    Hi,

    I need a laptop for general usage with light gaming. The model I have senn is a Sony Vaio NS30E/S. Some the the main specs are:

    CPU: T6400 2GHZ
    RAM: 4GB
    GFX: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3430 256 MB GDDR3 SDRAM

    It has a large 400GB HD with Memory Card Reader. Its priced around £550-650. I normally rip and encode alot of music and videos, sometimes play games but not too demanding, Im not a hardcore gamer.

    In terms of CPU and GFX do you think they are good and how do they stand against T7300 and NVIDIA 8600 256MB?


    I like the laptop but need a little help with the CPU and GFX selection.

    Thankyou.
