It's been a while, folks. But you guys seem to know lots of computer related things.
Been thinking about buying a laptop computer for a while now, and was wondering what you all might recommend. I've got about £700 exc. VAT, which I appreciate isn't a vast sum, but I'm not looking for the king of all notebooks here. Just something to while away the hours.
In my research, I've found Acer's and Tiny's to be the best value, with Tiny cheaper but with a less impressive service record, and Acer better quality but marginally more expensive. PC World just can't leave the Celeron M on anything lower than a grand and Dell insists on 40Gb HDD as standard, charging silly sums for upgrades.
So, if anyone knows of any good deals, or has any helpful suggestions, I'd appreciate it. As a kind of minimum, the spec I'd like is :
Intel Centrino (Or equivalent) 1.6Ghz +
60Gb+ Hard drive
512Mb RAM
15" Screen
ATi Mobility Graphics 128mb (Or equivalent)
DVD+RW drive
Wi-fi ready
Firewire & USB2 ports + 'Standard' connectivity (LAN etc)
So...thoughts?
