Thinking About A New Laptop

leelee77

I am thinking about getting a new laptop for playing, my old one does work but it can get quite laggy as it is ancient.

I am torn between a cheaper option (not buying it from here but you get the spec on the link:

AMD Quad-Core processor A6-3400M
6 GB RAM and 750 GB hard drive
15.6" HD Acer CineCrystal LED LCD screen
AMD Radeon HD 6650M 1GB graphics card
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Or a more expensive one

I currently have a Toshiba and it serves me well, but it's graphics card is a Mobility Radeon HD3470 - so you can see it's quite outdated And it only has 3GB of RAM on a 32bit OS so you can imagine it can get quite laggy.

Would the cheaper one be okay for simming (I don't really play any of my other games but if I were they wouldn't be massive on graphics) or should I splash out on the more expensive one?

Thanks
