24-Oct-2007 Brig Hilton: What laptop in the Gemstone section would be most ideal for gaming?

Easycom: Personally I would go for the Acer Gemstone 5920G as it has a dedicated graphics card suitable for all the latest 3D games, also it features and HDMI port to connect to an HD TV if you want to play your games on a larger screen.

16-Nov-2007 jim: Im after a laptop, for word processing, photo manipulation and sorting out music...i want one that is reliable, quick but not ultra portable....it this the baby for me?? what else -in a similar price range- could this be compared to? -cheers

Easycom: This would be fine, however it has a integrated graphics card. Why not have a look at product code KB363EA, it is slightly dearer but has a dedicated graphics card, ideal for photo manipulation.

Easycom: This would be fine to guitar tracks pro 3.

22-Nov-2007 Nigel: What would be the best router to get for this product i am on Virgin Media and want a very good product so price is not an option.

Easycom: This will depend on your modem connection as if it is a USB connection you will need a modem router to replace your existing modem. If it is a network modem then I would recommend product code DI-524/B, as from personal experience the D-Link is very simple to set up and is great for use with Virgin media.
