Hi guys!

I'm looking to get myself a laptop but know next to nothing about hardware or what brands of computers are good. If anyone could suggest me something that fits the following requirements (give or take) that would be great!

~ Windows XP or Vista
~ At least a Pentium 3, 1.5GHz
~ At least a 200gb Hard Drive
~ Min. 1024x768 Resolution
~ A graphics card good enough to run games 4 or 5 years old if possible.
~ Wireless internet conncection

Basically I'm going to be using it for word processing, internet and playing older games. Thanks for any advice, and if you could give me a rough price estimate, that would be awesome!

Games is the only tricky part of that, the rest of the specs are pretty standard fare for all laptops these days. Which country are you in?

This should tick all the boxes, it's not very good for games at all, so you will need to mention what games you want to play, but it will do everything else.
