Hello,

I am a girl, searching for a laptop. I study bioinformatics, like programming and biological research.

I need a laptop, which I can use for my study.

I like it when I can game on it, (something like MOH:AA, a game from EA games)

Now I saw this laptop:

Cost € 819.90
Model Aspire 3003WLMi
Processor 1.8 GHz
operating system Windows XP Home
screen 15.4 "
Memory 512 MB
Hard disk 60 GB
CD/DVD DVD-Dual Double Layer
VGA SiS M760GX integrated 3D AGP
Sound 2 build in boxes
Modem 56 Kbps
LAN 10/100 Mbps
WLAN yes
Battery Li-Ion
measurement (wxhxt) 364 x 33.9/38.9 x 279 mm​

Is this a good one for me? Or do I have to search further?

Thank you,
Phoenix

This is a pretty good laptop, if u aren't using for extreme gaming
But of course, if u can afford, add around $200 u can get a TravelMate 4100, which is better than 3003WLMi.

Thank you,
Ehm, not extreme gaming, what is extreme gaming? I have a desktop which I normally use for gaming. But it would be nice if I can shoot some people while I am studying, Not for hours after hours if you understand me :)
Is that possible with that videocard?

It is not necessary to game with it, but it would be nice if I could sometimes :)
