I would bear in mind the 'next' version of Virtual RC if you are thinking of buying a laptop specifically for that job.

VRC Pro is the next one, new graphics engine, new dynamics and the introduction of off-road!!

but if you are buying something specifically for VRC bear in mind the new version

something with 3d graphics card, not on board graphics.

something like this as a bare minimum, but it isn't up to much games wise

something with a geforce card should have a bit more poke, like this

I would get something with at least an 8xxx series geforce in it.

The bottom one listed above is good. There is also this:

This has less RAM but a better graphics card - so a compromise. Both should run VRC Pro though.

Remember guys the Apple laptops under £1400 have the most basic graphics chips possible and won't play games very well

Okay I thought the Mac comments above were a joke.

VRC won't run on a Mac, and 99.99% of all games will not run on a Mac...
