Hey all,
My sister is wanting a laptop for her birthday. Now I'm not too sure on laptops when it comes to the graphic units, or the processors either to be honest, because they seem completly different.
We don't want to spend over £400 if possible, and thats probably pushing it, but all she'll mostly be gaming on, is the Sims 2 & 3 when it comes out later this year, plus of course, for work, etc.
Now I know most laptops are dual cores now, so thats not an issue really, but in terms of graphics power, most at the £380 price range run off a:
ATI Radeon 3200
This should be capable of running the Sims 3 when it arrives right?
I'm guessing the Intel graphic chips aren't up to much though.
Also, what brand would you get if you had a choice on laptops?
Were thinking of getting it from here:

Like this:

What does it mean when it says:
* Onboard: ATI Radeon HD 3200
* Dedicated: ATI Radeon HD 3470 Hybrid graphics 256Mb GDDR2.
It's got 2 graphics chips?
How good is this?:

Sorry about all the questions
