Looking for the ultimate desktop replacement with multimedia features thatll keep all the family entertained?

Well luckily enough, we have that very laptop in the form of the 7730 and all for a price that will beat the credit crunch.

Boasting a lightning fast Intel Core 2 Duo processor running at 2Ghz, the 7730 relishes multi tasking, which to you and me means downloading the latest music off iTunes while the kids finish off their homework will be a breeze.

The 4GB of RAM included is more than enough to cope with the demands of Vista while the massive 250Gb hard drive has enough storage space for all the families music, videos and photos.

Not only that, the crystal clear high resolution 17" screen shows images with vibrant clarity that will bring your movies to life.

Add a Crystal eye webcam, built in Stereo speakers, microphone and a 5 in 1 card reader and you have a machine that does it all. Built to be future proof and sporting the new all-black gemstone casing, this laptop finally puts to bed any doubts that the laptop can keep up with the desktop.

Question from christopher: Asked on 01/02/2009 hello, will the shared graphics card be able to cope with 3d design software?

Answer from SteveF: Answered on 02/02/2009
No, I would go with a dedicated graphics card. 3D design work is one of the most intensive applications you can run on a computer so you need as much power under the hood as you can get.

Question from Robin: Asked on 28/01/2009 Would this laptop play older games like Halo 1 or freelancer or half life 2 etc... also is the USB bootable? can i boot from an usb flash drive with a varient on linux on it?

Answer from SteveF: Answered on 28/01/2009
Porbally won't play ant games very well as it has a shared graphics card. Look for any model with a dedicate graphics card of 256mb or over and you'll be fine. Couldn't say about the booting. Not something I've done.

Question from Anita: Asked on 27/01/2009 doest it have 5 in1 card reader?

Answer from SteveF: Answered on 28/01/2009
Yes it does.

Question from Drakonian: Asked on 22/01/2009 I am thinking of using this laptop in school and connect it to a interactive whiteboard. Will the fact that it has no dedicated graphics option hinder this?

Answer from David J: Answered on 22/01/2009
This should still be fine to connect to the whiteboard. The only thing that will be hindered with shared graphics is the ability for displaying 3D images
Answer from SteveF: Answered on 22/01/2009
It may slow the laptop down from time to time as it will use system resources for that job but it does support a resolution of 1440 x 900 which is good as the higher the res, the better the enlarged image will look on the board.

Question from cleebay: Asked on 16/01/2009 Could you please tell me which variants of the 7730 have a built in Webcam ?

Answer from SteveF: Answered on 19/01/2009
Please give our sales team a call on that one thanks.

Answer from SteveF: Answered on 14/01/2009
Yes it would although if you're doing any intensive in photoshop it might be worth looking for a notebook with a dedicated graphics card.

Question from julia: Asked on 11/01/2009 I am looking for a laptop to replace my desktop and am interested in this one. However my son has a game that has never worked on my desktop. It is command and conquer tiberium wars. It needs the following spec: Processor: vista 2.2GHz, 1GB RAM, HDD-6.0GB, 8 speed DVd, Video Card Vista 128MB, soudn direct x 9.0. Would this laptop play this game?

Answer from SteveF: Answered on 12/01/2009
The spec on that machine is great but it has an integrated graphics card so will struggle with most new games. Have a look for something that has a dedicated graphics card such as an Nvidea Geforce or ATi card with at least 128mb of dedicated memory.
