Hey there, basically, I need some advice on what type of laptop to buy. I am a student, and I have a few requirements that my laptop must have (I'm not really good at computer hardware). Anyways, the requirements are below:
1. Well the main thing, it must cost below 500 Euros. And if you will be so kind as to give me links to online shops, keep in mind that I am from Ireland.
2. I often use software such as photoshop, fireworks, indesign, and other RAM-taking programmes, so I'd say that 2GB of RAM is minimum for my laptop.
3. I want a good speed out of my system, so I need at least 2.2 GHz.. Yeah, I'm just wondering, is that the thing that determines computer's speed? Or does it depend on a processor as well, like, say i3 or Pentium?
4. Last thing is a graphics card. I have no idea whatsoever which cards are good and bad for games. Basically, I want a graphics card that will allow me to play modern games such as, I don't know, COD MW 2, or Fable 2, or Assassin's Creed 2.
I hope that that's not too much for a laptop below 500 Euros, and I want some advice on what laptop to buy. Usually, I would do all the research myself, but I am under very high pressure for time now. THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE FOR READING AND ANSWERING MY NOOBISH QUESTION
