For £1,500 you’d be hard pressed to find an unbranded laptop that you couldn’t afford and while...
In a PC gaming environment, the onus is very much placed on speed and reaction. The last thing you need when you’re clicking the mouse buttons or trying to quickly use the scroll wheel is any lag or lapse in reaction from the mouse itself.

Those netbooks, eh? They seem to be cropping up just about everywhere. The Asus Eee PC has gone down a storm and a number of other netbooks have also emerged. Gizmodo’s Brian Lam met Michael Dell at the All Things Digital event last night where he saw the prototype of an as yet unnamed small form netbook. Netbook is the term that has been given to small laptops designed to make connecting to the Internet a simple and more affordable option.
