Hi,
Just seen the Harvey Norman ad for the Compaq Presario CQ40-418AX.
Link is below:
http://catalogues.harveynorman.com.au/portal/offerdetails/co…
Problem is I can't find any reviews for this model online. Does anyone know if this is a good deal? Will be used for some work. Would this cope with online games such as WoW or EVE?
Thanks for any info.
At that price, you are better off getting the Acer AS5536G-644G32Mn which is much better with the ATI radeon mobility 4570 hd for $1,162 + $20 for shipping at JB hifi.
