All class three Graphics cards and my budget is at most about £750.

Anything better?
If not which one is the best?

Answer 1

Honestly, none of them. You ABSOLUTELY need 512MB of video memory, and this is not something you can upgrade later on a laptop.



Here's what I just bought:

The only game I've run is WoW, but I'm getting 50-60 fps on mostly max settings.



The one I would most recommend for you is the Asus:

It's received outstanding reviews at Cnet and PCWorld as a great, affordable gaming computer. The only reason I decided against it was its bulk when taking it to class. It is heavier than mine, but will outperform mine on games.

Answer 3

the Dell you list has intel graphics so stay away from intel graphics, i usually don't advocate gaming laptops as you cant upgrade the graphics card to keep up with game revisions but on a desktop you can keep the motherboard and CPU for quite a while and get a much cheaper lap top, but thats just my 2 cents
