MSCCG Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I have an LCD monitor with a DVI only port.I have a PS3 (which my mate gave to me). Question: Please confirm whether it is correct to get an HDMI/DVI converter cable to plug in from my PS3 to monitor? Also, if I wish to plug in my desktop PC to the monitor, aswell as my PS3, do I need a double as the monitor has only one port? Many thanks refer to this videoif you want PC and PS3 into a single moniter you'll need something that switches, like this: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSCCG Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I need to replace my old Lenovo laptop which i have had for 4+ years. I have narrowed it down to these 3. My choice is very limited as i live in Cambodia and we only have one shop really that sells genuine laptops. I mainly use my laptop for playing FM, browsing the web, watching movies and listening to music. Which one of the three is the best value for money? Also which one would be able to run alot of different leagues in FM the best. Im thinking the 2nd option, but as i know very little about laptops i could be completely wrong.1.Lenovo IdeaPad Z480 ( LL-557 ) Intel Core i5-3210M (2.5GHZ, 3MB Cache) 4GB DDR2 SDRAM 750B HDD SATA 14 WXGA Nvidia GeForce GT630M 2GB 669$ 2.Dell Inspiron 5537 (LE-600) Intel Core i5-4220U (1.60GHZ, 3MB Cache) 4GB DDR3 750GB HDD SATA 15.6 HD WLED DVD+/-RW AMD Radeon HD 8850M 2GB 709$ 3.Dell Inspiron 5437 (LE-540) Intel Core i5-4220U (1.60GHZ, 3MB Cache) 4GB DDR3 500B HDD SATA 14 HD WLED DVD+/-RW Nvidia GeForce GT740M 2GB 699$ Thanks If those are your three options, pick the first one. It has a higher clock speed than the others (2.5 GHZ versus 1.6) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a higher clock speed than the others (2.5 GHZ versus 1.6) Thanks for the reply MSCCG. I have checked with the shop and they don't have the Lenovo one in stock, typical! They do have the following though. Which actually looks abit better. What do you reckon? Lenovo IdeaPad 3000 Z480 ( LL-592) Intel Core i5-3230M (2.60GHZ, 3MB Cache) 4GB DDR2 SDRAM 1TB HDD SATA 14 WXGA Nvidia GeForce 2GB 739$ I have a couple questions. You said in your 1st post that the clock speed is faster which i can see. But doesnt the Dell one's have the new 4th Gen Intel CPUs in them, where as the Lenovo's have the older 3rd Gen Intel CPUs in? Does this make a big difference, especially when running FM? Also on the latest Lenovo one (IdeaPad 3000 Z480). Do you think the graphics card is powerful enough to run any recent-ish games? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Broadly speaking, improvements from the 3rd generation to the 4th generation were not performance related, but power consumption related. If you're going to have it plugged in (and for playing games you'll want that) then it doesn't make a whole lot of difference. "NVIDIA GeForce 2GB" isn't very specific, but looks like a good amount of video RAM. That computer is good enough to play FM at a decent speed, and other ones too.

Yes i always have my current laptop plugged in, so making sure i get one of the 4th gen CPUs isnt such a big issue then. It seems all the Lenovo laptops they sell that come with the NVIDIA GeForce 2GB are either Nvidia GeForce GT630M 2GB or Nvidia GeForce GT740M 2GB.

philgeorge1 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I have also been going through this thread and looking at the laptops suggested.

Sounds like you've got a good idea of what you want, so it's up to you to find a good price. Thing is, I think you'll have trouble finding a quad core processor for under £500.

The problem for me about buying a MacBook is that I'm not sure whether the game does run better on OSX than on Windows. I suspect it doesn't, which means that all things being equal, a Windows PC versus a MacBook will support FM for an equal amount of time. The advantages then would be in simply buying into the Apple "experience", which is at the very least a more consistent affair than with Windows. Free updates, free productivity suite, great support, great software and hardware. For a pure gamer, this may not be enough to spend the extra money. On the other hand, since you use iTunes I assume you have an iOS device. To be honest, you're probably already halfway convinced as most iDevice users are. Another way to look at it is that MacBooks and iDevices tend to have a much higher resale value than products of any other brand. This means that instead of chucking it out after 2 or 3 years you may even be able to get something back for it, especially if you take care of it well. Also, iTunes works much better on a Mac and having multiple Apple devices is a pretty neat experience too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW88 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Hello again. Even after my previous posts I'm still undecided on a laptop. Mainly needed for FM, Microsoft office, general internet use, iTunes. Found a few others since my last post. Wondered if they'd be any good? http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5089521.htm?cmpid=APP01 http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5089545.htm?CMPID=GS001&_$ja=cgid:5897164742%7Ctsid:41408%7Ccid:130176782%7Clid:18283950120%7Cnw:g%7Ccrid:30941948102%7Crnd:6003183571663386829%7Cdvc:t%7Cadp:1o1%7Ckw: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/1386307.htm?cmpid=APP01 Always liked the design of Sony Vaio's so hoping that would be what I need. Unsure of the processor though (Argos seem to have failed say what 'dual core' processor it is). I'm thinking the Acer might be a downgraded version of the other Acer mentioned on here recently? I5 rather than i7 And the HP, I don't really know much about (or haven't heard much) about AMD processors although it does also carry a dedicated graphics card, which the Vaio doesn't.

That website gives very little information. If it's definitely between those three, pick the Acer or the HP as they are almost equal. If you want a Sony, don't buy it from that website.
