    New Laptop Needed

    I currently have Acer Support: Acer Extensa 5235 Notebook Series Specifications
    Which I have upgraded too 4GB RAM, but it doesn't quite keep up with ADMC, which is mainly what I need it too do now. The CPU is constantly maxed out whilst I am running the stream. I also play video's from my iPhone 4S and the laptop struggles to play them also, which are 1080p.

    I found this Acer Aspire E1 Laptop - Laptops | Ebuyer.com
    but I am not sure whether the processor or the graphics upgrade is good enough? As I don't have a clue with the in's and out's of this subject.

    I am not into spending over ?500 as I really don't have the use for a laptop other than a bit of surfing, downloading and mostly watching the football.

    Legends of Kaos, advice please. Cheers.

          I have bought one of the Acer aspire E1 on offer at Amazon ?50 cheaper than anyone else that I can see!
          I am very impressed with the laptop
          If a i5 two core processor isn't a good enough upgrade then you'll have to blow your ?500 budget

          Asus K55A 15.6-inch Laptop (Aluminium) - (Intel Core i7 3610QM 2.3GHz ?499 at Amazon


          Or maybe you just need to run a ccleaner registry clean or similary ( clean the crap out of it--you only use it for email, surfing ?) on what you have ?

            What would you reccomend that I used to "clean the crap out of it"?

            Cheers.

                  Yea that's it also run malwarebyte if you haven't already done so before
                  these two programs will remove a lot of clagg that has built up in the system over time ----might make it appear like a new machine
                  there are other optimizer and anti malware programs but these two have never buggered up! a system that some programs have to my knowledge

                  Malwarebytes : Free anti-malware download

                  if not the two buy options I mentioned are good deals
