current one is doing a pretty good job of things, but the better half’s one is just appalling! I mean, for a general day to day laptop its ok, but for any gaming it’s horrendous. Clearly we’re only playing a little World of Warcraft at the moment, but i don’t know how she can cope with it been so choppy. I think I’d feel sick!
After weeks of searching around for laptops that aren’t the top gaming spec, but decent enough to see us through for a bit, I’ve found the one that seems to fit the bill. I’ve landed on the ASUS G50VT-X1 as a good gaming work horse for the financially practical. I’ve sent a query of to ASUS to see if I can retrofit a blu-ray drive to one seeing as they have HDMI and we’re contemplating a new TV.

There’s a decent review here
WOOT! It looks like it can be upgraded with a blu-ray player. The ASUS store has it for the princely sum of $225 (about £150). …kinda leads me to think I’d be better of just buying an external player unless I can pick up a cheeky bargain somewhere.
