My nephew has asked for a laptop for Xmas to play a Farming Simulator game
The game requires the following :-
Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8
2.0 GHz Intel or equivalent AMD processor
Nvidia Geforce 7600 Series, ATI Radeon X1600 graphics card or better (min 256 MB VRAM)
1 GB RAM
2 GB free hard drive space
Soundcard
DVD-ROM Drive
I really don`t want to spend alot considering he`s only going to be using the laptop for this type of game.
Can anyone recommend something reasonable ?

for £140 you could get this:

or for £275 you could get this which is much more modern and comes with the latest Windows 8.

Or you could try your local paper's 2nd hand classifieds...
Looked at the toshiba 850 but is the processor powerful enough
Processor / Chipset
CPU
Intel Celeron B830 / 1.8 GHz
The game requires 2.0Ghz
Will spend up to 300.00

Possibly a little late for advice about buying an xmas present?
Merry Christmas;)
