Have you ever owned a 17" laptop before?

Haven't owned 1, but used to borrow the brother in laws all the time, I like big screens.

OK, just wondered because they aren't exactly lightweight and compact

Nah i know lol, main reason for getting 1 is i work 13 hour shifts, sometimes 8 hour shifts, and there is nothing to do but watch Tele. So want 1 that i can use the internet on and buy decent games to play on.

Define 'decent' games, £400 is not going to buy you a gaming laptop.

I dont want a gaming laptop. Just the odd game now and again. The 1 I posted has good enough graphics and decent memory. Doesn't have to be perfectly smooth, but at least id be able to play them.

Play what? That mobility radeon (onboard) is about on par with Intel HD graphics... Which are NOT for games at all. Yes you will be able to play some older titles. But again, it depends on what exactly?

Haven't thought about which games exactly, just know that eventually I will invest in 1 or 2 to keep me awake at work
