    Hey, I was considering buying the samsung R580 for gaming with games like world of warcraft etc, and i was jsut wondering if this laptop would run it at medium to high settings with a reasonable fps. Or if there is better laptop for the price of £570 could you tell me

    Heres the specs
    Processor: Intel Core i3 Dual Core Processor 330M (2.13 GHz) with 3MB Cache
    Operating System: Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit
    Memory: 4 GB (2 GB + 2 GB) DDR3 1066 MHz
    Graphics: nVIDIA GeForce 310MGraphics Memory: 512 Mb GDDR3
    Hard Drive: 320 GB SATA 5400 rpm

    Hope you can help.

    The 310 is pretty weak. It's about 1/2 the performance of a 330M, which is medium performance.

    I'd look into the Acer 3820TG, something with a i3, i5, and a HD5650 / GT330M / GT325M / GT335M.

    Yeah it is fine, just don't try to run things like bad company 2. But MW2, fallout 3 the like run fine on mine.

    It may be weaker than that! I found that the 310M puts out 73 gigaflops while the 330M puts out 182 gigaflops!

    In any case, I'd go with the Alienware 11X...the new i line! You'll be happier!

    The R780 will run it easily and cost less than the R580.
