Buying a laptop

[Flamezdudes]

The limit I have at the moment is at around £300 and probably can go a bit further than that price though. I'm probably going to use it to play games aswell and for school work so i'm wondering if I can get any advice on what laptop to get...? Thanks!

I'm thinking of maybe these two:

I haven't exactly looked very much yet but I like these two. I don't understand computer specs to be honest when it comes to gaming and other things i'm wondering how the specs of these two laptops measure up to gaming?

EDIT: Also, how does this measure up to gaming? http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/acer-aspire-5552-15-6-laptop-black-10945106-pdt.html

Yeah those aren't going to do any modern gaming. Not by a long shot.

This is the only laptop that I found that fits your needs and price range. This will only do LIGHT gaming, though.

I kinda expected it... :/ By light gaming, what sort of games could you give examples of?

If you aren't going to play any demanding games(Crysis, Metro 2033), then that laptop will run plenty of modern games fine on the lowest settings, maybe medium-high settings for other low demanding games.

Also, the only time you should be playing games on a laptop is when you're in a place with an outlet, as gaming will absolutely murder your battery life. When you're away from an outlet, just use the thing for web browsing/school work.
