Buying a new laptop
 

Could anyone suggest a decent laptop? (price range is up to £400)

Needs good speed, wifi, 60 - 80 gb HDD.

Thank you.

I think it's pretty ace for the money.

XP Professional - English

Wireless, Dvd-RW .etc

Yvostros are supposed to be business machines but dell are quite happy to sell them to home users via those deals, I bought a dimension off one of those and my friend got a vostro desktop :D

The second one has a 90 day rtb warranty so its a refurb id be cautious

The vostro looks ok though

Can't beleive I'm gonna say this, but some of the Gateway Laptops that Tesco sell are absolutely fantastic, a basicish laptop with a reasonable C2D CPU, 1GB RAM, Wireless, Intel GMA950 Graphics can be had for about £350, really good quality piece of kit too! - Comes with Vista (and seems to run it rather well)

Might not be, dell seems to be offering 90day warrentys on some of their cheaper computers :Yikes:

Is that even legal in this country :erm:

Look at the ACER range - excellent value and full of features

Re: Buying a new laptop
 

Thats actually quite a good spec for the money it seems :)

Re: Buying a new laptop
 

not if they are new

Re: Buying a new laptop
 

Thats what I thought yet they are...

for instance http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/pr...hs1&l=en&s=dhs

the 2nd notebook has a 90day warranty yet no mention of it being a refurb :confused:

Re: Buying a new laptop
 

Thanks for the help people, will take a closer look at all of those.

HP 530 Laptop (Core Duo, 1Gb, Vista Basic)? £360 from Dabs. Probably will get one as present for my son.

Re: Buying a new laptop
 

I looked at that one but thought an extra £40 for a spare battery, 40gb extra hard drive and Vista Premium was a good choice over it.

that says 90 collect and return im imagining the 9 months left are just RTB
