Question from Jabba: Asked on 26/04/2007 Could you link up an xbox 360 with the laptop so you can use the laptops screen instead of a tv?

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 27/04/2007
This caused a bit of a debate in our office! We came to the conclusion that the only way you could do this would be to use a USB TV Tuner that had a compatible input socket on it, but we dont currently sell one ourselves.

Question from Edward: Asked on 22/04/2007 I have just bought this laptop with a 2gb upgrade. It runs all the latest games smoothly. Games which require a minimum of say, 1.7ghz work fine because of the dual core capabilities. Im not sure what its like with just 1gb but with 2gb it runs very smooth.

Its quite light considering its almost a desktop replacement. Delivery was 2 days, and 1 day for fixing the extra ram. Which was extremely proficient.

A great buy indeed.

Question from RC: Asked on 10/04/2007 The graphics card is described as supporting 256MB. In the detailed spec it says 128MB. Which is it, a 256MB or 128MB card?

The graphics card is a turbo cache card which has 128MB of dedicated memory but is able to address a portion of the system memory as well. This means the graphics can offer the performance of a 256MB card at not only a lower price, but also with a longer battery life as it uses less power.
