Dell have a deal on a Studio 15 (the one on the far right of the "deals" page)
http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/feature...

What I want is:
4 GB Ram
500GB HDD (The Mrs music collection is growing fast!)
Graphics Card that'll cope "ok" with games.

Not looking for the worlds most impressive game graphics. Just good enough to actually play.

I'm way out of touch with graphics cards in laptops, so will that cope?

I would say you would need one of the ATI cards to have a chance of playing any 3d game.

ATI you say.

How about this?

Umm, unless I'm missing something here, the Dell laptop the OP seems to be referring to (far right on the linked-to page) does have ATI graphics...

Oh yes! I wasn't fully with it after looking at ~1000 different laptops last night and assumed The_Jackal was referring to the dell not just a general comment. smile

Apparently it's an ATI 4570 512MB renamed.

I can see an order going in at lunchtime for the dell unless someone slaps me around the face...
