Hi peoples,

I'm looking for a laptop for work, with capability of occasional gaming. None of the high graphics intensive stuff, just something capable of playing Starcraft II, Left for Dead II and Diablo III in the future.

I'm trying to steer clear away from HP, Compaq and other brands renowned for unreliability.

It will ultimately be for work so reliability is the biggest things. Also I'd prefer and HDMI out, and preferably USB3 (not a must).

If anyone can help me find the best deal with the best possible specs please feel free to recommend me anything :)

Cheers

    Easy, Lenovo E520. Use the Promo code BULK2.

    $550-ish, and you get Core i5, 4GB RAM, Radeon 6630 graphics switchable card and 500 gig 7400RPM drive. Add an extra dollar and you can get a portable USB drive (500GB) and shipping is free.
    It does not have USB 3, but it has a powered USB port (x1) and a ESATA hybrid USB port.

    You just missed the T520 , around 600 deal. Was the best deal ever for a Thinkpad T series.

      The one is the best computing deal, period.

      I think, Dell Vostro will be better for you with HDMI and USB3. Keep looking for deals coming on it in every mid month. Or at least get 10 % off with NRMA coupon
