    Hello...

    I'm looking to buy a new laptop in the next few weeks.

    I'll be using it mostly for software programs like photoshop and Premier Pro and also for games like Football Manager etc.

    But I only have about 700-800 euros to spend....

    Any advise would be great!

    Thanks in advance...

    I don't think Football Manager requires a high end graphics card so I don't think its an issue but I'm not sure about Premier Pro. Have you had a peek at Dell's range of laptops?

    It looks like from the system requirements that you need a good amount of memory about 1-2gb. A decent sized hard drive for digital video and high definition video I would imagine. Maybe someone with Premier Pro would have a better idea. Are you running Premier Pro on your current system? If so give us your system details.

    With my old system for which I dont have the specifics was good enough but I couldnt run Premier Pro on it, it was an Acer Laptop that I got over 3 years ago,

    I not a professional or anything so I just need to be pointed in the right direction as to specifics, Any recommedations as to a specific Laptop would be great,

    Thanks Again:) :)

    If a mod does not move your thread then do try http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=529

    It a laptop/notebook centric forum. To rip off Lost :)

    A decent amount of RAM is what you need by the way. 1GIG minimum. Stay away from Celeron too. I'd also suggest a lap top with non intel GFX. Alot of the ATI and nvidia are not high end game worthy (hypermemswap/turbocache) but would sufice for Adobe CS 2 etc.
