I'm going to get a laptop for £600.
It needs to be from a retail store in the UK.
Would like a decent graphics card.
I will watch quite alot of films and will need to plug it into my TV with HDMI.
Want about 3gb ram
Around 320gb HDS
Will need bluetooth

so, any ideas?

Dont really want to do any modifications really.

what netbook has a gpu, let alone a good one?

as for laptop recommendations... i've been looking at micro anvika and it seems most laptops at that range will come with intel gma hd. it's not a bad gpu (it's the one built into core i3 and core i5 cpus) but it's not great either. at least it'll be able to play back hd movies and some mid-level games. as for a laptop with the hd5470 you mentioned, there's the hp pavilion dv6-3046. £599, turion ii 2.6ghz cpu, hd5470 gpu, 4gb ram, 500gb hdd, and bluetooth. amd cpus aren't the best for gaming, but they're good enough and they'll keep the costs down (most gaming is done on the gpu anyway). edit: link added.

just beware of the bloatware:
software included - recovery partition (including possibility to recover system, applications and drivers separately), optional re-allocation of recovery partition, recovery cd/dvd creation tool, symantec™ norton internet security™ 2010 (60 days live update), notebook help & support
hp mediasmart suite, hp quickweb, hp setup, hp advisor, hp support assistant, hp protectsmart, omnifone musicstation, cyberlink dvd suite
windows live™ applications
hp games console with hours of free game play, easybits magic desktop, norton online backup (30-day trial)
microsoft® internet explorer, windows® live messenger, adobe® reader, adobe® flash player
microsoft® works and microsoft® office home and student 2007 60-day trial version

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
    for people with beefy hands.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
