Recomendations for a sub £600 laptop suitable for mid range gaming

Title says it all, does anyone have any good recomendations as it's a minefield out there.

I appreciate that I won't get a stunning lap top but something which runs Call of Duty and Flight Simulator x will be fine, even if only on medium settings.

Preference obviously would include 4gb ram, 500+mb hard drive and dedicated graphics card. I am however a realist!

Thanks for your help folks.

I recently bought my daughter an ex-lease Dell Studio laptop (RRP about 1000GBP) for 600GBP from an online specialist store. Current model, 6 months old with all the stuff you asked about, bluetooth enabled & 17" screen

I would check out ebuyer.com I got an Acer laptop from there for around £400 and it's able to run pretty much anything.

Hi Obs cop

I also recommend a peek at ebuyer.com - have been buying my PC components/systems there for years now.

I play Call Of Duty 4 and use FSX occasionally but you'd be hard-pressed to find a laptop that can run them both smoothly. You'll need loads of RAM, a quad core processor and the best on-board graphics you can afford. Not sure you'd find that for under £600 though.
