Thanks for your reply ftldave. Yeah, maybe it was a little bit of wishful thinking drawing the line at £800... :rolleyes: I guess the £1400-£1600 would be a more realistic target for something capable of running the mods I'd like, but still not costing an arm and a leg. Some of the laptops on that link you sent look rather appealing, I'll look into those :)
I wont rule out a desktop, but if I can pick up a laptop that runs FSX just as well for half the price of a desktop setup then spot on... If anyone else has any recommendations or experiences with either then keep them coming.
EDIT: Jorgen, I don't mind spending the extra money for a good setup, just as long as that money doesn't venture too far into the thousands... I use flight sim as a hobby in my spare time (some evenings after work, maybe a few hours here and there on the weekends), but not often enough to justify raiding my bank for a "hardcore" setup... But I'll certainly do my research into a few desktops
