So I'm looking to buy a laptop but I don't really want to spend more than £500. I would like it to be able to play some games but i'm obviously aware that it wont be able to run the latest games well.

Does this laptop look any good?

What kind of games would it be able to run and how well?

All help is really appreciated.

Haha I recommended that PC to another user on here.

Obviously it won't run any demanding games, so we're talking pretty basic things like the Sims 2, maybe some Flight Simulator games from a few years back. And probably not maxed out, on reasonably high settings though (just a totally rough estimate)

But as a laptop its really good, big screen, decent RAM, and most importantly a Blu Ray player. Definetly worth it for the price IMO.

Yeah, the Blu Ray player was what really attracted me to it. Would this one be better for running games though out of curiosity? http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.204-7131.aspx

I probably will to be honest. Any other opinions would really be appreciated though.
