Just wondering what your opinions are on PCs vs Laptops?? Im thinking of retiring my 7 year old PII 350MHz "Tiny" machine for an new, much faster one. The only thing is that I cant decide what to go for - a PC or a laptop!!
I am obviously looking for a computer that is future proof and is relatively easy to use. Where Desktop PCs are concerned, I was thinking about Dell as a supplier (perhaps the Dimension 8400 - altered to fit my requirements). Where a laptop is concerned, I seem to be leaning towards HP as a manufacturer, because I have had no major problems with them.
The HP Laptops I've seen has a 3.2GHz P4 Processor onboard in addition to all the usual mod cons - and the price aren't too bad either.
See:
HP Pavilion zd8181EA
HP Pavilion zd8185EA
Both of these laptops are on sale (according to HP) for roughly the same cost - £1299, which I think is fantastic for their specifications!!!! I have seen the HP Pavilion zd8181EA on the DABS site, but have, as yet, been unable to find the 8585 model. Also, the space saving potential of a laptop is quite intriguing, rather than having to find room for a tower unit, monitor, etc.
To cut a long story short, I am interested in learning your opinion regarding the PC/Laptop debate - what is best in the long run?; your opinion of HP/Dell - both good and bad stories!!
Thanks for all your contributions!!!
