    Laptop for a mate

    He's looking to spend around £500, uses include Auto CAD for uni, general internet stuff and games such as Total War and Company of Heroes. So a decent CPU paired with a low/mid GPU would be fine, he's currently got a Turion Ultra and integrated graphics so thinking along the lines of an i5 and GT540 or something?

    He found an Asus A53Z-SX137V which is AMD A6-3420M, 8GB RAM, 500GB HD for £450.

    Anything better out there?

    Does he have anymore in the budget??

    You can get i7 based laptops for as low as £580 with 6gb ram, 500gb hdd and GT540m, well worth spending the extra for an i7, the 4 cores will be a massive improvement.

    Acer Aspire 5755G.

      There's a couple of fair spec'd laptops available with dedicated GPU's in the shop with a name similar to 'asteroid'

        I'd say £525 is his absolute max, doesn't want to spend much more than that.
