NOT Much of a budget... £350 to £400 mark...

mainly need good battery life (priority) but also a fairly good processor and graphics capabilities, as will be used for uni work...

Main things its going to be doing is compiling alot of C++ Code, and testing games (2d and 3d genre) as its what I do on my course (Games Tech)

Seen a few on eBay going cheap-ish, and some on misco.co.uk aswell...

any recomendations??

cheers

oh yeah... also needs Wi-Fi capabilities, and also CD Burning (DVD Burning pref, but not essential) plenty of storage (40Gb+) and 512Mb RAM or more... (unless price of laptop + upgrade parts works out cheaper...)
