Hiya, I bought a desktop from pc spec few months ago and its great and no problems so far. However I find my self in the need a a laptop that I can use when I visit family and such for long periods of time. So I'm looking for someone to give me a nice spec laptop that I can order. I will not be using it that often as I already have a work laptop and desktop at home, so I don't really want to spend loads on it. I need it to be able to play this game on high settings http://grandfantasia.aeriagames.com/overview/sysreq (system requirements) and I dont really have a budget anything is fine, but like I said I dont really want to spend loads on it. So what I'll be using it for:

-Playing the above game
-Playing a 3rd person shooter from the same company, system requirements aren't much more advanced than ones needed for above one
-Travling so do not need lots of harddrive.
-Will be using it for multi tasking like skyping, gaming, youtube, listening to music all at the same time sort of thing.

Thank you in advance! :winkiss:

Likr I said I don't really have a budget I can pay anything but like I said I don't really want to spend too much as I will not use it much but I guess around 600-700 would be satisfying, cheaper would be acceptable too :p
