Dell corrected the error but honored the sale but now have now put it on special offer price reduction of £150 off so you can now pick it up for £640 for a few days then it goes back up to £800.

Crysis 2 on this spec but resolution is higher in the video than what i can support so I should get increased fps slightly.

Jammy *******

Yeah man, i'm beaming tbh. I bought an Amilo PA 3553 around 2 years ago and after a few months it started overheating and wouldn't turn back on. Fixed it last week but it happened again so I thought I'll wait patiently and buy a new laptop. I wanted one for the past 4 weeks. I kept checking around and decided to get an I3 which had no dedicated gfx card and crap ram for 350, this came up... I was shocked.

why didn't you alert the rest of us

we could of took them to the cleaners.

 

[MentaL]

The offer was only there for a short while, about 20-30mins at best.

Very nice spec laptop for the money. Those newer generation core i series are mighty performers. You might be able to squeeze a bit more from the GPU through overclocking but not the CPU. I wish my laptop was that sort of spec but I need the full number pad that's on mine and I love my SSD :P

 

[MentaL]

i could switch up the HD to SSD but really I dont see no reason too. What would you recommend clocking the gpu with? does ati come with any tools? I'm an nvidia fan boy.

 

[Senture]

Depends on what you value really. I don't have a lot that I keep on my laptop, but I love having very fast boot up and loading times. Not entirely sure about the GPU overclocking. You may have the option to enable "Overdrive" (overclocking) in the advanced section of Catalyst Control Centre

price gone back up to 860 on laptop now.

 

[Senture]

Ouch. Now there's UK inflation at work right there ^^

 

[MentaL]

Sorry I was wrong, that was for the "custom" build , using the prebuild is 640

crysis 1 is more demanding than 2

 

[MentaL]
