Hi chaps,
My parents are getting my sister a new PC for her birthday, and they asked me to sort it out. I would normally rather enjoy doing this, but it turns out that she wants a laptop, and, what's more one that can play 'games'. I've tried to dissuade her, and get her to let me build her a desktop, but she won't budge. So, I've got to buy a pre-built laptop. Grrr.
The main problem I've run across is laptop graphics cards-I simply don't know what models are out there, how powerful each model is, etc. Can anyone give me a basic rundown of the currently available budget, mid-range and high-end portable cards from Nvidia and ATi at the moment?
