20-Nov-2008 ann brittle: what graphics card is with this looking 4 a gefoce card or one that can play games

5-Dec-2008 david: Could this laptop play Left 4 Dead ?
Matt: No.

David J: yes
8-Dec-2008 Lewis: Is it possible to upgrade the visual memory and graphics card on this laptop through an independant engineer?
David J: specifications other than ram memory are set features directly from the manufacturer. So I would have to say no about the graphics.
10-Jan-2009 Dan: What is an 'American-layout' keyboard?
SteveF: The normal keys are the same but some of the shift symbols such as " and £ are moved around and changed into dollar signs for instance.
12-Jan-2009 bill: does this have a wireless facility on board? also, what software is it loaded with? if i want MS office - how much pls? S
David J: This laptop is wireless and will have a trial version of Microsoft Office pre installed. Full versions start from £65 dependng on which version is required
13-Jan-2009 Phil: As this machine is on the lower end of the spec scale, it may be "Vista Capable" but does it fall into any performance issues resulting from the heavy load of the Vista OS? My main worry is the exponential slowdown of start up and program response times with a machine of this spec
SteveF: I'd recommend upgrading the RAM. Microsoft say that vista needs 1Gb of RAM to operate fully, but as this machine only has 1GB, there will be nothing left for the rest of the system resulting in slow down. 2GB or above is fine and will stop any problems. Please give our sales team a call for all upgrade prices.
16-Jan-2009 wayne: can i get this laptop pre-installed with Windows XP instead of Vista??
David J: This laptop cannot be downgraded to XP, it would need to be a laptop on Windows Vista Business or Ultimate in order to downgrade to XP
