Laptops that can tackle games are traditionally huge beasts slathered in glowing lights and angry-looking vents. The Toshiba Satellite P755 will happily take on your games without making such a fuss about it.Our model, the P755-113, came with an Intel Core i5 processor, 6GB of RAM and a dedicated Nvidia GeForce 3410M graphics card.It's available from £1,000.The P755 is pretty much the little brother of the P770. Instead of packing a massive 17-inch screen, it offers a more modest 15.6-inch display, giving the laptop a more compact size. At 380mm wide and 254mm deep, it's not the most portable of machines, but it's much easier to slide into a bag than the 17-inch sibling. With a weight of 2.6kg, you won't be too knackered when you take it across town to your friend's place. It's not as portable as the ultra-light elites such as the Asus Zenbook UX31, but it's not designed to be. The P755 is better suited to being plonked down on a desk for some video and gaming action and only occasionally taken somewhere. If travel is on your mind, you probably shouldn't be looking too closely at this machine. Made from fake plastic trees, the lid has an unusual wood grain effect.
Things are moving fast in mobile gaming right now. For the traditional laptop to stay relevant in these tablet-filled times, it has to offer something special to offset the decreased mobility compared to its touchscreen foe. The easiest area to exploit is raw power, specifically graphics. Fruit Ninja is all well and good on an Apple iPad 2, but what if you want to play the latest DirectX 11 games on the go?Enter Toshiba's Satellite P775-113. Under the bonnet, an Nvidia GT 540M handles the pixel pushing, which spells playable frame rates in graphically demanding DX11 titles. It's the latest in a new breed of vaguely affordable gaming PCs making the most out of rapidly advancing mobile technology. And at this price point, things are starting to get crowded. Medion's Erazer X6811 has impressively powerful CPU and GPU chops at just £899, but suffers in the build quality stakes. The Alienware M11x offers similarly impressive gaming performance coupled with Alienware's trademark excellent build quality, but corner cutting in storage and a lack of optical drive tarnishes the M11x's appeal.For the same money again, the HP Envy 14 packs AMD's Radeon HD 5650 GPU but gets some laptop fundamentals such as screen quality and trackpad wrong.
